Artificial intelligence has become one of the most talked-about topics in recent years, offering us a range of exciting and innovative experiences. It hasn't failed to impress. But what exactly is artificial intelligence? Let’s explore this concept with the help of our car electronics editor.

At its core, artificial intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science that aims to understand the nature of intelligence and develop machines capable of responding in ways similar to human intelligence. This field includes research in robotics, speech recognition, image processing, natural language understanding, and expert systems. One of the most promising applications of AI is in autonomous driving. With major automotive companies investing heavily in self-driving technology, the intersection of AI and auto tech is creating fascinating possibilities.

On July 20th, during the Lenovo 2017 Global Technology Innovation Conference, Weilai Auto and Lenovo announced a strategic partnership to jointly develop a smart car computing platform. Notably, Lenovo Chairman and CEO Yang Yuanqing placed an order for the first mass-produced SUV from Cels Auto, becoming its 100th owner. This collaboration marks a significant step forward in the integration of AI and automotive innovation.

Lenovo and Weilai Auto are working together to create a smarter future for driving.

Li Bin, founder and chairman of Weilai Auto, emphasized that through AI, electric vehicles will offer an experience that surpasses traditional cars. He envisions future vehicles as mobile living spaces that can improve urban efficiency and reduce environmental impact. According to Li, by implementing AI-driven solutions, Weilai Auto could cut daily carbon emissions by up to 16 million tons. By 2025, fully autonomous driving could free up 100% of the time inside a vehicle, while the next model planned for mass production will allow drivers to save 50% of their time under Chinese road conditions.

Lenovo and Weilai Auto are shaping the future of intelligent driving.

During the 2017 Lenovo Global Technology Innovation Conference, Lenovo Group also announced the establishment of a new AI Innovation Center in Beijing, Morrisville, and Stuttgart. This strategic move strengthens Lenovo's position in the smart car industry. Yang Yuanqing, CEO of Lenovo, stated that while the company is well-known as a PC leader, it now aims to be a driver of AI transformation. “We’re not just focusing on changing ourselves; we want to bring AI benefits to consumers through our products,” he added.

This collaboration between Lenovo and Weilai Auto highlights how AI is reshaping the automotive landscape. As both companies continue to innovate, we can expect more groundbreaking developments in the coming years.
