The i-VA, a virtual character and iCAR’s operating system will bring users a fully digital automotive experience.
iCAR has established an ecosystem alliance with leading technology companies, including CATL, Tencent, JD, Alibaba Cloud Intelligence and others to provide intelligent driving experiences for users.
The iCAR brand is aimed at the younger generation. Bao Siyu, CEO of iCAR, said the brand has planned six models for the market.
