Major brands unveil their latest offerings at Guangzhou auto show, some tapping Al
-
Autonomous driving and artificial intelligence (AI) are the buzzwords at this week's Guangzhou auto show - the last major gathering of Chinese carmakers for the year.
With US billionaire Elon Musk's Tesla aiming to bring what it markets as full self-driving to China in the first quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approval, domestic electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers are telling customers that their advanced driver-assistance systems (Adas) - which can navigate highways or busy city streets - are coming very soon, if they are not already here.
Last week, Xiaomi chairman Lei Iun conducted a live-stream test drive of the SU7 EV, going from "parking spot to parking spot".
The feature is inspired by Tesla's Full Self-Driving (FSD) end-toend technology, which uses cameras and large AI models to make real-time driving decisions, rather than relying on engineers to code rules to simulate driving, Mr Lei said.
