Geely Auto revving up for chip autonomy

Geely Auto is scheduled to produce China's first automotive grade seven-nanometer system-on-chip in 2022, as the nation's largest private carmaker accelerates its efforts to produce autonomous vehicles.

The chip, called SE1000, is to be used to offer smart onboard features, said Geely CEO Gan Jiayue on Sunday.

The intelligent car cockpit control chip is designed by Siengine, a Hubei province-based joint venture established by ECARX.
