ECARX Holdings Inc. announced that it has strengthened its partnership with Tencent Smart Transportation, to jointly develop intelligent driving and cockpit solutions. This enhanced strategic partnership will seamlessly integrate ECARX's cutting-edge automotive intelligence solutions with Tencent's robust suite of technologies and services in big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, mapping services, and infotainment ecosystems. Significantly enhancing the existing partnership formed back in 2019, both parties will initially focus on improving the intelligent driving experience and cockpit by integrating Tencent?s fully cloud-based ?lightweight? maps and broader ecosystem of apps and services.

In tandem, ECARX and Tencent will develop a sophisticated platform to train and operate automotive intelligence large language models (LLM) to drive the evolution of intelligent cockpits for a broader range of automakers globally.
