CHONGQING, China, October 1, 2025 — On September 28, Chongqing Qianli Technology Co., Ltd. officially launched under its new English brand name, Afari Technology, during a high-profile event titled “A New Rhythm for Chongqing, Afari’s Smart Driving – A Night for AI Smart Driving & Afari Technology Brand Launch” held in Chongqing. This event marked not only the company’s debut but also the unveiling of its comprehensive AI-driven strategy focused on transforming the future of mobility through innovation in intelligent driving, smart cabins, and robotics.
A Name Symbolizing Vision and Roots
The rebranding to “Afari” blends the concept of “Afar” with “Intelligence,” emphasizing the company’s ambition to extend its reach globally while maintaining a firm foundation in Chongqing. This aligns with its Chinese name “Qianli,” which embodies the aspiration to serve worldwide markets from its home base.
The Afari AI Plan: “AI + Vehicle + Robotics”
Afari Technology’s core strategy centers on the integration of artificial intelligence with vehicles and robotics, aiming to capitalize on Chongqing’s strengths in connected intelligent vehicles and new energy vehicles. The company highlighted three pivotal development domains:
-
Intelligent Driving: Utilizing large AI models and reinforcement learning techniques, Afari endeavors to provide safer, smarter, and smoother driving experiences. This includes enhancing autonomous capabilities that allow vehicles to adapt to diverse environments intelligently.
-
Intelligent Cabins: Afari is developing next-generation agent operating systems powered by expansive AI models and intelligent agents. These systems promise natural interactions, integrated memory functions, and the creation of what the company terms a “third living space” inside the vehicle, redefining user experience during transit.
-
Intelligent Mobility: Accelerating the deployment of Robotaxi services and crafting level 4 autonomous driving solutions, Afari aims to offer personalized mobile spaces that transform how people commute and interact with mobility.
Technological Edge and Market Progress
Afari Technology employs end-to-end models and large-scale multimodal frameworks combined with reinforcement learning to minimize reliance on specific data distributions. This approach enhances the system’s model integration capabilities while striking a balance between performance and cost-efficiency.
Currently, Afari’s intelligent driving system has been installed in over one million vehicles, reflecting significant market penetration. Looking ahead, the company plans to launch a level 3 autonomous driving solution by the end of 2025 and introduce a level 4 solution in 2026, steadily progressing towards fully operational Robotaxi services.
