China's EV startups, including XPeng, Nio, and Li Auto, are making steady progress in autonomous driving, unlike Tesla and General Motors who have faced setbacks.

Still, there are glimmers of hope. Just this month, Waymo secured approval from California regulators for paid robotaxi rides on San Francisco freeways and other highways in the Bay Area, meaning that autonomous trips to San Francisco International Airport will be possible. In Germany, as of March 1, BMW is allowing Level 3 hands-off driving to be turned on in the 7 Series.

On the flip side, Tesla and General Motors have been grabbing most of the recent headlines when it comes to self-driving cars in the hands of the public, and for all the wrong reasons—mass recalls, suspended licenses, spending cuts, and huge losses. But in China, a number of companies are steadily—and far more successfully—moving toward a similar destination, but via a different route. Since the introduction of XPilot with its first model, the G3, XPeng has been one of the leaders in autonomous driving in China. However, since then it has also been joined in the arena by the other two China EV startups, Nio and Li Aut
