Vueron Technology Wins CES 2026 Innovation Award

📌 Vueron Technology’s integrated LiDAR AI platform, VueX, received the CES 2026 Innovation Award for redefining 3D perception with its end-to-end, no-code LiDAR AI development system.

• Vueron Technology won the CES 2026 Innovation Award in the Vehicle Technology and Advanced Mobility category for its integrated LiDAR AI platform, VueX.

• VueX is recognized as the world’s first integrated LiDAR AI platform capable of understanding and analyzing complex 3D data in real time.

• The platform unifies the entire LiDAR AI workflow—from data collection and labeling to model training and deployment—within a single system.

• Its intuitive web interface enables no-code model building, allowing even non-experts to create and deploy AI models easily.

• Vueron’s proprietary AI engine optimizes LiDAR data quality and reduces labeling time by up to 95%, significantly improving development efficiency.

• The system’s one-stop structure lowers the barriers to AI adoption by eliminating the need for costly expert intervention.

• VueX follows Vueron’s previous CES Smart City Innovation Award for its SCA solution, already deployed across Seoul districts for real-time crowd and safety monitoring.

• In June 2025, VueX obtained AWS “Software Pass” certification and was listed on the AWS Marketplace, enabling global users to access it instantly in a secure, cloud-based environment.

• CEO Jae-kwang Kim stated that the CES award and AWS certification validate VueX’s global competitiveness, emphasizing its role in advancing autonomous driving, robotics, and smart city applications.

WeRide Achieves SOP for One-Stage End-to-End ADAS Solution, Setting a New Industry Benchmark

📌 WeRide and Bosch achieved SOP for their one-stage end-to-end ADAS solution, WePilot 3.0, in just seven months, marking a major milestone in scalable, production-ready autonomous driving technology.

• WeRide announced that its jointly developed one-stage end-to-end ADAS solution with Bosch has officially entered mass production (SOP).

• The project reached SOP within seven months of launch, setting a new record in the ADAS industry.

• The WePilot 3.0 system integrates WeRide’s large model architecture, system-level fusion, and hardware–software collaboration for seamless end-to-end performance.

• It allows vehicles to “see and act” simultaneously, supporting multi-sensor fusion, pure vision setups, and a range of compute platforms.

• The solution enhances navigation in complex traffic scenarios involving pedestrians, vehicles, and mixed road environments.

• Its self-learning, scalable architecture enables rapid adaptation across global markets, aligning with real-world conditions and driver behaviors.

• Field tests have shown human-like driving performance, earning positive reviews from customers and media worldwide.

• The system will debut in the 2025 Chery EXEED ES and ET models, with OTA upgrades available for current Sterra ES and ET owners.

• WeRide plans to expand its ADAS deployment in collaboration with global partners, accelerating safe and intelligent assisted driving adoption worldwide.

AEye Expands Apollo Manufacturing Capacity to 60,000 Units, Bolstered by a Globally Recognized Institutional Investor

📌 AEye accelerates its global growth with expanded Apollo LiDAR production through LITEON and a new institutional investment, reinforcing its capital-light strategy and readiness for large-scale deployment.

• AEye announced a major expansion of its growth strategy through a deeper manufacturing partnership with LITEON Technology and a new strategic capital investment.

• The partnership enables rapid scaling of AEye’s high-performance Apollo LiDAR sensor while maintaining operational and financial efficiency.

• LITEON will establish a dedicated production line for Apollo units, enhancing capacity and precision to meet increasing global demand.

• The new line, designed for automated assembly and automotive-grade quality, will support up to 60,000 units annually once fully operational by mid-2026.

• LITEON will provide manufacturing expertise and resources to support Apollo’s next-generation production requirements.

• The new institutional investment will accelerate production readiness, strengthen AEye’s balance sheet, and support global deliveries.

• CEO Matt Fisch stated that the expanded partnership and investor backing validate AEye’s capital-light, partnership-driven model for scalable production.

• Apollo’s long-range detection capability—up to one kilometer—with compact size and low power consumption positions it as a leading solution for automotive, defense, smart infrastructure, and industrial applications.

• The developments highlight AEye’s disciplined approach to scaling through strategic alliances rather than heavy capital expenditures.

Los Angeles startup is testing driverless freight trains in Southern California

📌 Los Angeles-based startup Parallel Systems, founded by former SpaceX engineers, is testing LiDAR-equipped autonomous, battery-powered freight trains that could revolutionize cargo transport and reduce emissions across the U.S.

• Parallel Systems, a Los Angeles startup founded by former SpaceX engineers, is developing fully autonomous, battery-powered freight trains.

• The company aims to replace short-haul diesel truck routes with cleaner, more efficient autonomous rail transport.

• Each 44-foot railcar operates independently or in groups, powered by lithium-iron phosphate batteries that provide up to 500 miles of range.

• The system uses wireless communication to maintain synchronized spacing and speed, replacing traditional couplers with smart “flocking” technology.

• Parallel Systems has raised $100 million and obtained federal approval to test on shared tracks, including a new site near the Port of Savannah, Georgia.

• The trains leverage cameras, LiDAR, and machine learning to navigate existing rail infrastructure safely and efficiently.

• The company’s technology promises to cut congestion, reduce carbon emissions, and improve logistics efficiency across U.S. ports and highways.

Xiaomi to Launch Hands-Free Autonomous Driving Experience in Select Stores

📌 Xiaomi will open public test drives for its SU7 and YU7 models, featuring a “zero-intervention” end-to-end autonomous driving system trained on 10 million real-world driving clips.

• Xiaomi Auto will launch hands-free autonomous driving test drives for the SU7 and YU7 models this weekend.

• The pilot showcases Xiaomi’s “zero-intervention” end-to-end driving system, marking its first public demonstration.

• The YU7 model offers higher computing power and smoother assisted driving performance compared to the base SU7.

• Xiaomi’s “10-Million Clips” version of its end-to-end assisted driving system began rolling out to SU7 Pro, Max, and Ultra models in July.

• The updated version delivers smoother acceleration, braking, and intersection handling, with improved road interpretation.

• Every YU7 will launch equipped with this advanced driving system from the start.

• The system is trained on 10 million short multimodal clips combining LiDAR, camera, and radar data, enabling a more natural, human-like driving experience.
