As a leader in automotive intelligence, the company continues to push the boundaries of autonomous driving technology and bring innovations to large-scale production. In March 2024, the company introduced the company Intelligent Driving’s parking master function, pioneering automated parking in mechanical parking spaces—one of the most challenging parking scenarios in the industry. By the end of 2024, this feature has been rolled out to all users nationwide. The company also achieved automated parking in ultra-narrow spaces (vehicle width ± 40 cm) and mass-produced industry-leading functions such as parking in unmarked spaces, remote parking assist (RPA), dead-end parking, and seamless gear shifting, fully addressing last-meter parking challenges and enabling hands-free, foot-free parking convenience. In August 2024, the company Intelligent Driving 2.0 was launched, marking the company's entry into the AI large-model era. The company also introduced the 720-degree Active Safety System, fully transitioning to in-house-developed active safety solutions while significantly enhancing performance and scenario coverage. The AEB system now supports emergency braking at speeds of up to 120 km/h for stationary vehicles and has been upgraded to G-AEB, enabling braking for general obstacles. Additional safety features tailored to real-world usage include PEB (pedestrian emergency braking), wheel hub scratch prevention, and unintended acceleration protection. In November 2024, the company unveiled the company’s next-generation end-to-end Plus digital predictive network architecture, enabling rapid iteration and continuous advancements for the company Intelligent Driving 2.0. At the same time, the company initiated a large-scale user test for map-free urban NZP, with nationwide deployment realized at the end of 2024. This will enable truly unrestricted navigation-based autonomous driving, making it possible to drive anywhere with road and navigation support. The company is a fast-growing battery electric vehicle (BEV) technology company developing and offering next-generation premium BEVs and technology-driven solutions to lead the electrification, intelligentization, and innovation of the automobile industry.

Capitalizing on the company's in-house R&D capabilities and strategic partnerships with third parties, the company has continued to upgrade AD, the autonomous driving technologies on the company's battery electric vehicles (BEVs), since the company's inception. Autonomous driving technologies are subject to risks, and there have been accidents associated with such technologies from time to time. Although the company attempts to remedy any issues observed in its BEVs as effectively and rapidly as possible, such efforts may not be timely, may hamper production, or may not be to the satisfaction of the company's customers. Moreover, autonomous driving technology is still evolving and has yet to achieve wide market acceptance. The safety of autonomous driving technologies depends in part on driver interaction, and drivers may not be accustomed to using such technologies. To the extent accidents associated with the company's BEVs’ autonomous driving systems occur, the company could be subject to liability and government scrutiny, and further regulation. Furthermore, accidents or defects caused by third parties’ autonomous driving technology may negatively affect public perception of the company's autonomous driving technologies or result in regulatory restrictions with respect to autonomous driving technology. The company's autonomous driving technologies may be affected by regulatory restrictions. For example, the company's research and development activities on autonomous driving are subject to regulatory restrictions on surveying and mapping, as well as driverless road testing.
