[NetEase Smart News, August 28th] Kai Ni, who previously served as the head of Smart Driving at LeTV, has officially announced the establishment of his new company, HoloMatic, which is dedicated to developing an L3.5-level production-grade autopilot system. Prior to this, rumors had circulated about Kai Ni joining NavInfo.
According to reports, Kai Ni has worked at Microsoft, Baidu, and LeTV, and has been involved in and led several autonomous vehicle projects. His new company, HoloMatic, currently boasts a team of around 30 people and has already secured investment from Bertelsmann China.
Regarding the new venture, the L3.5 technology developed by Zhe Duo Technology can significantly reduce the frequency of system intervention compared to traditional L3 systems, providing users with an experience closer to that of fully autonomous (L4) vehicles. However, their goal is not to create a full L4 system but rather to develop a quasi-L4 system that can be integrated into existing L3 products.
Currently, Zhe Duo Technologies is collaborating with multiple automotive manufacturers and suppliers. They have also entered into a strategic partnership with JAC Automobile's Italian Design Center to focus on the EU's "Horizon 2020" innovation framework. Together, they aim to provide future urban mobility solutions through lightweight intelligent electric vehicles. (Reported by Ding Xi)
