ECARX Integrates DriveDreamer World Model into AutoGPT
SHANGHAI, March 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECARX Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ECX) (“ECARX” or the “Company”), a global mobility tech provider, today announced further upgrades to its AutoGPT in-vehicle AI large model application with the integration of GigaAI’s DriveDreamer World Model (“DriveDreamer”). This strategic integration will enhance AutoGPT’s understanding of the surrounding environment and empower automakers to accelerate autonomous driving development cycles, reduce development costs, and deliver hyper-personalized intelligent cockpit experiences.
DriveDreamer advances autonomous driving by expanding virtual simulation capabilities to generate diverse driving scenarios, including rare edge cases, while reducing reliance on physical road testing and improving training efficiency. By automating scenario-specific data generation, DriveDreamer cuts repetitive data collection and analysis, improving algorithm iteration speed and reducing development cycle time.
DriveDreamer will also significantly improve the intelligent cockpit experience by enabling AutoGPT to analyze multiple sensory inputs—including sound, light, temperature, and driver and passenger physical and eye movements—to proactively adjust vehicle settings such as ambient lighting, seat configurations, and climate controls. This will allow global automakers to offer drivers a unique, predictive, and hyper-personalized intelligent cockpit experience.
Ziyu Shen, co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of ECARX, commented, “As the development of AI accelerates, it is critical for us to integrate the best models available to keep automakers at the forefront of the rapidly evolving technological landscape. This showcases how we can help global automakers distinguish themselves in a crowded market with a unique cockpit and driving experience that can be deployed faster and at lower cost.”
