Geely and china meteorological administration launch advanced traffic weather model capable of identifying hazardous road conditions

Geely Automobile Group and the China Meteorological Administration's Earth System Numerical Prediction Center formalized a strategic cooperation framework agreement on November 5, 2026. This partnership resulted in the joint development of the industry's first 'Zhixiang-Xingrui Traffic Weather Large Model,' which focuses on extreme weather scenarios such as fog and icing. This model provides real-time, lane-level monitoring and alerts for environmental conditions, supporting enhanced safety and autonomous driving reliability in complex weather. The initial product, the 'Ultra-line-of-sight Safety Warning' feature, can identify hazards like icing by leveraging multi-vehicle connectivity, addressing blind spots where visibility drops suddenly or black ice forms on shaded sections. The technology is slated for initial mass production implementation in the Lynk & Co 900L, with future application across Geely, Galaxy, Lynk & Co, and Zeekr models. Furthermore, Geely plans to release an industry-first 'General Weather Model' in the first quarter of 2027. The entities will also collaborate on advancing the national standard suggestion for data collection and processing in intelligent connected vehicles' weather environments.
