When asked whether "going all in on AI implies overlooking the automotive sector," Li Xiang, the CEO of Li Auto, clarified in a post that embodied intelligence necessitates outstanding vehicles as a foundation to generate user value. He emphasized that he still allocates 70% of his time to the automotive domain, striving to propel cars' transformation into bona fide robots. He disclosed that the soon-to-be-launched, entirely revamped Li L9 will harness a comprehensive technology suite to metamorphose vehicles from mere passive instruments into proactive companions. As Li Auto steps into its second decade in 2026, the brand-new Li L9 is set to be not just a top-tier vehicle but also the inaugural masterpiece of embodied intelligent robots—a vision Li Auto has been nurturing for a decade. Furthermore, Li Xiang took stock of Li Auto's advancements in automotive intelligence since its inception in 2015.
