This is the first time that the two sides have announced the progress of cooperation since Didi autopilot and Guangzhou Auto EA signed strategic cooperation in 2021. According to the AIDI plan, Didi self-driving and GAC Ean will set up a joint venture to give full play to their respective industrial and technological advantages, deeply explore product innovation and application innovation in the field of intelligent vehicles, jointly define and mass produce shared travel L4 self-driving new energy vehicles, and promote the ecological construction of self-driving travel at full speed. The AIDI plan implies the complementarity of GAC Eian Intelligence (AION Intelligence) and Didi Autopilot Intelligence (DiDi Intelligence) technology, and the integration of artificial Intelligence (Artificial Intelligence) and driving Intelligence (Driver Intelligence).

The first mass production model will be based on Guangzhou Auto EA AEP3.0 high-end pure electric exclusive platform, Xingling high-end electronic and electrical architecture and industry-leading multi-fusion sensing self-driving mass production technology, equipped with Didi self-driving L4 urban generalization engine and unique self-driving technology solution for travel service. Combined with Didi's self-driving unmanned operating system Huijiangang and the experience in the field of travel, the two sides jointly create a safe, reliable, comfortable and low-cost self-driving new energy vehicle based on the real needs of users.

This volume car will be connected to the Didi shared travel network in 2025 to achieve all-weather, large-scale mixed order dispatch and accelerate the landing of L4 commercialization. The joint venture company will also carry out results application cooperation with DiDi and GAC GROUP's investment enterprises to jointly accelerate the progress of the industry.

DiDi CTO and Didi autopilot CEO Zhang Bo said, "DiDi is committed to promoting traffic change in the future, and always regards autopilot as a key development plate for the future." Since the beginning of this year, Didi autopilot has continuously made breakthroughs in the field of unmanned technology and commercialization. With the opening of the AIDI program, mass production has also ushered in a new milestone, Didi autopilot development has entered a new stage. GAC Ean has an advanced pure electric platform and highly reliable intelligent driving redundancy kit, which can fully empower a new generation of self-driving mass-produced cars, making them significantly competitive in terms of safety, experience and efficiency, and provide users with better self-driving travel services. accelerate the commercial landing of self-driving technology. "

Gu Huinan, general manager of Guangzhou Automobile Ean, said, "self-driving has an inherent advantage in certain scenes such as shared travel, which is the direction of future development and is rapidly promoting changes in the field of smart cars." Ian is committed to becoming a world-class high-end intelligent electric vehicle brand, bringing smarter companionship for users. As the first batch of domestic car companies to enter the field of self-driving research, they have a deep accumulation in smart driving. Didi's deep insight and technological advantages in the field of shared travel network and self-driving will help us embrace new technologies and models and speed up the ecological layout of intelligent travel. Since the signing of the strategic cooperation, the two teams have conducted many rounds of in-depth communication on the definition and technical route of mass production vehicles. The AIDI plan will be the key for us to seize the development opportunities of the smart car industry. We expect both sides to give full play to their own advantages and become the main leader in the development of the smart car industry. "
