On April 25th, Xiaopeng launched AI Tianji system at the Beijing Auto Show, marking Xiaopeng Motor entered the AI era in an all-round way.
Photo: Xiaopeng Automobile, it is understood that AI Tianji system is committed to the comprehensive application of AI technology to intelligent cockpit and intelligent driving.
Based on the in-depth application of the AI model, Xiaopeng’s life assistant, AI Xiao P, will have a higher level of understanding and will be able to personalize and combine more than 100 cockpit functions to achieve accurate prediction, smooth communication and accurate execution of user needs.
In AI smart driving, Xiaopeng car travel assistant AI driver’s visual perception and regulation ability will also be greatly improved.
Xiao Zhi comments: driven by the head car company, the big AI model “getting on the bus” is stepping into an era of quantitative change.
Dongfeng Motor and DJI vehicle have reached strategic cooperation.
On April 25, Dongfeng Automobile and DJI vehicle jointly announced that the two sides have formally signed a strategic cooperation agreement and will cooperate deeply in the development, integration and testing of intelligent driving system, and carry out mass production on several models of “Dongfeng” brand.
According to the agreement, the cooperation between Dongfeng Motor and DJI vehicles will fully cover the software and hardware technologies of the intelligent driving system, not only involving visual recognition algorithms, perceptual fusion algorithms, map positioning algorithms, regulation and control algorithms, etc.
, but also including vehicle intelligent driving domain controllers, sensors and other key components.
Xiaozhi comments: there is FAW in the front and Dongfeng in the back, and the “edge” of the car in Xinjiang can no longer be hidden.
Nissan signed a cooperation agreement with Baidu, and on April 25, Nissan (China) Investment Co., Ltd. and Baidu online Network Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. signed a memorandum of understanding.
The two sides will jointly carry out a feasibility study on strategic cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence and intelligent vehicles.
Source: Nissan, according to reports, the cooperation contents of this feasibility study include: based on Nissan’s intelligent platform, give full play to Baidu’s advantages in generative AI, jointly develop and study the future technological development and commercial cooperation feasibility in related fields.
Nissan carries Baidu AI solution on Chinese models to explore the development potential of AI solution.
Xiaozhi comments: from Toyota being exposed to holding hands with Huawei, to Nissan teaming up with Baidu, Japanese cars have finally become intelligent.
On April 23, China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) issued the filing notice for overseas issuance and listing of Pony AI Inc.
(pony Zhihang Co., Ltd.). According to the content, Horse Zhihang plans to issue no more than 98149500 common shares and be listed on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange.

Shangtang’s end-to-end solution UniAD made its debut on the bus.
On April 25th, Shangtang’s true end-to-end self-driving solution for mass production, UniAD, made its debut at the Beijing Auto Show.
As an end-to-end model that integrates perception, decision-making, planning and other modules into a full stack Transformer, Shangtang vanishing UniAD scheme realizes the integration of perception and decision-making, which can input the original information directly into the end-to-end model, and then output instructions based on self-vehicle trajectory planning.
Vehicles equipped with this scheme can observe and understand the external environment like human beings only by the visual perception of the camera, without the need for high-precision maps, and through data learning and driving, and then think and make decisions based on rich perceptual information.
independently deal with a variety of difficult urban complex driving scenes.
Xiao Zhi comments: as a new algorithm paradigm, end-to-end has set off a new round of technical reserve competition in the field of smart driving, leading the intelligent driver to move from “quantitative change” to “qualitative change”.
The company completed 300 million yuan in B2 round financing, and on April 23, it announced it received 300 million yuan in B2 round financing.
This round of financing is jointly invested by Jiuzhi Capital and Huzhou Changxing Industrial Investment Promotion Fund, which will be used to continuously strengthen the R & D investment of self-driving and strengthen the core competitiveness of the company.
