Tips

usage

Short for 智能驾驶 ('intelligent driving'). Covers everything from lane-keeping to highway pilot to so-called 城市NOA (city navigate-on-autopilot). Often graded by SAE levels: L2, L3, L4. Not the same as 自动驾驶 (zìdòng jiàshǐ, 'autonomous driving'), which implies a higher level of automation.

culture

智驾 is a marketing battlefield in China's EV race: 华为问界 (Huawei AITO), 小鹏 (XPeng), 蔚来 (NIO), and 理想 (Li Auto) all push their 智驾 capabilities heavily. The phrase 全国都能开 ('drivable nationwide') became a 2024-2025 selling point for city-level 智驾.
