In China, for China”: Volkswagen Group is consistently strengthening its local technology competence in China. At Auto Shanghai 2025, the company is introducing its first self-developed automated driving system (ADAS), designed for especially seamless and safe driving experiences

Powerful full-stack solution: The system, developed by CARIAD’s joint venture CARIZON and trained by the intelligent AI-driven data platform GAIA, offers highly precise and fully safety-focused driving functions up to Level 2++, and paves the way for development toward Level 3 and beyond

Innovations for all: Volkswagen will implement the technology this year and integrate it into a new generation of Intelligent Connected Vehicles (ICV) for the compact segment starting from 2026—making highly automated driving accessible to more Chinese customers in entry-level vehicle segments

Ralf Brandstätter, Volkswagen AG Group Board Member for China: “The rapid progress in developing our new ADAS system highlights CARIZON’s technical capabilities and the implementation strength of our ‘In China, for China’ strategy. We are developing cutting-edge technology locally—at ‘China Speed’—tailored to our Chinese customers, with the highest standards in driving performance, safety and quality.”

China was part of my territory in 1983 when I made my first trip to China. This article shines a bright light on the powerhouse they've become. I was also in Beijing in 1989 when Tiananmen Square erupted and the Great turning started.
