Wang Kai noted that chips require large-scale market validation for recognition. SiEngine's automotive-grade chips are verified in over 1 million vehicles, matching advanced international products in performance. The company built an ecosystem covering passenger cars, Tier 1 suppliers, robotics, and drones.
SiEngine developed a full range of chips for smart cockpits, autonomous driving, and AI acceleration. Its cockpit chips span from lightweight to flagship models, while autonomous driving chips support city NOA and advanced intelligent driving. SiEngine integrated with leading domestic robotics companies.
Wang Kai highlighted the Dragon Eagle No. 2, a 5-nanometer automotive-grade chip. It supports high-end smart cockpits and enables cabin-driving fusion, offering options from entry-level to premium. SiEngine built the Ark Computing Platform, integrating operating systems, middleware, algorithms, and supply chains to help automakers and edge-intelligence enterprises accelerate deployment.
Wang Kai said SiEngine's chips power mainstream models from major global automakers, with sales in Brazil, India, and Europe. Domestic chips must support Chinese automakers overseas and gain validation from international players to bolster the global competitiveness of Chinese vehicles.
Wang Kai said SiEngine aims to serve as a core engine for China's automotive industry and edge-side intelligence advancement.
