SHANGHAI, China, May 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ECARX Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: ECX) (“ECARX” or the “Company”), a global mobility technology company, today announced the launch of multiple intelligent driving and safety features for its Skyland Pro computing platform, which significantly enhance the intelligent driving experience.

The new features were previewed during ECARX’s second Tech Day, which was held in Hangzhou on March 20, 2024, and were released for the first time in the recent version 1.4.0 update for the “Lynk Co-Pilot Navi” smart navigation assistance system on Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P.

Leveraging the power of Skyland Pro’s dual system-on-a-chip architecture, the update included a number of L2+ assisted driving and parking features, including highway Navigate-on-Autopilot (NOA), Automatic Parking Assist (APA), and Remote Parking Assist (RPA). The highway NOA feature will initially cover Zhejiang province, Jiangsu province, Guangdong province, and Shanghai in China, with a nationwide rollout soon to follow. Future updates are also planned for urban NOA and Home Zone Parking Assist (HPA).

A number of advanced safety features were simultaneously rolled out through the update, allowing the Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P to better predict and respond to potential road risks, and to provide real-time safety alerts. These include an Evasive Maneuver Assist (EMA), Speed Limit Assist (SLA) for cruise control, Traffic Alert and Avoidance (TAA) for larger vehicles, an Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) system to alter the beam pattern and reduce glare for oncoming drivers, and improved lane-departure warnings.

“The initial launch of these intelligent driving and safety features for the Skyland Pro platform on the Lynk & Co. 08 EM-P reflects the significant progress we are making to consistently improve the intelligent driving experience,” commented ECARX Chairman and CEO Ziyu Shen. “Together with our ecosystem of partners, we are driving technical innovation across the industry. This offers automakers a unique value proposition, as it reduces their engineering costs, allows them consistently to release new features much faster, and keeps them at the forefront of technological changes.”
