From humanoid robots to flying cars, Chinese automakers soar into future industries

China Daily  

The logo og GAC Group. BEIJING -- Chinese automakers are rapidly expanding into future industries from humanoid robotics to flying cars, leveraging their technological and supply chain advantages to establish a lead in next-generation technologies. The synergy between intelligent vehicles and humanoid robots regarding underlying software and hardware, supply chain, and production processes is a key reason why many automakers have moved into this new field. Industry experts noted that the technologies used in autonomous driving, sensors, machine vision, and artificial intelligence overlap significantly with those required for humanoid robot development. Future development must be based on this new competitive landscape," said Zhang Yongwei, vice chairman and secretary-general of the China EV 100, an NEV industry think tank.
