2026 Beijing Auto Show Spotlights "Car + Everything" Ecosystem in Action

The 2026 Beijing Auto Show showcased multiple practical applications of the "Vehicle + Everything" ecosystem. Numerous automakers unveiled "Human-Car-Home" connectivity features: Xiaomi Auto set up a full-ecosystem interactive experience zone enabling seamless interconnection across devices; BYD built an open ecosystem centered around the vehicle; Changan Automobile has already integrated car-home connectivity functions into select models; and Li Auto introduced smart glasses allowing users to control their vehicles from outside the car. Additionally, flying cars emerged as a major highlight, with brands like XPeng and Hongqi exhibiting related products. On-site, robotic dogs and humanoid robots also made appearances, interacting with visitors to deliver emotional value. On the policy front, guidelines issued by the State Council and nine other government departments have provided strategic direction for the development of the "Vehicle + Everything" ecosystem. The auto show also reflected a growing trend of deep collaboration between OEMs and their supply chains, with an increasing number of projects adopting a "co-development and co-definition" approach. Automakers are now actively building comprehensive ecosystems that span energy, mobility, and urban services, shifting their competitive focus from individual products to holistic ecosystem strategies. They emphasize jointly developing a common technological foundation and concentrating resources on AI applications to establish differentiated advantages.
