Alibaba's Qwen AI Powers Voice Commands in New Cars
At the Beijing Auto Show 2026, Alibaba revealed that its Qwen AI model will be integrated into vehicles from brands like BYD and Volkswagen's local joint venture. The system allows drivers to perform tasks such as ordering food, booking hotels, and purchasing tickets using only voice commands. Functioning on Nvidia's automotive chip, the technology maintains usability even with poor network connectivity. Several Chinese automakers, including Geely and Li Auto, are expected to adopt this technology to compete in the EV sector. Additionally, Audi showcased its E7X SUV featuring AI capabilities from ByteDance and iFlyTek.
