Deepal Automotive has teased a new product release, accompanied by the slogan 'AI has warmth, travel understands you better.' Official promotional materials show a square-shaped device, suggesting the upcoming launch is an in-car AI assistant.

The market for in-car AI assistants is expanding. ByteDance's Volcano Engine recently launched the Doubao cockpit assistant, which allows users to remotely control vehicles, check status, and sync trip information via the Doubao app.

Zeekr has listed its Eva robot on JD.com for ¥799. The device is compatible with models including the Zeekr 001, 8X, 9X, and 7X. It features active tracking, smart steering, and an AMOLED display with adaptive brightness control.

Nio pioneered this segment in 2017 with the introduction of NOMI. The system uses a rotating circular screen on the dashboard to provide voice control, emotional feedback, and multimodal interaction as part of the Nio smart cockpit.
