According to the 21 Financial Report, it was learned from multiple sources that on the morning of June 7, Lang Xianpeng, vice president of intelligent driving of Ideal Automobile, held a department meeting to respond to the recent recall of some laid-off employees in the intelligent driving department, saying that the move is due to the need for business adjustment.
At the same time, he promised the entire department that the layoffs in the smart driving department had ended.
“If one more person is left for smart driving, the one who will give priority will be me.
” It also announced the recall of some dismissed employees.
, He also informed all staff in the intelligent driving department that the department’s next focus is to mass produce NOAs in unplanned cities and gradually replace planned solutions.
However, he did not give a specific time when NOAs in specific unmapped cities would be pushed to users.
Some Ideal Automobile R & D personnel said that at present, some laid-off employees have been notified of being recalled at the test end.
The compensation negotiated previously has not yet been paid, and this part of the compensation will not be provided to the recalled personnel in the future.
Contracts involving employees will be renewed directly, and it is unclear how large the recall and the proportion of each department will be.
, Previously, according to the 21 Financial Report, the overall optimization ratio of ideal cars exceeded 18%, involving more than 5600 employees.
Among them, the sales and service operation department has been optimized to more than 400 people, the recruitment department has been reduced from more than 200 people to 40 to 50 people, and the smart driving team will be reduced to less than 1000 people.
At the same time, Lei Feng.
com also mentioned that employees of the Intelligent Driving Department of Ideal Automobile who suffered layoffs once said that this round of personnel adjustment had a great impact on the internal R & D and testing department, and development had almost stalled, and testing was only assisted by a small number of low-cost external teams.
There is also news that if the ideal third quarter is still unsatisfactory, the company is likely to launch the second wave of layoffs this year in September.
After the failed launch of Ideal Automobile’s first pure electric vehicle Mega, its modification plan was delayed, which disrupted the pace of advancement of pure electric models, which in turn led to a significant reduction in Ideal’s sales target of 800,000 vehicles this year.
According to the “Late Auto” report, many investors speculate that the annual sales of the ideal car will be about 480,000 units, an increase of 27.
6% compared with the same period last year.
This target is almost halved compared with the initially set sales of 800,000 units.
Now, with the recall of ideal layoffs, it indicates that its technological innovation has once again made a significant breakthrough.
On June 8, Ideal Automobile CEO Li Xiang said at the 2024 China Automobile Chongqing Forum that Ideal established an autonomous driving research team in September last year.
In the past six months, Ideal Automobile has made a technical breakthrough on autonomous driving.
At the same time, he emphasized that autonomous driving here is not intelligent driving or assisted driving, but autonomous driving.
Li Xiang announced that he would launch a national no-map NOA in the third quarter of this year, and simultaneously launch an end-to-end +VLM supervised autonomous driving system trained through 3 million clips to test users.
He believes that with the evolution of the technology, the enhancement of computing power and the increase of models,”unsupervised” L4-level autonomous driving can be achieved within at least three years.
