Great Wall Motor

Great Wall Motor is a Chinese automaker with a 35-year history that has built a reputation around safety-first engineering and steady, incremental progress in vehicle intelligence . The company's CTO Wu Huixiao describes it as a company that "is afraid" — meaning it prioritizes user safety over flashy features, a philosophy traced back to its early days equipping pickups and SUVs with standard safety features like airbags and ABS when competitors charged extra for them . In autonomous driving, Great Wall has pursued a VLA (Vision-Language-Action) model approach for its CP Master assisted-driving system, emphasizing what it calls "lower-bound" safety and interpretability through chain-of-thought reasoning cards and defensive-driving visual cues rather than racing rivals on capability demos . The company began working on assisted driving as early as 2021 with its Wey Mocha model, though it deliberately limited initial rollouts to highway-only NOH for safety reasons .
