Li Xiang: Automobile will become the biggest application scenario for AI to land in the form of robots – Passionategeekz –

[CNMO Technology News]At a time when artificial intelligence is accelerating its penetration into the physical world, Li Xiang, founder of Ideal Auto, recently pointed out: “In the next 5-10 years, automobiles will become the largest application scenario for artificial intelligence to be implemented in the form of robots.” This judgment reflects his profound insight into industry trends and also echoes the actual needs of the development of global autonomous driving technology.

According to Passionategeekz, Li Xiang first proposed in the previous “2024 Ideal AI Talk” event that cars will evolve from transportation in the industrial era to “space robots in the AI ​​era”. He emphasized that cars are the most basic robots. If L4 level autonomous driving cannot be achieved, other complex artificial intelligence robot applications will be difficult to implement.

Li Xiang further divided the development path of Ideal Auto into three stages: the enhanced capability stage (AI as an auxiliary tool, such as L3 autonomous driving), the intelligent stage (AI independently completes complex tasks, such as L4 autonomous driving), and the silicon-based family stage (AI becomes the core organizer of the family and continues user memory). The “VLA model” he envisions, a polymorphic model combining vision, language and action, will become a key technology to achieve this goal.

It is reported that in order to realize this vision, Ideal Auto has invested a lot of resources to deploy in the field of artificial intelligence. Public information shows that nearly half of Ideal’s annual R&D investment is used in AI, covering intelligent driving, Ideal (AI assistant), intelligent business and industrial teams. Li Xiang revealed that Ideal will expand from car computers to mobile phones to strengthen user connections.

It is worth noting that Li Xiang also warned about operating system security. He pointed out that if China’s autonomous driving industry relies on “non-domestic operating systems with backdoors”, it will be accompanied by systemic security risks. Li Xiang believes that autonomous driving should run on a completely domestic operating system.
