ZEEKR's New Breakthrough: Redefining Smart Driving Standards?

On March 18, 2025, ZEEKR officially unveiled the Qianli Haohan Intelligent Driving System in Hangzhou, redefining the advanced intelligent driving standard with three technological breakthroughs: G-AES universal obstacle continuous automatic avoidance function, the industry’s first full-featured Door-to-Door (D2D) system, and L3-level intelligent driving technology architecture.

Technological Breakthroughs: Comprehensive Safety and Scenario Coverage

– G-AES Function: World-first continuous avoidance technology supports identification of irregular obstacles (such as triangular warning signs and yaks) over 40 cm wide and 60 cm high at speeds up to 130 km/h, achieving emergency braking + circumnavigation or continuous avoidance strategy. Scheduled for June 2025 release.

– Full-featured D2D: Encompasses an all-scenario intelligent driving system with “Anywhere Nationwide, Park if There’s Space,” supporting mechanical parking, mapless cross-layer positioning, and AI terminal navigation. Nationwide mapless NZP deployment by the end of 2024.

– L3 Architecture: Equipped with 5 LiDARs (1 long-range + 4 blind-spot coverage), dual NVIDIA Thor chips (1,400 TOPS computing power) for four-way 360° sensor redundancy, paving the way for highway/city L3-level intelligent driving.

Underlying Hard Strength: Leading in Compute Power and Data Ecosystem

– Compute Power Scale: Callable compute power reaches 23.5 EFLOPS (first among Chinese automakers), supporting rapid iteration of intelligent driving models.

– Data Ecosystem: Leveraging Geely’s fleet of 7.5 million L2+ vehicles with 200 million kilometers of daily data, leading the industry in training sample volume.

– End-to-end Plus Technology: Integrating perception-planning-decision-making processes, increasing traffic efficiency by 11% and reducing accident risk by 15%.

Future Layout and Ecosystem Collaboration

ZEEKR collaborates with Hangzhou’s “Six Little Dragons” (including Unitree Robotics, DeepSeek, etc.) to showcase AI + manufacturing integration achievements, introducing the “JiZhiChong” unmanned valet charging service, and previewing its flagship model ZEEKR 9X Radiance, set to debut with the H9 package at the Shanghai Auto Show.

This launch signifies China’s shift from function accumulation to “scenario closure” competition in intelligent driving, as ZEEKR leverages technological strength and ecosystem collaboration to position advanced intelligent driving as a consumer necessity.
