On July 4, the 2024 World Artificial Intelligence Conference and the High-Level Global Governance Conference on Artificial Intelligence, hosted by Shanghai, opened. The theme of this conference is "promoting sharing through consultation and promoting good governance", bringing together top scientists, entrepreneurs, and investors from around the world to discuss the latest developments and future trends in artificial intelligence technology.
At this conference, including new energy vehicle manufacturers such as Tesla, NIO, and JYC, various products and layouts related to artificial intelligence were introduced. The reporters from Caijing.com.cn came to the site of the 2024 WAIC and checked out these automakers.
Tesla: Displaying Optimus, Latest FSD Products Tesla booth attracted a large number of visitors as usual. As a leader in the new energy auto industry, Tesla has brought many star products, including Model Y, humanoid robots, and the latest achievements of FSD (full self-driving capability).
As one of Tesla's best-selling models, Model Y showcased the self-driving technology and intelligent user experience. The second-generation humanoid robot Optimus and Cybertruck (Cyber Off-Road Travel Vehicle) of Tesla were displayed at a major domestic trade show for the first time, attracting the attention of many visitors.
In a public demonstration, Tesla's humanoid robot could smoothly shuttle on the assembly line, quickly and accurately complete the grabbing, classification, and stacking of batteries. During the entire process, robots and human employees worked together to complete a series of complex production tasks.
According to onsite staff, based on the upright walking, the Optimus's walking speed has increased by 30%. Its fingers can be "adept" in lightly holding an egg and heavy lifting.
Tesla's CEO, Elon Musk, said at the June 13 shareholder meeting that Tesla would begin "limited production" of Optimus in 2025 and test biped robots next year at his own factory.
"In fact, the walking robot Optimus has started to work at Tesla's factory in Shanghai, such as the precise alignment of the dashboard." Tesla staff told Caijing reporters that humanoid robots can not only do repetitive tasks, but also simulate scenarios to imagine training data, such as data training in Tesla's ADAS system.
Cybertruck is the world's first car with a 48V low-voltage architecture and also the first production model to use wire-controlled steering, which can achieve more secure and agile steering control completely with electricity. At Tesla's shareholder meeting in mid-June, Musk mentioned that Cybertruck had achieved a production volume record of 1,300 units per week, and the target is to reach 2,500 units per week by the end of this year.
When Tesla's full autonomous driving technology (FSD) will enter China was also a highlight of the conference. According to Tesla's Q1 2024 financial report, its AI training computing power related to autonomous driving has increased by 130%, with millions of vehicles and massive AI training clusters, laying a solid foundation for large-scale autonomous driving.
Tesla's booth at the WAIC once again attracted a lot of visitors. As a leader in the new energy automobile industry, Tesla brought many mega products, including Model Y, humanoid robots and the latest achievements of FSD (full self-driving capability).
NIO: Building AI Infrastructure for Comprehensive Empowerment of Intelligent Travel In contrast to Tesla's style, NIO's exhibition area focused more on its comprehensive layout and ecological construction capabilities in the field of artificial intelligence.
Caijing reporters learned on the site of NIO's exhibition hall that NIO relies on its self-built artificial intelligence infrastructure, self-training NIO private base models and area models, and self-developed artificial intelligence development platform tools to realize artificial intelligence for product, service, community, research and development, and manufacturing. In terms of model landing, NIO laid out the NIOWM (NIO World Model) and NIOLLM (NIO Language Model). In terms of NIO language model, NOMI GPT is a large-scale model tailored for NOMI, including self-developed end-cloud fusion architecture, multimodal perception, cognitive center, emotional engine, and memory capacity.
NIO: Building AI infrastructure, fully empowering intelligent travel.
Different from Tesla's display style, NIO's exhibition area pays more attention to demonstrating its comprehensive layout and ecological construction capability in the field of artificial intelligence.
The Caixin reporter learned at the NIO exhibition hall that NIO empowers products, services, communities, research and development, and manufacturing through artificial intelligence based on NIO's self-built AI infrastructure, self-trained NIO private pedestal large model and vertical domain large model, and self-developed AI development platform tools. In terms of model implementation, NIO layouts NIO space-time large model (NIOWM) and NIO language large model (NIOLLM).

According to the staff on-site at NIO's showroom, the emotion engine installed on the NOMI GPT is the key to achieving human-like interaction. NOMI GPT is not just a cold AI assistant. It can record the topics, people and things that the driver has recently been interested in and remember the preferences of the driver and their family and friends. "By learning the driver's usage habits and preferences, it can constantly optimize its own services."
The on-site staff stated that NIOWM, one of the cores of NIO's intelligent ecology, integrates multidimensional data such as vehicle operations, user behavior, and environmental changes along the timeline to create a comprehensive and dynamic space-time model. "Through this model, NIO can perceive vehicle status, predict user demand, optimize driving routes, and provide users with more personalized and intelligent travel experiences."
"At present, there are no more detailed contents about the NIO Timespace Big Model, and specific application aspects can be compared with the 4D Comfort Navigation function of NIO's ET7 and above models." The on-site staff of NIO stated that the 4D Comfort Navigation function can use the self-developed intelligent suspension system to real-time sense the information transmitted from the chassis such as the suspension, wheels, and car body, and use body dynamics sensors, external lidar, cameras, sensors and other technology to predict road bumps. Based on the distance and type characteristics of road events, the 4D Comfort Navigation function can adjust the suspension height and damping control in advance, achieving more accurate tuning and optimal driving comfort."

Jiyue: The Integration and Innovation of AI Large Model and the Automotive Manufacturing Industry
As a newly participating exhibitor in this exhibition, Jiyue is a high-end intelligent automobile robot brand jointly created by Baidu and Geely Holding Group, focusing on the integration and innovation of AI large model and the automotive manufacturing industry.
Jiyue's appearance at this exhibition includes two AI intelligent pure electric SUV models, Jiyue 01 and AI intelligent pure electric sedan Jiyue 07.
It is reported that due to its fully integrated Baidu AI large model technology capabilities, Jiyue 01 has become one of the first models in the world to achieve AI large model "on-board". The model is equipped with advanced technologies such as Wenxin Yiyuan 4.0, Apollo, Baidu Maps, XiaoDu Ecology, and a pure visual high-level intelligent driving system.
In terms of the intelligent cockpit, the intelligent AI partner SIMO has efficient voice recognition and interaction capabilities. "SIMO not only can accurately understand and execute various voice commands, but also can provide personalized services according to user needs, such as creating travel strategy, creating poetry, and so on, greatly enriching the entertainment and practicality in the car, making the driving process more pleasant and convenient." Jiyue's staff at the exhibition told reporters from CaiLian Press.
In terms of intelligent driving, Jiyue has a solid hardware foundation for stable operation of intelligent driving system, thanks to the standard equipped Qualcomm 8295 chip that provides up to 60TOPS of computing power for the intelligent cockpit.
According to Jiyue's on-site staff, Jiyue PPA intelligent driving system has now covered national highways and overpasses across the country and, after upgrading to version V1.6.0, has covered complex urban roads in more than 300 cities across the country. Jiyue 07 will be launched in the third quarter of this year.
