Recently, BMW Brilliance Lynk & Co Digital Information Technology Co., Ltd. (Lynk & Co) and ByteDance's Volcano Engine have partnered to innovate automotive marketing services with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology. This collaboration leverages AI to achieve precise product matching and purchase recommendations, optimize content guidance, and enhance the user car-buying experience and dealer operational efficiency. BMW Group President and CEO in Greater China, Gao Xiang, stated that AI is key to BMW's creation of smarter and more considerate mobility solutions, and is being rapidly integrated into R&D, production, supply chain, product, service, and operations.

Xiaopeng Motors chairman He Xiaopeng recently announced that the company's fully self-developed Turing AI chip will be mass-produced and launched in the second quarter of this year. This progress comes as the automotive industry accelerates the application of end-to-end intelligent driving technology and the scale of AI large models continues to expand. Xiaopeng Motors is building its strongest AI brain by simultaneously developing a world base model with 35 times the parameters of mainstream VLA models, and a self-developed chip with computing power equivalent to three Nvidia Orin Xs, which is about to be mass-produced.

He Xiaopeng revealed that in the first half of this year, XPeng Motors aims to conduct a comprehensive comparison with the world's best high-level intelligent driving capabilities, including functionality, performance, safety, and coverage, striving to achieve leading positions in both China and globally. He emphasized that XPeng and Tesla are the world's first AI technology companies to apply large-model end-to-end technology to intelligent driving and achieve mass production, and are also the only two companies capable of striving to achieve intelligent driving that "works well globally" with a single software solution, without relying on high-definition maps and lidar.

Recently, Shenzhen introduced a humanoid robot that attracted a large audience while strolling on the streets and quickly gained popularity overseas. This robot, named SE01, has a walking style, speed, and stability that closely resembles that of a human, even moving as gracefully as a model on a runway over a distance of several meters. Nvidia scientist Jim Fan expressed skepticism, suggesting that its gait seemed to be artificially generated, but upon verification, it was proven that this robot is indeed real. Zhongqing Robotics' emergence in the robotics field is remarkable.

The latest collaboration between Aliyun and Hezhima Intelligent has sparked a new wave in the domestic smart car sector. Aliyun announced that its Tongyi Qianwen models with 1.5 billion and 3 billion parameters have been successfully ported to the Hezhima Intelligent Wudang C1200 series automotive-grade chip, marking a significant breakthrough for domestic large models in vehicular scenarios. In practical applications, this integrated solution supports multi-turn natural dialogue in offline environments, providing users with a smooth human-computer interaction experience. This technological breakthrough not only demonstrates the R&D capabilities of domestic AI chips but also injects new momentum into the development of smart cars.

According to 36Kr, Xiaomi's automotive autonomous driving team recently completed a new round of organizational restructuring, marking the entry of Xiaomi's autonomous driving business into a new acceleration phase. The original two secondary departments, 'Perception' and 'Control', have been merged into the 'End-to-End Algorithm and Function Department', responsible for production-ready solution development. This change indicates that Xiaomi's autonomous driving will shift from traditional modular development to the technological route of large end-to-end models. The restructuring of Xiaomi's autonomous driving business and the shift in technological direction aim to capture user mindset and maintain high sales.

The Toyota Research Institute has partnered with Stanford University to incorporate artificial intelligence into two Toyota Supra sports cars, enabling synchronized driving similar to Formula drifting. This innovation not only showcases an impressive performance but also marks a milestone in the development of safety systems for passenger vehicles. Through the AI system, the two cars can assist drivers in better controlling their vehicles under extreme conditions, solving and analyzing problems up to 50 times per second, and quickly deciding on the most appropriate steering, throttle, and brake commands. During track tests, this system achieves precision through real-time communication.
