At the recently concluded 2026 Beijing Auto Show, BMW jointly launched three AI smart assistants specially designed for the Chinese market with Alibaba Cloud. These assistants will significantly enhance users' experience in driving and traveling, transforming traditional car voice assistants from passive responses to active decision-making, truly achieving "understanding and handling effectively."

The three newly released AI smart assistants are "Driving Expert," "Travel Companion," and "Knowledge Master." The new BMW iX3 long-wheelbase model became the first vehicle to be equipped with these three smart assistants, marking an important step for BMW in the field of intelligent vehicles.

"Travel Companion" is powerful, as it can understand complex travel needs and instantly generate personalized travel plans. For example, when a user asks, "Find me a mall within 3 kilometers, with a charging station, preferably a high-rated and good-environment restaurant, then go to Daxing Airport to catch a flight at 4 p.m.," this assistant can quickly break down the travel requirements and provide a complete plan including distance, charging, dining, and route planning. All of this is made possible by the deep integration of the Qwen large model and AutoNavi Map, allowing the smart assistant to quickly access a massive amount of geographical and temporal information.

"Driving Expert" is a smart assistant that integrates 200,000 pieces of professional driving knowledge from BMW, providing professional answers to car owners and enhancing driving safety and convenience. Users can enjoy a service similar to that of a real technical advisor whenever they encounter any driving-related issues.

Notably, this exhibition featured 16 new models from BMW, including four globally debuted models and eight models debuted in China. The introduction of the new-generation BMW iX3 and the new-generation BMW i3 long-wheelbase model highlights BMW's determination and strength in the Chinese market. With the continuous advancement of smart technology, BMW keeps innovating to meet the growing travel needs of users.

In the future of automotive travel, smart assistants will play an increasingly important role. Whether it is daily driving or long-distance travel, BMW's new generation of smart assistants will provide meticulous service and support to car owners, making travel more convenient and enjoyable.
