The competition the automotive industry encompasses technology product supply chain sales and service, it's a holistic competition and.

Our UV technology is pretty.

A pretty important one among all technologies, but definitely not the whole picture for.

For the real serious in the next few years, it's still considered if you're making the analogy to a human being is still in its stage and after consumers buy our auto vehicles, we will continue to improve our features and experience through Otas, which <unk>.

Speaker Change: Improve the value of products that they receive.

So software hardware and user experience and product. This integrated experience. The auto is still the leader in the industry and looking at the next three to five years I think the biggest variable is going to be autonomous artificial intelligence.

Speaker Change: It includes.

Speaker Change: AI powered autonomous driving and AI powered smart assistant it will create a completely different experience for our users and that I consider at the beginning of a real step change and one thing I want to remind everyone off.

Speaker Change: Since the beginning of 2024, most popular and well received automotive products.

Speaker Change: Okay.

Into to help quantify the overseas market.

Key drivers for our sales growth.

Jim: Okay. This is Jim.

Jim: So your question.

Absolutely the overseas market is very important to us.

Overseas strategy.

Is different from other automakers.

So we have established we have established a survey.

Servicing network seen several countries in the region such as is the custom in.

Jim: Need to Asia.

This servicing stores also helped us expand our market share in the overseas market regarding the choice of the overseas regionally.

Middle East and Central Asia will be our first target regions.

Building on this we will continue to explore and evaluate other market with high growth potential to expand our global footprint.

However, we are not considering entering western Europe, and North America for the time being thank you.

Your next question comes from Meng Stanley with Bofa.

Jim: Okay.

So you should go to you on that right now would it be union associated with the <unk>.

Speaker Change: Any change again.

So its institutional Eddie makes at Yahoo.

I'm going to start with and soft tissue hasher feature set for the potential surge about shonda.

Sure sure sure Nathan if you cannot you cannot ship developments at Chalmette.

Yes, it's actually if you don't ask yourself.

Jim: Since we launched it.

Call end to end BLM Thomas driving.

Jim: <unk>.

We view autonomous driving not no longer as a feature.

Jim: <unk> highway anyway, but more as a capability the ability to offer a supervised autonomous driving and that marks the change from a rule based algorithm into real AI model driven algorithm.

And for users the values are pretty significant I will give a few examples first of all in NPI or recall the miles per intervention.

<unk> increased very steadily as we increase the amount of training parent model parameters and training data.

And the increase is actually very very perfect, Andrew scaling law, which means companies with high quality training data will have a significant competitive advantage in the future.

Jim: In this industry in the future.

Second example, I want to give a.

Jim: <unk>, which is miles per accident have also been increasing steadily.

Jim: My estimate is that.

Jim: With this current end to end version.

The MTA is going to be three to five times compared to human drivers.

Jim: And lastly, as we increase the big model capability or active safety features like AEP Aes.

I have also been improving very significantly.

Number of severe accidents packet dropped dramatically.

And in terms of sales take rate 80 Max.

Jim: The grass valley.

The increase not only for cards priced over 300000.

Jim: But also for our fixed we have seen a very dramatic increase in.

Jim: <unk> take rate.

Jim: Okay.

Jim I don't know whats it been at the end of the wind Zouk whenever you do go limit that strongly in China.

Jim: It's just too.

So you'll just see a chance to reach.

Speaker Change: Got it.

Tony intended to assume you guys.

Well gentlemen, so again, so it may cause it to Josh.

XOMA Marty you sound like she is.

Women to Tony and John.

Speaker Change: <unk> B.

To them, it's not easy.

So the formula is notwithstanding.

Speaker Change: So what's our.

Planning for the charging station by the end of next year and how do you see current breakdown.

On building.

Station and also the charging essentially around by the third party and right now how do you start utilization, especially since you have so many charging station.

Speaker Change: Yeah.

BV Banca total population is still not high does this mean that many other brand you'll see charging Brent so.

Speaker Change: Charging station did not impact gross margin.

Jim: Okay. This is Jim.

Speaker Change #111: We'll take your question. So overall, we plan to establish the industry's largest OEM charging network.

Speaker Change #111: And Heaven absolutely.

And before new EV models come to market, we expect to have more charging stations.

Tesla in key cities for sales.

By the time, our new EV model launches. So we target to have more then.

Jim: In 2000 charging stations in operation.

Which we are a scale up to 4000 by the end of 2025 next year.

Jim: Our Super charging station network now covers.

Nine national highways.

Total of over 54000 kilometers with a coverage ratio of <unk>.

