The 2025 Shanghai Auto Show came to a successful conclusion last week. As the world's largest top-level event in the automotive industry, this year's Shanghai Auto Show showcases the cutting-edge achievements and advanced solutions of the global automotive industry in the field of technological innovation. Numerous debut and popular car models are competing to make their debut, attracting much attention. Among them, many star models equipped with Arm technology are particularly eye-catching due to their outstanding innovative performance in intelligence, electrification, and safety. As a globally leading computing platform company, Arm collaborates with ecological partners to continuously provide technological empowerment for leading automotive brands and models, and jointly safeguard the implementation and popularization of future intelligent automotive technologies.

Leading the trend of industry development with star models from various brands

The accelerated transformation from "transportation vehicles" to "intelligent mobile spaces". The deep integration of technology and automobiles is accelerating the landing of intelligent applications, among which intelligent technologies represented by assisted driving functions are getting on board at an unprecedented speed. As the culmination of NIO's decade long technological innovation, NIO ET9 brings unprecedented intelligence and safety experience to users with its intelligent driving chip, global operating system, and intelligent chassis. The Jike 9X is equipped with the Geely Qianli Haohan H9 solution for the first time, which is the industry's first technology architecture designed for L3 level intelligent assisted driving, significantly improving the intelligence and perception accuracy of automobiles. The Zhiji L6 fully introduces cutting-edge intelligent technology in the industry, equipped with IM AD 3.0 intelligent assisted driving. With the efficient collaboration of Orin-X chip and LiDAR, it achieves high-performance real-time decision-making and environmental perception, completely defining the next generation of advanced intelligent automotive products.

The accelerated transformation from "parameter competition" to "experience definition". Under the wave of intelligence, users' car needs are becoming increasingly diverse, with personalized and family car needs highlighted, and safety has always been the key cornerstone of various car use scenarios. In terms of personalization, Firefly is positioned as a high-end intelligent electric car, equipped with 13 active safety functions and complete active safety configurations. Its intelligent assisted driving covers high-speed, parking and other scenarios, bringing users a more relaxed and safe driving experience. In terms of family use, the concept car representing the next generation product direction of Xingtu, Xingtu Tianji, will apply the Falcon 700 and Falcon 900 assisted driving systems. Among them, the Falcon 900 adopts a new generation of assisted driving system based on VLA (Visual Language Action Model) and World Model, achieving six fold safety redundancy settings, providing users with all-weather and all scene intelligent protection. The GAC Haobo HL is positioned as a new luxury SUV for home intelligence, with advanced technology and systematic safety as its core. It has introduced the GAC Xingling safety protection system, covering comprehensive safety technologies including assisted driving safety, intelligent chassis safety, and active passive fusion safety, making users' travel more secure. As the flagship MPV of home technology, the Ideal MEGA Home Special Edition has a powerful "chip" with a computing power of 700 TOPS, providing efficient support for many active safety functions such as emergency braking (AEB) and automatic emergency steering (AES). It runs the existing end-to-end+VLM model and will also support the VLA driver model, bringing a safe and intelligent travel experience to the whole family. Xiaopeng X9 creates a family friendly and ultra comfortable AI seven seater. This model comes standard with Turing AI intelligent assisted driving and 14 active safety configurations across the entire range, integrating hardcore technology to provide full scenario intelligent driving and hardcore safety protection, ensuring the safety of the entire vehicle.

Joining hands with ecological partners to accelerate innovation in the automotive industry

Electrification and intelligence are reshaping the automotive industry landscape. In this wave, Arm, leveraging its advantages in AI performance, energy efficiency, and ecosystem building, continues to work with ecological partners to promote deeper development of automotive intelligence. From the rich Arm AE (Automotive Enhanced) IP that combines outstanding performance, scalability, energy efficiency, and unique safety features, to software technologies represented by virtual prototyping and KleidiAI, and to the SOAFEE (Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge) ecological collaboration initiative, Arm's comprehensive solutions and ecosystem support provide a solid guarantee for the intelligent transformation of the automotive industry.

Arm's advantages in technology and ecology have won high recognition from global automotive ecosystem partners. Currently, 94% of car manufacturers worldwide have adopted Arm technology in their latest models. At the same time, the top 15 global automotive semiconductor suppliers have adopted Arm technology in their chip solutions. From the perspective of application scenarios, Arm technology is widely used in accelerating the deployment of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), intelligent human-computer interaction, and in car infotainment (IVI) systems and other in car scenarios. Currently, Arm technology supports 80% of in car infotainment (IVI) systems and 65% of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

The concentrated appearance of intelligent cars equipped with Arm technology at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show is not only a demonstration of technological strength, but also an important footnote for Arm and its partners to jointly promote the process of automotive intelligence. In the future, Arm will continue to be driven by innovation and work together with the industry towards a new era of safe and intelligent travel.
