News from the IT community on October 19th: Li Xiang from CEO Li Auto published a lengthy article today, sharing his views on independent technology development. He believes that it is beneficial for the industry's development and the interests of consumers for car manufacturers to delve deeply into the core technologies of batteries.

Li Xiang stated that a super-large-scale industry needs two 'legs' to move forward alternately: one leg is represented by professional suppliers who have a deep understanding of the products, and the other leg is represented by manufacturers of complete machines who conduct in-depth research on core technologies. Only by moving forward with both legs alternately can the entire industry progress, and it is ultimately the users who will benefit. Conversely, if the industry relies on only one 'leg' for a long time, it will be difficult to sustain progress over the long term. Enterprises are prone to fall into scale competition, while the performance, quality, safety, and lifespan, which users truly care about, will remain stagnant.

He said that the same is true for the automotive industry. The world needs both battery companies that understand intelligent electric vehicles the best and intelligent electric vehicle companies that understand batteries the best. Li Auto aims to become one of those companies that understand batteries the best, and together with battery suppliers that understand cars the best, to take a step forward in solving problems that have not been resolved for a long time.

IT has noted that the Ideal Auto Electric Technology Launch Event is scheduled for October 20th at 19:30, where the latest technological advancements of Ideal Auto will be unveiled.
