ShanghaiApril 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As AI large models become everyday companions inside vehicle cabins, as smart cockpits shift from competing on screen count to competing on how well they “understand you,” and as advanced driver assistance becomes a must-have for all vehicle types, China’s smart automotive industry in 2026 is undergoing a profound transformation from “feature stacking” to “experience-driven” development.
At the intersection of these trends, Quectel is playing the role of a “comprehensive in-vehicle intelligent solution provider,” continuously expanding the breadth and depth of its product line to empower connected vehicles across the entire chain—from connectivity to perception, computing, and interaction.
On April 24, the 2026 Beijing International Automotive Exhibition grandly opened. Quectel made a stunning appearance at Booth 08 in Hall W4 of the China International Exhibition Center (Shunyi Pavilion), showcasing a series of innovative in-vehicle solutions, including three cockpit-integrated fusion solutions supporting on-device AI large model deployment, in-vehicle AI robots, central computing satellite architecture millimeter-wave radar, high-level driver assistance sensors, as well as cellular/Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/UWB connectivity modules, digital key solutions, high-precision positioning modules, smart antennas, and a full range of in-vehicle products. This comprehensive product matrix and forward-looking layout are fully empowering core scenarios such as smart cockpits, driver assistance, and in-vehicle intelligent interaction.

Cockpit Integration: Efficient Synergy, Refreshing Cabin Experience
As software-defined vehicles accelerate, “cockpit integration” is becoming a key path for automakers to achieve product premiumization and intelligence. To this end, Quectel has launched three integrated cockpit fusion smart cockpit solutions, targeting the intelligent upgrade needs of flagship luxury, high-end, and family economy models.
The solutions cover multi-tier AI computing power and multimedia capabilities, while integrating cutting-edge communication technologies such as 5G, Wi-Fi 6E/7, and Bluetooth 5.4. With a highly integrated design, they bridge the boundaries between the cockpit domain and the connectivity domain, transforming the vehicle from simple screen splicing into a perceptive, thinking, and collaborative “smart whole.”
Leveraging the powerful AI capabilities of the solutions, the vehicle cockpit can achieve multimodal collaborative interaction across voice, vision, and context, perceiving user habits, understanding voice commands, and anticipating potential needs, making every trip more attuned to user requirements.
In-Vehicle AI Robots: Making Cars “Understand You Better Over Time”
If 2025 was the “first year” for large models in vehicles, then 2026 is becoming a critical window for the large-scale production and application of entry-level AI agents in vehicle cockpits. This is no longer a simple upgrade of voice assistants, but a full-chain evolution from “command execution” to “proactive understanding, autonomous decision-making, and cross-scenario service.”
Targeting this industry window, Quectel has launched an “One Brain, Multiple Forms” Agentic IoT integrated solution: With end-cloud integrated Agentic AI technology as the core foundation, it breaks down data silos across the “person-car-home” three scenarios, achieving full-scenario coverage with one intelligent brain and multiple hardware forms.
Whether it’s an in-vehicle AI robot or a home desktop robot, both are equipped with the MemCore memory engine—an intelligent hub with personalized and long-term memory capabilities. By continuously accumulating user habits and preferences, it turns terminal devices into exclusive smart companions that “understand you better the more you use them.”
In addition to sensing the driver’s state in real-time and proactively engaging in interaction, the robot can also monitor for children or pets left behind in the vehicle after occupants exit, truly using a “smart brain” to evolve the human-vehicle relationship from a tool attribute to an emotional connection.
Stepping Up in the Perception Track: From Architectural Innovation to Mass Production
Beyond core strengths like smart cockpits and in-vehicle connectivity, Quectel has been continuously increasing its investment in the in-vehicle perception track in recent years. The central computing satellite architecture millimeter-wave radar unveiled at this exhibition builds a 360-degree three-dimensional perception system for the entire vehicle, using one forward-facing 4D imaging radar paired with four corner radars.
This solution innovatively adopts a “central fusion + distributed satellite node” architecture, breaking away from the traditional independent working mode of individual radars. This design brings multiple advantages: hardware costs and power consumption at the radar end are significantly reduced, vehicle wiring is lighter; perception data from the entire vehicle is deeply fused in the central domain controller, providing a more consistent and redundant environment model for driver assistance decision-making; perception algorithms can be continuously upgraded via OTA on the central computing platform without replacing hardware, truly achieving “hardware pre-installation, software-defined.”
At the same time, Quectel’s AR light-shadow foot-kick millimeter-wave radar solution has been successfully deployed in mass-produced models of leading domestic automakers, helping brands achieve the large-scale implementation of AR light-shadow touchless foot-kick functionality.
Multi-Faceted Progress: Traditional Strengths and Innovative Solutions Advance Together
In addition to the aforementioned cutting-edge innovations, Quectel also showcased a range of new products and solutions in its traditional strong areas of communication and multiple other tracks, continuously solidifying its comprehensive capabilities from connectivity to perception, and from positioning to decision-making.
5G/5G-A Modules: A new series of modules built on multiple platforms, significantly improving real-time data transmission efficiency and latency performance, while supporting Dual SIM Dual Active (DSDA) capability, providing vehicles with more stable and flexible network coverage.
Digital Key: A complete hardware system integrating Bluetooth, UWB, and NFC technologies, along with a full set of vehicle-cloud-end technical solutions, enabling high-precision, high-security touchless vehicle control experiences.
High-Precision Fusion Positioning: In the ADAS field, Quectel brings products like the P-BOX equipped with self-developed automotive-grade high-precision GNSS and IMU modules, fully empowering highway NOA and urban NOA intelligent driving. With centimeter-level precision positioning and strong anti-obstruction capabilities, it accurately identifies lane positions and perceives the road environment, smoothly adapting to scenarios like highway lane changes and ramp navigation, urban intersection turns, and complex mixed traffic of people and vehicles, helping high-level driver assistance decisions become more stable and driving safer. The solution can also be used in vertical industries such as port logistics, commercial vehicles, and AGVs.
ADAS Solution: Based on high-performance in-vehicle modules and multi-sensor fusion technology, the ADAS solution provides a complete in-vehicle intelligent system from perception to decision-making and control, empowering core scenarios such as highway assisted driving, automatic parking, traffic jam assist, and driver status monitoring.
From system-level integration of cockpit fusion, to the new perception paradigm opened by millimeter-wave radar, to the cognitive evolution driven by AI agents and large models—Quectel is deeply embedding itself into the value chain of smart vehicles through a differentiated path driven by the three dimensions of “communication + perception + computing.”
