BeijingApril 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — When the steering wheel learns to think for itself, transforming the fatigue of travel into a composed waiting game—on April 22, a technological revolution centered on “home” and “the road” quietly unfolded at the global debut of CHERY VPD. At this press conference, themed around Tech. For Family, two core features—One-Tap Departure and One-Step Homecoming—were officially unveiled. Leveraging end-to-end large model technology, they aim to break through the pain points of global family travel.

Difficulty parking and the hassle of finding a car are common frustrations for users worldwide. A 2025 global survey shows that 93% of drivers struggle to find parking spaces, with 8% feeling anxious about it every time they travel. Repeated circling in shopping mall garages, frantically searching for a car in heavy rain, and exhausted parking late at night—these daily scenarios constantly drain people’s time and mood. The CHERY brand focuses on real family needs, redefining automatic parking so that technology is no longer a cold display of skill, but a warm force that protects loved ones.
One-Tap Departure: Composed even when holding a child in the rain, the car picks you up with more warmth
The debut scene vividly demonstrated the practical value of “One-Tap Departure.” When users are carrying children, elderly family members, or heavy items, they no longer need to rush through the parking lot searching for their car. With a single tap on the app, the vehicle can autonomously start, smoothly exit the parking space, and actively come to the user from deep within the garage, truly achieving “the car waits for the person.”
In complex situations like encountering oncoming traffic, traditional systems tend to freeze or stall. However, CHERY’s end-to-end large model possesses “game-playing intelligence,” enabling it to autonomously judge, proactively yield, and flexibly adjust its route. The entire process avoids sudden braking or stalling, making trips with children more reassuring and saving elderly family members from unnecessary detours.
One-Step Homecoming: Arrive home upon exiting the car, giving time back to the family
“One-Step Homecoming” focuses on the return-home scenario, fully freeing up the user’s energy. After a busy day, when a user drives into their residential garage, they can simply get out, close the door, and initiate parking with a single tap on the app. The vehicle will autonomously search for a pre-set fixed parking spot. If that spot is occupied, it can quickly re-plan like an experienced driver, scanning in real-time to lock onto the optimal empty space and complete the parking maneuver.
From the moment the user exits the car, the vehicle takes full responsibility for the parking process, requiring no human intervention. This technology saves not just time, but also returns the precious moments that should be spent with family back to the user, allowing technology to truly serve family happiness.
Executive Tested Capability: Aaron Zheng Tackles Extreme Parking Spaces with Overseas Media
Whether technology is truly warm is tested by its ability to face extremes. At the event, Aaron Zheng, Executive Deputy General Manager of Chery International Marketing Center, personally sat in the driver’s seat and invited two overseas media representatives to experience the advanced capabilities of VPD technology.
Facing notoriously difficult, ultra-narrow passages and dead-end parking spots that would daunt even seasoned drivers, Aaron Zheng calmly initiated one-tap parking. The vehicle maneuvered deftly in centimeter-level tight spaces, with sensors precisely capturing the surrounding environment and the end-to-end model calculating the optimal path in real-time. What would normally be a “nightmare parking spot” requiring multiple corrections was completed in one smooth motion thanks to CHERY VPD’s intelligent decision-making. The overseas media on-site, amidst their amazement, genuinely felt the composure and trustworthiness brought by Chinese intelligent manufacturing—this is the safety commitment CHERY VPD delivers to families worldwide.
Dynamic Game-Playing: AI, the Seasoned Driver, Calmly Handles Complex Road Conditions
Real-world road conditions are full of surprises, and CHERY’s advanced parking system possesses mature on-the-spot intelligence. Facing unexpected situations like an occupied parking spot or narrow-lane meeting traffic, the system no longer relies on rigid commands. Instead, it leverages the end-to-end large model to autonomously judge and flexibly respond, actively yielding and passing through at low speeds with game-playing intelligence, showcasing the safety and elegance of intelligent driving.
Simultaneously, the vehicle is capable of yielding to pedestrians and intelligent obstacle avoidance. Even in dimly lit, complex garages, its decision-making remains smooth and its passage efficient, ensuring every garage trip is worry-free and seamless.
Technology Backing: Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing, Fortifying the Safety Baseline
Behind the smooth and intelligent performance lies the strong support of CHERY’s hardcore technology. The advanced parking technology unveiled this time marks the first large-scale mass production application of a Chinese automaker’s end-to-end large model overseas. It relies on end-to-end neural networks, multi-modal dual-redundancy prediction, and BEV fusion perception solutions to build a reliable intelligent parking system.
The system uses a deep fusion of cameras and LiDAR, coupled with high-precision positioning, allowing for stable navigation even in areas without maps. The entire process is transparent and controllable, with the system immediately decelerating and stopping in abnormal situations, firmly holding the safety baseline and giving users greater peace of mind.
The CHERY brand has always adhered to the automotive philosophy of “Technology Returns to the Family,” practicing the “Tech. For Family” concept. It focuses on real pain points, using the warmth of technology to safeguard every family journey. Notably, the debut event announced an important piece of news: In 2026, CHERY VPD will be officially equipped on the TIGGO 7 and TIGGO 8 models, first launching in the Middle East and Southeast Asian markets. This is not just a product iteration, but a declaration of Chinese wisdom driving the upgrade of global travel standards, allowing the warmth and intelligence of Chinese intelligent manufacturing to truly benefit every family around the world.
From the precise maneuvering of Chinese wisdom in the garage to the warm composure on the way home, the global debut of CHERY VPD has successfully concluded, but a warm new era of intelligent parking is quietly beginning. When cars learn to think and care, every departure is filled with peace of mind, and every homecoming is laden with warmth—this is the most heartfelt gift the CHERY brand offers to users worldwide.
