On June 5 at Qualcomm's 2026 Automotive Technology and Cooperation Summit, NIO founder, chairman and CEO Li Bin said automakers must become AI companies and smart cockpits must become AI cockpits. He said AI is reshaping next‑generation cockpit experience and ushering in a cognitive‑cockpit era, and that future core cockpit experiences must be fully agentized. NIO is advancing toward that goal in its in‑vehicle cockpit experience, with some functions already deployed in production vehicles.
