Volkswagen to equip Chinese cars with AI agents, in bid to catch up in tech

Volkswagen Group plans to equip new cars built for China with AI "agents" from the second half of this year, it said on Tuesday, as the automaker looks to catch up with the advanced technology on offer in the world's largest car market. At an event in Beijing ahead of the start of the annual car show later this week, Volkswagen said that from the second half of this year it would feature "onboard AI agents" in vehicles that use its China-only electronic architecture. The technology would allow "highly intuitive, human-like interaction" between the vehicle and the driver while ensuring "robust personal data protection." Unlike a voice assistant that answers simple questions, AI agents can handle more complex tasks and decision-making, the company said. Volkswagen is trying to reposition itself in the country as a company with a China-specific electric and intelligent vehicle strategy rather than a legacy manufacturer with a strong internal combustion footprint.