Six 3% of National Highway trunk lines.

By the end of 2025, we will build more than 1200, supercharging stations, along highways covering 90% of national high risk.

Jim: 10.

Jim: In addition to highway and urban coverage will be also selectively cargo immediately.

Jim: And no anticipated self driving route to meet the needs of our users for family travel.

Jim: For instance, or.

Mount Everest supercharger station tumors.

Operation in October this year, and we expect to achieve end to end coverage to national Highway.

Jim: And the National Highway 318 in April next year and also regarding the.

Cooperative supercharger station in the safety and so far we have already built more than 500, and we are expect we are expecting by end of next year. We also have this cooperative supercharging stations CPE Morton's resold it.

Jim: Thank you.

Your next question comes from Ken Zhang with HSBC.

Speaker Change #113: Hi, Nathan.

Speaker Change: Kingdom Lasalle honestly, you sound like tableau and season pass it onto where should we go home and to sell a whole bunch of Italian total 10 telephones dental laser.

Speaker Change: But I'll go ahead and doing that uhm, let him go.

Speaker Change #114: Interesting that's coming back.

How crazy busy machine snapping back.

So the first question is about the consolidation for the pricing category above 200, K, we discussed at the beginning of the year is the industry consolidation shaping the way as management I expected, how do we take that competition coming from the mass market brands High end model and tech brands Ultra lineup.

Speaker Change: And whether it is out there.

Speaker Change: But this is <unk>, Alex let me add to it.

And with the hard drive yourself, even though you.

Speaker Change: It will do that.

But we should see the EMEA.

Speaker Change: Well tayo, you'll have to Glenn <unk>.

It was a tough whether those are doubled dominion and Cowen <unk> company.

Well then you go into my time here none of that.

Doug the GDS video with Hugo.

The agenda coming out here with.

Speaker Change: With you.

Speaker Change: Our metallic.

Now I'll turn book.

Jim: Sure.

With me on the timing yet how daiichi.

Jim: Mango loco.

Jim: Electronics in them we are in the.

The akamai.

Jim: What we found.

Today, even before we launch our pure electric Suvs.

And increasing our market share versus definitely every quarter and it has reached 17, 3% in Q3 and for the longest time no matter who enters the market.

Jim: Fundamental challenges famous everyone.

Jim: Can we offer products that are.

Jim: Got off that provide the most value for our target users in their respective price range. That's the key to everything and our long term goal.

Jim: Still too.

Through our three PV in RV products together capture over 25% of market share.

The MLP market over 200000 RMB.

Jim: Okay.

Jim: Okay.

When he is asking women.

Dancing Simpson.

Got SUV MPV and the data to Dan kind of things and so I think they're going to do that.

Jim: Yeah.

Let's have a widget and adapting the <unk> proven tool that you will not hit.

Jim: Alongside that.

Speaker Change: Got it.

The second question is on the segment and boundary we noticed that more module supplier among the mid to larger sized family utility <unk> will the company management to see the boundary limits fault current segment or will family user market saturated to such an extent, which have the other segment.

That accompany with identifying promising.

Speaker Change #116: Oh no.

Congrats on the answers on the logic around <unk>.

Conversion I want to note data ingestion.

Speaker Change #115: Not yet.

Paul I'll take the Jacksonville, Columbia and of course, John hotels already within the Ghansham.

Speaker Change: Automotive.

Horizontal times, you've had the tornado jumped to download data digital cartoon that unites the way.

Speaker Change: <unk>.

Speaker Change: Sure.

Putting that in with your analogy.

Speaker Change: Yeah.

My view is that we have only started to scratch the surface in terms of family users market.

Actually if you take into account the power of AI.

Changes temporal powered by AI in terms of autonomous driving.

Our cockpit experience, there's going to be so much room for imagination for family users. So in this regard we're not in a rush.

Speaker Change: There are new markets and the other off surety is pure electric our best markets.

Speaker Change: If you look at the market.

Their products over 300000 RMB.

There is no product that offers the equivalent of a comparable product Val.

Speaker Change: Value to alpha.

Now eight or nine so there is simply no good supply and we believe that's another big opportunity for us so whether it's AI or bad.

That market, we think they're big.

Opportunities in terms of large Suvs for family users. So this is something we will continue to.

Speaker Change: Yes.

To explore before we look at other potential markets are in niche markets.

In analogy would be we actually have in golden ball in our hands.

Speaker Change: Begging with Goldman <unk>.

Speaker Change: Your next question comes from Gil Yang with <unk>.
