Chery Automobile announces patent for folding fixed-wing flying car
The Tianyancha app shows that on July 29th, Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. published a patent for a "Fixed-wing deployment and folding mechanism for a flying car and a flying car." The abstract shows that the fixed-wing deployment and folding mechanism includes a wing panel, two fixed wings, and two sets of deployment and folding components. Each fixed wing is connected to the wing panel via a deployment and folding component. The two fixed wings are symmetrically distributed about the YOZ plane, and the two sets of deployment and folding components are symmetrically distributed about the YOZ plane. The deployment and folding components are used to drive the fixed wings to switch between deployed and folded states. In the deployed state, the plane on which the fixed wings lie is perpendicular to a second direction. In the folded state, the plane on which the fixed wings lie is perpendicular to a first direction. The second direction is parallel to the thickness of the wing panel and perpendicular to the first direction. This arrangement enables the folding operation of the fixed wings, reducing the space occupied by the fixed wings and enabling the flying car to travel on conventional roads and park in general parking spaces.

The world's first L3-level AI car, Xiaopeng G7, is about to be officially released
On July 3, the new energy vehicle Xiaopeng G7 equipped with three "Chinese chips" will be officially launched in Beijing. Xiaopeng G7 has an effective computing power of over 2200 TOPS, which makes the vehicle-side computing power reach L3 level, and uses the industry's "leading" energy efficiency ratio to make computing power burst out with extreme efficiency. In addition, it will drive the future at the same time, in the dexterous joints of robots and in the sky trajectory of flying cars. When data becomes the oil of the new era, computing power is the engine of mining. In an era when the global supply chain is within reach, Xiaopeng has chosen a more difficult path. After five years of deep cultivation and billions of investments, it has only forged a "Chinese chip" - Turing AI chip, which gives Chinese smart cars the "brain" with the highest computing power. When computing power awakens and intelligence evolves, Chinese cars will go from a "manufacturing power" to a "smart manufacturing power". Xiaopeng G7 uses AI to shape future travel.
