In the fiercely competitive field of intelligent driving, "going it alone" is becoming a thing of the past. At the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in the United States, GEELY Automobile Group and QianLi Intelligent Driving jointly launched a new intelligent driver assistance brand – QianLiHaoHan G-ASD (Geely Afari Smart Driving). This is not just a new name, but the core implementation of GEELY's "integrated intelligent driving" strategy, marking its official entry into a new stage centered on high modularity and full-domain AI-driven technology.
So, what exactly is QianLiHaoHan G-ASD? How does it differ from the previously known HaoHan H1/H5 and other systems? And what tangible experience upgrades will it bring to users?
To understand G-ASD, we must first clarify its relationship with the "QianLiHaoHan H series."
QianLiHaoHan H (H1-H9): Represents different hardware configuration schemes, covering all price segments from basic sensing to top-of-the-line redundancy. For example, the H7 scheme uses high-performance chips and LiDAR, while the top-of-the-line H9 scheme comes standard with 5 LiDAR sensors and dual Thor chips, with computing power up to 1400 TOPS, reserving ample capabilities for advanced intelligent driving.
QianLiHaoHan G-ASD: Is the unified software version name based on these hardware schemes. Simply put, the H series is the "body" and "senses" (hardware), while G-ASD is the "brain" and "mind" (software) that drives the body.
This "hardware grading, software unification" model is similar to decoupling the hardware platform from the autonomous driving software. Its core objective is to break down the fragmentation of intelligent driving experiences between new and old models and different brands (GEELY, ZEEKR, LYNK&CO), allowing models equipped with the same level of QianLiHaoHan hardware to obtain similar and continuously evolving advanced intelligent driving experiences through OTA updates, achieving technological inclusiveness and data compounding benefits.
G-ASD's strength stems from the "golden triangle" support built by GEELY in the field of intelligent technology.
Massive Data Sets: GEELY possesses industry-leading data assets, including 8.5 million vehicles equipped with L2 or higher level assisted driving systems, a cumulative total of over ten billion kilometers of real driving mileage, 25 million high-quality driving scenario video clips, and global real-world accident data deeply integrated into model training. This provides a continuous supply of "experiential nourishment" for AI models.
Top-tier Computing Power Base: GEELY can provide cloud computing power for QianLiHaoHan up to 23.5 EFLOPS (exaflops), ranking first among Chinese automakers. Powerful computing power is the fundamental guarantee for training large models with hundreds of billions of parameters and achieving rapid iteration.
High "Model Content" Technology Architecture: "Model content" is a key indicator for measuring the intelligence level of intelligent driving systems, referring to the breadth and depth of AI models covered in the system. G-ASD's model content has been significantly improved, primarily due to the adoption of an advanced architecture that combines the "VLA Visual Language Action Model" and the "WM World Model."
The WM World Model is deployed in the cloud. It acts like a "virtual brain" that has learned the laws of the real world, capable of predicting the consequences of different actions, helping the system to perform safer and more reasonable global planning and reasoning.
The VLA vehicle-side large model allows the vehicle to directly translate "seen scenarios" and "received instructions" into "actions to be performed," just like a human, improving real-time environmental understanding and risk prediction capabilities.
The combination of the two forms a dual intelligent closed loop of "cloud-based simulation learning" and "vehicle-side real-time reasoning."
For users, the ultimate value of technology is reflected in the experience. The first version of QianLiHaoHan G-ASD has brought several substantial improvements in functionality:
Smarter Navigation Assistance (NOA):
Seamless Connection: Achieves true "door-to-door (D2D)" navigation assistance, allowing the vehicle to autonomously complete the entire driving process from the starting parking space to the destination parking space, including traversing multiple floors in underground parking lots, navigating roundabouts, and passing through parking lot gates. Narrow Road U-Turn: The system now features automatic multi-point U-turn capabilities in narrow roads, eliminating the need for manual intervention.
Enhanced Predictive Capabilities: In scenarios such as intersections, the system can predict the trajectories of pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles like an experienced driver, enabling smooth deceleration or avoidance in advance, resulting in higher traffic efficiency.
More Comprehensive Active Safety:
Automatic Emergency Obstacle Avoidance: The AES function has been upgraded to recognize and continuously avoid irregularly shaped obstacles such as triangular signs and crash barriers, and can even perform two consecutive avoidance maneuvers.
Proactive Safety Protection: The system is committed to creating "all-scenario defensive driving," proactively predicting risks in blind spots such as intersections without traffic lights, truly preventing problems before they occur.
Full Coverage of Parking Scenarios:
Parking capabilities have been further improved, handling vertical, horizontal, diagonal, and even unmarked and mechanical parking spaces. Not only is parking more precise, but intelligent parking assistance has also been added, providing full coverage of the parking process.
QianLiHaoHan G-ASD is not the end, but a starting point for continuous evolution. GEELY has announced that, subject to regulations, it will release high-speed L3 conditional autonomous driving and low-speed L4 functions within 2026, and is also planning Robotaxi operations.
Through continuous simulation of the cloud-based world model and real-time inference of the vehicle-side large model, the G-ASD system is gradually accumulating the ability to handle various "long-tail scenarios." Its vision is to achieve a leap from "assisted driving" to "autonomous thinking," ultimately evolving into an "AI intelligent life form."
The release of QianLiHaoHan G-ASD is a crucial step in GEELY's intelligent strategy. Through a unified software architecture, a solid data computing foundation, and the application of cutting-edge large model technology, it not only brings users immediate upgrades in intelligent driving experience but also outlines a clear and sustainable evolutionary path. For users across the entire GEELY brand matrix, this means that their vehicles are expected to continuously gain safer, more human-like, and more powerful intelligent driving capabilities through continuous OTA updates in the coming years.
