Chinese language automaker GAC hosted GAC Know-how Day 2024 with the theme “Know-how Imaginative and prescient” in Guangzhou on April 12. The technology-focused occasion featured the primary domestically developed image-based autonomous driving resolution, the García Clever Driving System, and a “high-safety, high-capacity” solid-state battery.

The García Clever Driving System is a nationally developed image-based autonomous driving resolution that eliminates the necessity for high-precision maps and depends much less on LiDAR. It combines visible sensors with synthetic intelligence algorithms to offer customers with a complete driving expertise in all eventualities. The system is claimed to excel in advanced visitors conditions, visitors signal recognition, dealing with dynamic eventualities, and making exact real-time driving actions and selections. This expertise is just like what Tesla is growing in its FSD autonomous driving program. GAC plans to deploy the Garcia system for mass manufacturing in 2026. Earlier this month it was introduced that GAC Aion partnered with Didi to construct robotaxis. Moreover, it was reported final month that BYD, Xpeng and GAC Aion would use Nvidia chips as a part of their autonomous driving expertise stack.
Along with sensible driving, GAC confirmed its “breakthrough” in solid-state batteries. GAC reported that its self-developed solid-state battery “made vital advances in power density, security and manufacturing expertise. “With the utilization of third-generation spongy silicon destructive electrode plate expertise and high-capacity solid-state constructive electrode expertise, GAC Aion efficiently improved the power density of the battery.” Strong-state batteries supply the potential to beat the restrictions of conventional liquid electrolyte batteries and have grow to be a focus within the international electrical battery competitors.

The growth of solid-state batteries is essential to the way forward for electrical autos and GAC goals to totally implement this expertise by 2026. With larger power density, these batteries can present longer driving ranges and shorter charging occasions, which which makes electrical autos extra sensible and handy for every day use. Strong-state batteries supply better security as they’re much less prone to overheat and scale back the danger of fireside or explosion than conventional lithium-ion batteries.
