Beijing (Gasgoo)- On November 15, Changan Automobile showcased its latest advancements in intelligent technologies at the Auto Guangzhou 2024, unveiling key developments and ambitious roadmap for flying cars and humanoid robots.  

The automaker announced plans to invest over 50 billion yuan within five years. By 2026, Changan aims to launch its flying car, followed by a humanoid robot by 2027, accelerating its transformation into a smart, low-carbon mobility technology company.  

Changan Automobile has already made strides in its "intelligent automotive robot" vision, debuting the Changan NEVO E07, the first production vehicle with full AI-defined capabilities. The model features an evolutionary intelligent system—spanning cognitive, physical, and service intelligence—and offers adaptability in form, functionality, and software.  

In autonomous driving sector, Changan introduced the Tianshu AI large model-powered smart driving system. The system integrates advanced capabilities with AI-driven interactive features, achieving innovations like parking and repositioning assistance. High-level smart driving systems in Changan's future models will feature computing power exceeding 500 TOPS, setting the stage for leadership in the segment by 2027.  

Looking ahead, Changan plans to invest a total of 250 billion yuan during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period (2026-2030), with an expanded R&D team of 10,000 experts to bolster its leadership in smart mobility technologies.
