Chery Automobile is dispatching employees to the United States to evaluate Tesla’s Full-Self Driving system, which incorporates Grok artificial intelligence assistant, and to identify gaps compared to the company’s current smart cockpit and driving features. The goal is to catch up quickly, according to the company’s chairman.
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing how humans interact with technology, serving as the key driver behind new forms of intelligence, stated Yin Tongyue at Chery’s AI Night event on January 17. He emphasized that AI will fundamentally reshape all industries, especially automotive manufacturing. The company is committed to integrating AI thoroughly, using vehicles as the foundation to expand AI’s reach into the physical world.
During the event titled “Technology With AI,” Chery unveiled its comprehensive AI technology strategy, highlighting flagship developments such as the super AI assistant Xiaoqi Tongxue, Falcon Intelligent Driving, Lingxi Cockpit, and Mojia Robot.
The Falcon Intelligent Driving system is advancing, with plans to deploy it on over 35 models this year to speed up the adoption of advanced autonomous driving features.
Despite significant progress, Yin pointed out three major hurdles that the rapid development of AI and its integration with the auto industry currently face. The first is safety—since vehicles directly impact human lives, safety remains the primary hurdle to overcome. The second is legal and ethical considerations, particularly how to establish an AI governance framework aligned with human values. The third involves quality management; a new approach is needed to ensure AI systems remain stable, reliable, and traceable throughout their lifecycle.
Yin also highlighted that the backbone of AI computing power relies heavily on high-performance chips and energy resources. As global computing capacity grows rapidly, China will face increasing demands for energy and chip infrastructure.
To address this, Chery has launched a chip research institute and a green energy company, and is involved in emerging energy technologies aimed at developing AI chips and powering computing networks. Yin expressed hope that humanity will evolve from a focus on travel freedom to seeking energy and computational independence.
