On April 15th, Voyah Automotive and Baidu signed a strategic cooperation agreement to deepen cooperation in the field of automobile intelligence.
Voyah Automotive CEO and CTO Lu Fang and Baidu Intelligent Driving Business Vice President and Baidu Intelligent Traffic Business General Manager Wu Shulin completed the signing ceremony in Wuhan.
Compared with other new car manufacturers, Voyah Automotive, backed by Dongfeng Group, has innate resource advantages in vehicle technology, but its performance in automobile intelligence still lags behind that of new forces.
On the other hand, Baidu Apollo, which began research and development in autonomous driving in 2013, has become the world’s most active open platform for autonomous driving. Baidu Apollo, relying on advantages in autonomous driving technology, AI capabilities, and internet genes, exhibits excellent autonomous driving capabilities. ANP, a one-stop intelligent driving solution derived from autonomous driving technology reserves, and core products such as the service cockpit’s Xiaodu voice assistant and human-machine co-driving map are leading in the industry.
According to the strategic cooperation agreement, the two parties will carry out priority cooperation in the fields of intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, intelligent driving simulation cloud, automobile safety, and intelligent map, fully leveraging the technical advantages of both parties in vehicle technology and intelligent technology to promote the upward development of Chinese automobile brands.
Voyah Automotive CEO and CTO Lu Fang said:
“As a user-oriented technology enterprise, Voyah Automotive is committed to satisfying people’s desire for a good and intelligent travel life through technological innovation and user co-creation. With an open and cooperative attitude that we share with Baidu, we will form complementary advantages and share resources and jointly invest.”
Baidu Intelligent Driving Business Vice President and Baidu Intelligent Traffic Business General Manager Wu Shulin said:
“Through R&D and joint construction, Voyah and Baidu will integrate the user thinking experience of the Internet into the product and operation, and bring the rigorous thinking of the whole vehicle manufacturer into design and development. This new cooperation model will bring an impact on existing thinking, exercise new thinking, catalyze new things, achieve the common growth of both parties, and create an innovative cooperation sample of China’s intelligent automobile industry.”
In addition, the two parties also stated that in addition to fusion cooperation in intelligent driving and cabin intelligence, they will also explore synergistic cooperation in brand cooperation, ecological sharing, and joint operation.
