Baidu, China’s largest internet search services provider and a national champion in artificial intelligence, has jointly launched with Chery Automobile its first production-model electric vehicle built with an AI operating system, escalating efforts by domestic car manufacturers to embed more advanced technologies into their products.

A new version of the Exeed TX, an electric sports utility vehicle that Chery first sold in China last year, will have Baidu’s DuerOS, an AI platform that supports face-scanning payment, augmented reality navigation and remote control of home appliances among other features, according to a WeChat post by Baidu on Monday.
