At the conference, Robin Li, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Baidu, and Li Shufu, Chairman of Geely Holding, interacted with Geely's new intelligent SUV—the Boyue PRO. The new model is outfitted with Baidu's AI system and Geely's GKUI19 Smart Ecosystem, which endow the vehicle with a “super brain” and the abilities to connect people and homes as a highly interacted mobile terminal, said Geely Holding.

Geely Auto will start using the Baidu AI-powered GKUI19 system throughout its entire product lineup in the future.

Geely Holding has been adding fuel to the transition from being a pure automaker to a mobility service provider. It launched the GKUI Smart Ecosystem in March 2018, which has rapidly grown to having over 1 million users. Geely said the GKUI is the fastest-growing and the most actively used in-car connectivity system.

Baidu is fortifying its offensive in smart vehicle and AI fields. The tech company officially released its Apollo autonomous driving platform in 2017. To date, a total of 156 partners, covering the world-leading OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and mobility service providers, have joined Apollo's circle of friends.

Currently, there are two editions derived from Apollo—an open source platform and the Apollo Enterprise Edition. The Apollo open source platform has so far issued 7 versions, gathering over 15,000 developers worldwide, while the Apollo Enterprise aims to provide intelligent transportation, smart car, mass production, customization, and security solutions for OEMs, as well as for cities.
