Organized by Gasgoo, the awards recognize innovation and technology application across the automotive supply chain. Under this year's theme, "China Solutions, Global Value," the program recognizes companies and innovations with industrial value, considering technological innovation, practical application, market validation and adaptability to global markets.
Single-Chip Integration and On-Device AI Deliver Practical Technology Value
Built on the Qualcomm SA8797P platform, AL-A2 uses hypervisor virtualization to support two operating systems on a single chip for integrated cockpit and driving functions. It also supports on-device deployment of a four-billion-parameter vision-language model (4B VLM), bringing cross-domain functionality and in-vehicle AI capabilities onto a unified computing platform.

As intelligent vehicle functions evolve, cockpit interaction, driver assistance and in-vehicle AI place greater demands on computing resources and data coordination. These workloads have different requirements for response timing, resource allocation and operational reliability, making coordinated hardware and software design and system validation essential.
Autolink addresses these requirements through chip platform adaptation, foundational software development, virtualization and functional integration, translating chip capabilities into product solutions that meet vehicle requirements. The unified platform supports coordination between cockpit and driving functions, providing a foundation for cross-domain data exchange and computing resource management. On-device deployment of the 4B VLM extends the platform's potential for multimodal perception, scene understanding and in-vehicle AI agents.
The award recognizes integrated innovation and practical technology application in Autolink's central computing platform, as well as the company's engineering capabilities spanning platform adaptation, system development and vehicle integration.
