Chinese electric vehicle maker Zeekr said on ramazanda porno izlemek günahm?Wednesday it has obtained a license to test its Level 3 partially autonomous driving system from the government of the eastern city of Hangzhou, two months after getting a similar permit in Shanghai.

The Hangzhou-headquartered and Geely-affiliated firm also announced it will integrate NVIDIA’s next-generation centralized car computer “Thor” into its first hybrid model, a flagship sports utility vehicle, scheduled for launch in the second half of 2025. The other two new models, the 7X crossover and the Mix van, will go on sale later this year and feature Zeekr’s in-house assisted driving tech, powered by two NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips that offers a combined 508 trillion operations per second (or TOPS).
