Zhang Kai, Head of Great Wall Motors’ Intelligent Driving: “The automotive industry is undergoing disruptive innovations based on intelligent driving. In the next decade, if you miss out on intelligent travel tools, you will miss out on an era. As intelligent driving technology gradually evolves, cars will eventually become a form of four wheels + supercomputer.”
Cheng Bo, Dean of the Tsinghua University Suzhou Automotive Research Institute: “Intelligent driving has become the trend of industry transformation. Currently, the whole industry is in a huge transformation period, and the automobile, traffic, and ICT are three trillion-level industries that collide. For car companies, the biggest temptation and driving force for transformation are to find a viable business model for survival. The development of the intelligent driving industry requires simultaneous verification of both technology and business models.”
Hou Jun, COO of Hover Automotive: “Great Wall Motors’ Coffee Smart Driving, which is equipped with full solid-state lidar, has a six-fold redundant, fully-scenario-covered intelligent driving system. By 2022, it will achieve the first L4-level capability of composite scenarios in China. Intelligent driving can achieve a future of freedom in life. This is not only the third space, but also a huge change in our lives.”
