Last year, SAIC Motor started piloting the sharing of automobile data with users to improve the user experience of IM Motors, an electric vehicle brand jointly founded by SAIC Motor, Zhangjiang Hi-Tech, and Alibaba Group

Moreover, SAIC Motor is making every effort to tackle the serialized 'three-core system' with long endurance, multiple energy gradients, and multiple drive systems. By the end of the year, the company's new-generation electric battery system will be put into operation with improved safety, fast charging, and energy conversion efficiency.

Aiming at the next generation of electric smart cars where 'data determines experience and software defines cars', SAIC Motor will focus on user experience innovation and promote changes in product design and business models. At present, SAIC Motor is the first in China auto industry to conduct a comprehensive layout of the five centers of software development, big data, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and cyber security, and initially establish the technical capabilities for intelligent cars. In the future, SAIC Motor will strengthen its independent control of the 'brain and soul' of smart cars such as SOA software platform and centralized electronic architecture through self-research of core software across the domain. It is planned to achieve mass production of L4 autonomous driving technology in 2025 and become the leading intelligent driving enterprise in China.

Technological evolutions have not only broken the industrial boundaries, but also promoted auto companies to expand new circles of friends and reshape the industrial ecology. The ecological circle of friends that integrates industry and finance will become SAIC Motor's strongest 'resource'.
