From Flagship Sedan to Luxury SUV: UISEE's Intelligent Driving Solution Now in Series Production on the All-New Cadillac XT5

2026-10-23

Following

the Buick LaCrosse, UISEE's intelligent driving solution has once again landed

on a series-production model from a joint-venture brand. The all-new Cadillac

XT5, a luxury SUV, has officially been launched, with UISEE serving as the core

technology partner and working in close collaboration with industry ecosystem

partners to provide the intelligent

driving software products for both the gasoline version and the PHEV

intelligent all-wheel-drive Air version. The same platform-based solution

now serves a flagship sedan and a luxury SUV alike, progressively validating

its cross-model, cross-powertrain series-production reuse capability.

Since

entering the Chinese market in 2016, the XT5 has grown into one of the pillar

models in Cadillac's product portfolio in China, thanks to its diamond-cut design language, class-above

spaciousness and refined, luxurious ride quality. On the intelligent

driving front, the XT5 has been equipped with ADAS features since its very

first generation and has continued to advance with each model year. The all-new

XT5 crystallizes this accumulated expertise into a more mature integrated driving-and-parking intelligent

assistance experience, offering users safer, more comfortable support for

daily commuting and long-distance travel.

With

a decade of deep expertise in autonomous driving, UISEE builds on its

full-stack, in-house developed U-Drive®

system as the technology foundation. Its capability portfolio spans L4

high-level driverless driving and L2 production-ready assisted driving, with

implementation experience covering commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles,

closed scenarios and open roads. UISEE has consistently adhered to its "dual-wheel-drive" strategy

across commercial and passenger vehicles, focusing on high value-for-money intelligent driving

solutions. Working hand in hand with industry chain partners, the company

steadily advances the vision of "intelligence

parity between ICE and EV," enabling vehicles of all kinds to enjoy

the same high-quality intelligent mobility experience.

When

evaluating the performance of an intelligent driving system, hardware

specifications should never be the only yardstick. For high-volume production

models, cost and power constraints are an everyday reality: chip compute has

its ceiling, but the pursuit of driving experience knows none. Resolving this

tension comes down to algorithm design and software engineering.

The

series-production launch of the all-new XT5 is a real-world test of exactly

that craft. Within a 20 TOPS compute budget, UISEE has adopted a disciplined,

budget-conscious approach: relentlessly slimming model structures,

comprehensively rebuilding the algorithm architecture, and refining software

engineering so that every bit of compute is channeled to where it matters most.

What ultimately reaches the production vehicle is an intelligent driving

experience that is crisp in response,

robust in operation and smooth in feel.

For

daily use, the driving functions of the all-new XT5's intelligent driving

system center on three high-frequency scenarios: commuting, highway driving and

congestion. HoLCA lane-centering assist

works in tandem with full-speed-range ACC, allowing the vehicle to

automatically follow traffic while maintaining lane centering — making

peak-hour car-following more effortless and genuinely reducing driver workload

on long journeys.

Notably,

the "Smooth Stop" feature has

launched in series production on the gasoline version of the all-new XT5, with

PHEV variants also equipped. Similar features in the industry are more

commonly seen on PHEV or EV models, where the fast response and high control

precision of electric motors make smooth braking relatively straightforward. On

ICE vehicles, however, the engine and transmission introduce inherent

nonlinearity and latency in torque response, making equally smooth longitudinal

braking control a significantly greater engineering challenge.

To

overcome this, UISEE's R&D team went deep into the planning and control

stack, redesigning and matching the underlying control logic based on the

mechanical dynamics of the ICE powertrain, while making targeted optimizations

to the upper-level planning and control algorithms. Powered by this core control algorithm, the system effectively

compensates for the mechanical latency of the fuel powertrain, giving the

gasoline XT5 the same "Smooth Stop" driving experience, with

driving jerks and nose-dive motion effectively suppressed — turning the journey

ahead into a smooth, composed ride. Deploying this feature across both

powertrain versions has been made possible by the close collaboration between

UISEE and automaker partners, whose engineering teams worked side by side

through repeated rounds of refinement and validation, making series production

delivery a natural culmination of joint effort.

From

the Buick LaCrosse to the Cadillac XT5, the same platform-based solution now

covers sedans and SUVs, ICE and PHEV powertrains alike. Consecutive

series-production deliveries demonstrate the engineering maturity of UISEE's

passenger-vehicle intelligent driving solution, and pave the way for more

models on the same platform to follow.

Sustaining

these deliveries is a systematic R&D assurance capability. UISEE has

previously passed the Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) Capability Level 3 assessment,

achieving organizational-level standardization in automotive software

development, project management and quality control that meets the core entry

requirements of global mainstream automakers. Combined with the ISO 26262

ASIL-D product certification obtained earlier, the two together form an

intelligent driving R&D assurance system covering "functional safety + process quality."

Guided

by its "AI Driver" vision, UISEE hones advanced capabilities in L4

driverless scenarios while channeling proven technology into L2 production

models. In UISEE's engineering culture, "99

points equals 0" is an iron rule — L4 driverless driving has no human

fallback, so the pursuit of safety must be uncompromising. The passenger-vehicle product line fully inherits this safety

philosophy and carries it through the development and validation of every

production program. Looking ahead, the company will continue to serve as a

solid technology foundation within the industry chain, deepening collaboration

with automakers and core technology ecosystem partners to bring the safe,

precise and robust "AI Driver" to more production models and more

users' daily journeys.
