随着智能化进入下半场，过去高度依赖进口的汽车芯片市场，正在发生改变。 近日，"蔚来世界模型NWM"陆续推送到蔚来ET9、新ES6、新EC6等车型，开始在自研芯片"神玑 NX9031"上运行，但刚刚预售的乐道L90仍搭载的是英伟达Orin X芯片。 7月11月，蔚来创始人、董事长、CEO李斌在媒体会上向《中国经营报》记者表示，神玑是全球首个车 规级5纳米高阶智能驾驶芯片，一开始的产能是有限的，所以在较长时间内将主要应用于蔚来品牌，不 会上车乐道品牌。"乐道L90选择英伟达Orin X芯片，一方面在于这款芯片供应量十分充足；另一方面， 此前蔚来大部分车辆都使用这款芯片，积累的数据闭环可以快速让乐道复用。" 记者了解到，汽车应用场景极为丰富和复杂，除了产能问题，汽车芯片还有更高的可靠性要求。一款汽 车芯片想要进入国际通用汽车供应链认证通常需要2—4年，相关企业普遍面临研发投入大、回收成本难 的困境。 中经记者 郭阳琛 石英婧 上海报道 这让国际半导体巨头英特尔也不得不断臂求生。不久前，英特尔决定逐步收缩汽车业务，而这距离其首 次参加上海国际车展仅过了两个月。当时，英特尔还发布了第二代AI增强型软件定义汽车系统级芯片 ...
