The ASD system introduces 106 new features and upgrades, including navigation assistance, valet parking, advanced lane keeping, and enhanced active safety. It enables free movement from point A to point B, with improvements in forward AEB capabilities to maximize safety response time and minimize impact. The APA automatic parking feature now supports complex parking scenarios, such as perpendicular, parallel, and angled spaces, even under low-light and tight conditions, doubling the success rate.

Additionally, JI YUE introduced a native AI large-model-powered cockpit. SIMO, JI YUE's voice assistant, now integrates Baidu's ERNIE Bot and is rebuilt with a new AI architecture that enhances cloud-end collaboration for perception, understanding, and decision-making capabilities.
