On December 1st, Great Wall Automobile held a live talk entitled “VLA Talk: Great Wall Automobile’s Advancement in Assisted Driving” at its Baoding headquarters. During the event, the first VLA large model-equipped car was revealed—the new WEY Lanshan Intelligent Advanced Edition. This discussion was jointly initiated by Great Wall Automobile’s CTO Wu Huixiao and tech blogger Tim of “Image Hurricane,” showcasing the capabilities of the new generation CP Master Assisted Driving System. Following its launch at the Guangzhou Auto Show, the VLA large model quickly achieved “on-board” status and underwent practical verification.
The CP Master Assisted Driving System equipped on the new WEY Lanshan Intelligent Advanced Edition demonstrated “human-machine co-driving” capabilities during tests. Through scene understanding, risk reasoning, and defensive driving strategies, the VLA large model delivers a new-generation CP Master Assisted Driving System capable of “hearing, seeing, and thinking.” Great Wall Automobile has become the first major manufacturer outside the new entrants to achieve mass production and on-vehicle implementation of the VLA large model. In demonstrating the real capabilities of the CP Master Assisted Driving System, Great Wall Automobile’s CTO Wu Huixiao and tech blogger Tim conducted a live test through Baoding’s old and new districts before their discussion, showcasing the CP Master’s performance in real-life scenarios.
The CP Master system supports natural language conversation, allowing users to control assisted driving behaviors via voice commands. Its “defensive driving” feature, based on the VLA large model’s spatial semantic understanding capabilities, can infer risks that might occur in the next few seconds. The central control screen refreshes with visual CoT (Chain of Thought) cards in real-time, displaying the entire process of perception, reasoning, decision-making, and execution behind each acceleration, deceleration, or steering action.
