The competition was registered and followed by students from 20 universities in the mainland, Hong Kong and overseas, and many very high-quality creative imaginations emerged from the submitted works. A flying machine based on the "water droplets" in "Three-Body", a flying car that can freely travel freely in the metaverse, a "shoe car" that can be worn on the feet, a means of transportation suitable for the elderly to go up the mountain and into the sea... These works show the infinite creative imagination of contemporary college students and their bold exploration of the future. It is this spirit of courage to explore, as the point of convergence between Xiaopeng Motors and college students, to build a communication bridge between Xiaopeng Motors and the younger generation, and to continuously support the brand of Xiaopeng Automobile with youthful vitality and bold and innovative imagination.
