On April 21, SAIC Audi and Momenta jointly announced that the AUDI E7X has become the first model for Momenta's mass-production-ready L3 automated driving capability. Centered on Audi's signature driving feel and powered by the Momenta R7 World Model, the two sides will jointly build an L3 automated driving system that unites safety, comfort, and a sense of luxury. This milestone collaboration not only marks a major leap in the two partners' joint progress in intelligent driving – successfully advancing from advanced assisted driving into the higher tier of automated driving – but also fully demonstrates the continuous evolution of Momenta's reinforcement-learning technology path and its solid mass-production strength.
The deep cooperation between SAIC Audi and Momenta began with the AUDI brand's first model, the AUDI E5 Sportback. Together, the two created the industry's first advanced assisted driving solution with a signature "driving feel," deeply integrating Audi's century-old Driving DNA with Momenta's reinforcement-learning big model to deliver a luxurious assisted driving experience – with confident acceleration, effortless lane changes, and stable, assured cornering. Refined from over 10 billion kilometers into more than 100 million "golden" data samples [the highest-value, carefully curated training data], it has achieved an evolution of AI-powered intelligent driving from "imitating humans" to "surpassing humans", delivering a triple-ultimate travel experience: the ultimate in safety and peace of mind, the ultimate in smooth, human-like behavior, and the ultimate in efficient, seamless driving.
From the successful rollout of advanced assisted driving on the AUDI E5 Sportback – building mature joint-development and co-tuning experience – to the AUDI E7X becoming the first model for Momenta's mass-production-ready L3 automated driving capability, the two sides have stayed true to their founding spirit of bringing out the best in each other, steadily delivering a dual upgrade in both technology and user experience and embodying a seamless blend of German luxury heritage and Chinese AI technology.
Looking ahead, SAIC Audi and Momenta will continue to work side by side and deepen their collaboration. Drawing on Momenta's technological depth and Audi's luxury car-making DNA, the two will jointly explore the frontier of Physical AI, creating a new intelligent mobility experience that combines safety and peace of mind with driving enjoyment, and leading a new direction for the luxury intelligent driving industry.
