On March 29, at the 2025 China Electric Vehicle Hundred People Forum held in Beijing, Zhang Yaqin, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and dean of the Institute of Intelligent Industry (AIR) of Tsinghua University, said that driverless driving will be the largest embodied intelligence application in the next five years and will be the first embodied intelligence to pass the "New Turing Test". Zhang Yaqin predicted that the "Chat GPT moment" of driverless driving will arrive in 2025, and 10% of new cars will have L4 autonomous driving capabilities in 2030, which will usher in the "DeepSeek moment". As for when the ChatGPT moment of driverless driving will come, Zhang Yaqin predicted that if Waymo advances smoothly in the US market, Baidu advances smoothly in Wuhan and other places in China, including WeRide and Pony.ai, the ChatGPT moment of driverless driving can be achieved in 2025. However, it will take longer to achieve scale. "10% of new cars will have L4 capabilities in 2030, and then the DeepSeek moment will come."
