Yang Xuguang, a pivotal figure from the founding team of Huawei ADS, has officially joined Ideal Auto. As a linchpin in Huawei's early autonomous driving research and development endeavors, Yang played a leading role in transforming the neural networking architecture of Huawei ADS's prediction module. This milestone laid a solid groundwork for the iterative evolution of Huawei's intelligent driving technology.

At present, Ideal Auto is intensifying its in-house research and development initiatives within the intelligent driving and chip sectors. Its chip subsidiary, Maxieen Technology, has successfully secured its initial round of equity financing, amassing a substantial 1.625 billion yuan. Furthermore, Maxieen Technology has unveiled its strategic roadmap for intelligent driving upgrades, with plans to launch the Maxieen VLA within the current year and aspire towards the deployment of a sophisticated high-level intelligent driving large model.

Given Yang Xuguang's extensive expertise in the development of prediction modules and end-to-end large models, his arrival is anticipated to significantly bolster the environmental prediction capabilities of the Maxieen VLA large model. Moreover, his presence is expected to bridge critical gaps within Ideal Auto's intelligent driving technology ecosystem.
