元戎启行对VLA模型的投入，源于元戎启行CEO周光对技术趋势的判断。 2023年底，GPT-4发布后展现出的多模态理解和逻辑推理能力，让周光看到了一条通往更高阶智能驾驶的路径，他认为"强AI时代"可能提前到来。 "它打破了我们对AI发展进程的认知——原来从弱AI到强AI可能只需要几年，而非过去认为的50年……如果我们不转型为大模型驱动的公司，未来很可能面 临降维打击。"周光在接受经济观察报等媒体采访时说。 真正促使元戎启行坚定转向VLA的，是一个发生在2024年6月的具体场景。在深圳福田保税区入口，突然立起一块"车辆左转不受灯控"的指示牌。当时元戎 启行的测试车在红灯前停下，却因无法理解牌面文字而被后车鸣笛催促。 8月26日，元戎启行发布全新一代辅助驾驶平台——DeepRoute IO 2.0，该平台搭载自研的VLA（Vision-Language-Action）模型，融合视觉感知、语义理解与 动作决策三大核心能力。 如今，从理想、小鹏等整车企业，到元戎启行等智驾供应商，越来越多企业开始布局VLA模型。VLA与现有的端到端架构的区别在哪里？它能给企业和用 户带来什么？ 让AI学会"害怕" 区别于端到端架构的模 ...
