理想研发体系，在硅谷拓疆。 36氪从多处获悉，理想汽车正式筹建硅谷的AI研发中心，将负责智能化技术研发，已在数月前开启人 员招聘。 中国新势力车企中，蔚来和小鹏布局更早，2014年、2018年便在美国硅谷建立研发中心。理想此次落子 硅谷、聚焦自动驾驶研发，意味着中国智能电动车的技术竞争已进一步升级。 2025年，汽车智能驾驶的竞争，火药味日趋浓烈。 华为今年发布了ADS 4.0版本，面向高速场景推出L3级自动驾驶的商用解决方案。目前在售的尊界 S800、问界M8等车型均已搭载支持L3级自动驾驶功能的硬件。 理想则在今年3月发布了VLA司机大模型，其技术原理是通过视觉-语言-动作联合建模，引入语言模型 和思维链，使车辆能理解场景、进行因果推理和常识判断，从而降低对规则系统的依赖，提升系统在未 知场景中的泛化能力。 9月10日，理想已向用户开启全量推送，但CEO李想在社交平台上表示，此次推送的VLA大模型是"残血 版"，有核心功能尚未开放。 知情人士告诉36氪，此前理想北美便拥有一个小型研发团队，支持芯片研发以及其他AI相关工作，"这 次是要把硅谷团队升级为一个真正的研发中心"。 据36氪了解，理想硅谷研发中心此 ...
