# China: Nio and intelligent vehicle ecosystem bet on AI

> In China, Nio and its leader Li Bin present the smart electric car as the main AI application market, with an estimated value of over 1,200 billion dollars, while authorities recognize industrial clusters, launch a national standard and SAE China highlights smart vehicles. The case also shows the rise of China's autonomous driving ecosystem, from Momenta to a possible joint venture with SAIC, up to the expected arrival of L3 in 2028. Internationally, Germany stands out through Mercedes-Benz's choice to use Momenta, a sign of Chinese technology transfer to a legacy automaker. Brazilian and American coverage does not provide a distinct national sub-event in this case.
