Ride-on Unicorn robot: A quadruped companion for kids
The latent potential for personal robotics became very real for me while I was strolling the halls of the 45th Bangkok International Motor Show this week. There are always good ideas at motor shows, except the good ideas at motor shows in developing regions seem to be far more affordable and practical than they are in more advanced economies ... and once more the Bangkok Motor Show delivered a pearl.
The star of the show for the attendees was unquestionably the XPeng flying car prototype that begins production in 2025. It was the first time Thailand had seen a flying car in the flesh, though XPeng's rise as a credible challenger to Tesla and its insistence that the 2025 production date is solid clearly added to the narrative. The excitement is that a flying car will soon be attainable, if not quite affordable.
With six EVs already on the market, a Humanoid bipedal robot and several different flying cars under development, XPeng now has the credibility to become a market maker.
