Chinese EV makers steer global auto innovation

Chinese automakers are emerging as some of the most influential forces reshaping the future of mobility.

At CES this year, Geely Auto Group took center stage by unveiling two major technological upgrades: Full-Domain AI 2.0, its next-generation vehicle intelligence architecture, and G-ASD (Geely Afari Smart Driving), a newly launched intelligent driving system aimed at accelerating the transition toward high-level autonomous driving.

"Geely has evolved from a high-end manufacturing company into a globally oriented automotive technology enterprise driven by intelligent technologies," said Jerry Gan, chief executive officer of Geely Auto Group.

Full-Domain AI 2.0 represents a decisive shift away from fragmented, module-based intelligence toward a unified, vehicle-wide AI architecture. By deeply integrating computing power, data and large models at the vehicle level, Geely has built a central intelligent engine, which is described internally as a "super AI brain" capable of coordinating the cockpit, chassis, safety and driving domains in real time.

"AI is reshaping the automotive industry in many ways, from powertrains and components to a systematic reconstruction of mobility ecosystems and lifestyles," Gan said. "Geely is committed to creating safe, sustainable and intelligent mobility for the world."

G-ASD, Geely's next-generation intelligent driving system, combines AI algorithms, large-scale real-world driving data, and high-performance sensing and computing hardware to improve safety and confidence in complex traffic environments. According to Li Chuanhai, vice-president of Geely Auto Group and head of the Geely Research Institute, such systems point to a fundamental redefinition of the automobile itself.
