The electric vehicle maker will initially employ 10 experts at the facility to aid in the design of a circuit architecture and other R&D activities. The company also plans to create an investment strategy associated with chip development and AI training, according to the report. Li Auto is hoping to complete the tape-out for its autonomous driving semiconductor by December, which marks the end of the design phase and the beginning of production, with a new model incorporating the new chip to be rolled out in 2026, sources said. A similar office was set up in Singapore last November to enable the development of silicon-carbide (SiC) chips, which provides high temperature resistance and low power consumption for electric cars.
