Chinese automakers including XPENG, Geely and Leapmotor are bringing technology originally developed for their own vehicles into partnerships with other automakers. From vehicle architectures to software and driver assistance systems, these partnerships are giving Chinese carmakers a second role: providing technology for vehicles they don't build themselves.
In this episode of Tina's Talk, Xiaoying (Tina) Zhou, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of Gasgoo, examines how competition in China's smart EV market helped automakers develop, test and refine these technologies quickly. She explores the challenge ahead: turning systems designed for their own vehicles into products that other automakers can adapt and use across different models and markets.
