Foreign automakers are forming strategic partnerships with Chinese technology companies to integrate advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing into their vehicles. Toyota has teamed up with Tencent to develop intelligent driving solutions, while Nissan is collaborating with Baidu on AI and smart car technologies. These alliances are driven by the need to compete with Chinese automakers who are focusing on electric vehicles and high-tech features. The shift in market dynamics is evident as Chinese brands are increasingly capturing market share from foreign brands in China's vast auto market. Industry experts believe that the acceptance of intelligent technologies among Chinese consumers and the innovative supply chains established in China are contributing to this trend. At the 2024 Auto China, the prominence of AI in vehicles was clear, with companies like Xpeng and the Baidu-Geely joint venture Jidu showcasing smart operating systems and AI-powered features in their latest models.
