The 2024 Beijing Auto Show opens with GAC Group hosting a tech conference to launch the “Smart Drive 2027” action plan, aiming to enhance existing smart advantages through upgraded smart driving, cabins, and smart travel scenarios for a leading product and travel experience.
The plan will solidify the three major technical foundations of “GAC AI Big Model Platform,” “GAC Xingling Electronic Electrical Architecture,” and “GAC Internet of Vehicles Big Data Platform” over a period of three years to promote the rapid optimization of intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, significantly improving user product experience.
In terms of intelligent driving, GAC Group’s L2++ level NDA function based on “multi-sensor fusion” technology has been installed on the Hao Bo model, with plans to achieve nationwide coverage by 2024. The map-free pure visual intelligent driving system is planned to be installed on vehicles by 2026. As one of the first batch of domestic L3 autonomous driving application vehicle companies, GAC’s L3 autonomous driving is currently undergoing continuous testing in Guangzhou, with mass production expected next year. The more widely used L3+ autonomous driving will be mass-produced in 2026, and GAC will launch user-oriented L4 autonomous driving in 2027.
In terms of intelligent cockpit, GAC Group will mass produce “GAC End-Cloud Integrated Large Model Intelligent Body”, giving the cockpit dual brains of vehicle and cloud. By 2025, GAC’s in-car space interaction system will break through screen limitations and achieve virtual reality mixed interaction. In 2026, GAC Group will establish a complete operation system covering lifestyle entertainment, car-home interconnection, and health services. By 2027, achieve intelligent cockpit full-scene, fully intelligent proactive emotional interaction, leading comprehensively in product experience.
In the field of shared mobility, GAC Group’s Qie Travel has successively launched the first domestic open Robotaxi autonomous taxi operation technology platform and Robotaxi operation vehicle management system. Currently, Qie Travel has started commercial operation of L4 Robotaxi. An Di Technology, a joint venture between GAC and Didi, will also launch the first commercial L4 autonomous driving model in 2025. In terms of group travel, Qieji Automobile, an enterprise incubated by GAC, will mass produce the first intelligent medium-sized passenger car Robobus with L4 function by the end of this year.
In addition, GAC Group plans to launch a flying car demonstration operation plan by 2027. By 2027, GAC Group will provide comprehensive smart travel services. GAC is also collaborating deeply with giants such as Huawei in shaping the new ecosystem of travel and intelligent connected services. GAC is cooperating with technology companies such as NVIDIA to mass produce the next generation of L4 autonomous driving vehicles with higher computing power by 2025.
