Xpeng, Xiaomi Lead In-Car AI Push at Beijing Auto Show

Gate News message, April 24 — Chinese automakers showcased advanced in-car AI systems at the Beijing Auto Show on April 24, as the country accelerates its AI Plus strategy and seeks greater independence from foreign semiconductors.

Xpeng demonstrated voice-controlled parking that allows drivers to issue spoken commands instead of manually selecting locations. Xiaomi upgraded its car operating system with AI capabilities for tasks including reservations and note-taking. Huawei announced plans to invest more than $10 billion in smart driving technology, while Horizon Robotics unveiled a processor combining cockpit and autonomous driving functions.

Xpeng’s in-house Turing chip reportedly delivers three times the processing power of Nvidia’s Orin processors currently deployed in its vehicles. The push reflects intensifying U.S. export controls on advanced AI chips and China’s efforts to develop domestic semiconductor alternatives, driving efficiency gains across the industry.
