On April 11-12, the High-Level Forum on Intelligent Electric Vehicle Development (2026), themed "Intelligent, Green, Integrated, and International," focused deeply on global industry trends, frontier technologies such as AI+automotive, and chip computing power. Through cross-sector exchange, the forum aims to clarify industry strategies, establish a healthy and orderly policy and market system, strengthen global collaboration, and drive China's new energy vehicles to steady and long-term progress during the critical window of high-quality development. He Liyang, President of SERES Automobile At this forum, He Liyang, President of SERES Automobile, delivered a speech titled "Innovation-Driven Premium Mobility," systematically outlining the five-year development trajectory and core competitive logic of the AITO brand. He noted that AITO started from cross-sector collaboration, built on the foundation of intelligent-electric integration, evolved through software-defined vehicles, and is now fully advancing into a new stage of AI empowerment and AI-defined vehicles. Facing the premium market, AITO redefines the essence of premium mobility with five key standards—"high safety, high reliability, high performance, high quality, and high value"—and builds its core competitiveness through four major innovations: cross-sector collaboration—
Leveraging complementary strengths, AI empowering products and management across the board, high-end manufacturing supporting full-lifecycle services, and smart services running through the entire user experience chain. Currently, AITO has surpassed one million cumulative users, with pure electric driving mileage accounting for over 70%, and the active user rate for assisted driving reaching as high as 97.5%.
Meanwhile, He Liyang substantiated the practical value of intelligence with a set of safety data: over the past 30 days, the frequency of AITO eCall accidents per million kilometers was only 0.13 times, a year-on-year decrease of 55.2%; under assisted driving conditions, the accident frequency per million kilometers dropped even further to 0.07 times, a year-on-year decrease of 56.3%. Over the past five years, cumulative OTA upgrades have exceeded 9.41 million vehicle-times, keeping users' cars "fresh with every use." Looking ahead, SERES will continue to increase R&D investment, without prioritizing short-term profitability, and with the upcoming launch of the AITO M6 (parameters|inquiry) as a milestone, build a complete family matrix from M5 to M9, driving continuous evolution toward L4-level autonomous driving and exploring new possibilities for integrating embodied intelligence with premium mobility.
The following is the edited transcript of the speech: Good afternoon, everyone! I am truly honored to be invited by the forum to share and report here on SERES Automobile, focusing on the development of AITO vehicles. The theme of my presentation is "Innovation-Driven High-
Mobility solutions."
We believe the automotive industry is the best vehicle for developing new quality productive forces, especially in the transition from electrification and intelligence to the scale of the automotive industry itself, which embodies the culmination of technologies across various sectors. At the same time, it drives technological progress, industrial advancement, and the integration of technology with industry. From an industrial practice perspective, over the past five years with AITO, we have initiated cross-industry collaboration, built on the foundation of intelligent-electric integration, guided by software-defined vehicles, and ultimately moved toward AI empowerment and AI-defined vehicles, creating a brand-new industrial chain.
Meanwhile, in our vehicle evolution roadmap, we continuously innovate, integrate, and accumulate, and on the basis of the industry brain and super factory we have built, we have pioneered new intelligent services, providing users with full-lifecycle product services.
As everyone knows, in the past period, how to create high-end products has been a key focus for everyone's development. We believe that to build high-end products for future high-end mobility, we define the new essence of high-end mobility with a brand-new "Five Highs" standard. For example, the AITO M9 is built on high safety, high reliability, high performance, high quality, and high value as the foundation of this product, including the entire AITO product lineup. We believe that in the automotive development process, technology evolves and iterates very rapidly, and how to continuously
Adopting new technologies while meeting the needs of existing users—how to balance rapid iteration with quality, craftsmanship, and the experience of both new and existing users—remains an ongoing challenge. In this process, we believe that both new and existing users must enjoy high-quality services and high-value experiences.
How do we achieve the "Five High" standards mentioned earlier? We believe that four major innovations will build a future-oriented core competitiveness.
