With the deep integration of automobiles with technologies such as artificial intelligence, information and communication, and electrical automation, smart connected vehicles have gradually evolved into a new generation of mobile intelligent terminals, driving a complete transformation in transportation methods. SAIC-GM-Wuling (SGMW), which has maintained its position as the top-selling single automotive enterprise in China for 14 consecutive years with total sales exceeding 29 million vehicles, is the Chinese car company with the largest user base. Under its Wuling brand, positioned as "enhancing the quality of mobility for the people," it remains true to its mission by consistently providing users with high-quality mobility solutions. 

 

Wuling's new compact SUV, Wuling Starlight S, debuted in 2024, with a cumulative sales volume of 21,577 units in 80 days. Starlight S is built on the Tianyu Architecture D platform and upgraded the traditional factory assembly line production to island production with the "Tianling model", further improving production efficiency. With "S-class ultra-large space, S-class ultra-low energy consumption, S-class ultra-high safety, and S-class ultra-comfortable experience," it enhances the quality of mobility, achieving dual power capabilities in a single vehicle.

Advantages of OTA upgrade: One-stop from cloud to vehicle, providing a complete and flexible solution

  • Flexibility: When a vehicle encounters issues, automakers can resolve software problems through over-the-air (OTA) updates, significantly reducing costs for the manufacturer and wait times for consumers. 
  • Diversity: New functions can be introduced, including updates for applications or human-machine interface experiences, such as optional autonomous driving packages, paid OTA upgrades, and connected car subscription services. This enables a "thousand cars, thousand faces" approach to meet diverse and customized needs. 
  • Safety: The OTA solution platform from Carota is based on comprehensive threat modeling and provides targeted measures for detecting, blocking, and recovering from each type of attack. It ensures that software system vulnerabilities can be addressed promptly through OTA updates, minimizing or even eliminating security risks.
