China's electric vehicle (EV) industry has rapidly ascended, surprising global auto leaders like Ford's CEO, Jim Farley. At the Aspen Ideas Summit, he described his multiple visits to China as "the most humbling thing", praising the country's automotive technology. Farley noted that Chinese vehicles feature advanced in-vehicle technology, far surpassing typical offerings in the U.S. He specifically mentioned tech giants like Huawei and Xiaomi, whose integration enhances user experience with automatic phone mirroring, AI companions, and seamless in-car payment systems. This innovative approach positions China as a formidable competitor in the EV market.
"It's the most humbling thing I've ever seen," Farley said, speaking of his trips to China at the Aspen Ideas Summit on Friday.
"They have far superior in-vehicle technology," Ford's CEO said.
As Farley tells it, Chinese firms have taken the in-vehicle digital experience up several notches, something our staff has noticed during visits to the country too.
"Huawei and Xiaomi are in every car," Farley said, referring to two of China's tech giants.
