cnbc said that China’s Tencent has teamed up with automaker Geely on various car technologies as traditional vehicle manufacturers continue to partner technology giants.
The deal will see the two work on areas “in the fields of digitalization, intelligent cockpits, autonomous drive, and low carbon development,” the companies said.
This will include making the development cycle of a car more digital, adding smart applications to the driver’s cockpit, and eventually exploring autonomous driving systems.
