The 32nd Annual Meeting of the China Society of Automotive Engineers opened in Chongqing on October 21, 2025. SERES Group Chairman Zhang Xinghai spoke at the opening ceremony, emphasizing that innovation and safety are pivotal in driving product advancement to higher standards. He noted that with transformations in new automotive technologies, user driving experiences will improve, offering new opportunities for the development of Chinese brands at a premium level.
Zhang Xinghai elaborated on the path for the premium development of Chinese smart electric vehicles, stressing that long-termism and technological innovation are key to enhancing product capabilities. SERES’ AITO products have pioneered various technologies through hardware configuration and algorithms. SERES upholds the philosophy of “No Safety, No Intelligence; No Safety, No Electrification; No Safety, No Luxury,” leading the industry with scenario-defined safety to solidify the smart safety system.
Data shows that AITO’s assisted driving mileage has reached approximately 3.8 billion kilometers, preventing over 2 million potential collisions, providing more than 200,000 proactive services, with renewal fees decreasing by 30% overall, and saving users approximately 370,000 hours in repair time. Notably, during the recent National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival, AITO’s mileage exceeded 500 million kilometers, with assisted driving mileage around 200 million kilometers, accounting for 40%. The smart safety system prevented over 40,000 potential collisions for users, reducing accidents by 1/3 compared to the same period last year, with accident rates for vehicles with assisted driving features at 1/5 of those without, and incident rates with enabled assisted driving being 1/6 of those without.
Zhang Xinghai mentioned that the enhancement of AITO’s product capabilities is inseparable from system capability assurance. SERES is constructing the “SERES Industrial Brain” through cross-domain collaboration, integrating “four-side” coordination capabilities of government, society, industry, and enterprises, attracting the “four-chain” integration of innovation, capital, industry, and talent. This spans multi-scenario whole-chain business to build more efficient and precise smart operations, ensuring the quality and safety of AITO products. SERES is rooted in technological innovation with intensive investment in innovation-driven development, focusing deeply on core technologies of electrification and intelligence, and has developed technological innovations such as SERES Smart Safety, the Cube Technology Platform, and Super Range-Extension.
