座艙代理核心能力
基礎模型時代的AI智能體是基於LLM,其強大的推理能力拓展了AI智能體的應用場景,運行過程中獲得的回饋可以提高基礎模型的思考能力。在座艙中,智能體的能力典範大致分為 "理解" + "規劃" + "工具使用" + "反思" 。
當代理第一次開始駕駛時,認知和規劃能力變得更加重要。理解任務目標並選擇執行路徑直接決定了效能結果的準確性,進而影響智能體的場景使用率。
例如,在Xiaomi的語音互動過程中,語意理解是整個汽車語音處理過程的困難。XiaoAi透過語意分析模型來處理語意分析。
智能量體產後,一大亮點將是支援使用者自訂場景模式的個人化座艙,以及不斷學習和優化的智慧體工作流程,反思成為現階段最重要的核心能力。
例如理想汽車提供的理想同學,支援一句話場景的創建。這是由 Mind GPT 的內建記憶體網路和線上強化學習功能提供支援。 Mind GPT 可以根據過去的對話來記住個人化的偏好和習慣。如果重複出現類似的場景,可以透過歷史資料自動設定該場景的參數,以符合使用者的初衷。
在AI OS的架構配置層面,以SAIC Z-One為例。
Z-One在核心層存取LLM核心(LLM OS),與原有微內核控制AI OS SDK和ASF的接口,AI OS SDK接收LLM的調度並控制AI OS SDK和ASF的接口ASF在應用層促進Agent服務框架。 Z-One AI OS架構高度整合AI和CPU。透過 SOA 原子服務,AI 連接到車輛的感測器、執行器和控制器。此架構基於端雲基礎架構模型,可增強終端側基礎架構模型的算力,降低運行時延。
座艙AI 代理應用難度等級
代理程式與使用者連線並執行指令。在應用過程中,除了基礎模型安裝在汽車上的技術困難外,還面臨場景的困難。在命令接收-語意分析-意圖推理-任務執行的過程中,表現結果的準確性和人機互動的延遲直接影響使用者的騎乘體驗。
互動人性化
例如,在 "情感顧問" 場景中,代理商需要對車主進行情感上的共情,並進行擬人化。一般來說,AI體的擬人化有三種形式:物理擬人化、人格擬人化和情感擬人化。
本報告針對中國汽車產業進行調查分析,提供座艙AI智能體技術及應用資訊。
Cockpit AI Agent: Autonomous scenario creation becomes the first step to personalize cockpits
In AI Foundation Models' Impacts on Vehicle Intelligent Design and Development Research Report, 2024, ResearchInChina mentioned that the core of an AI Agent uses a large language model (LLM) as its core computing engine (LLM OS). In the AI service framework, the LLM acts as AI core and the Agent acts as AI APP. With the help of reasoning and generation capabilities of AI foundation model, the Agent can create more cockpit scenarios, while further improving current multimodal interaction, voice processing and other technologies in the cockpit.
Compared with the traditional OS, AI OS is programmed in natural language, which is more suitable for human operation and convenient for customization and personalized human-computer interaction. The Agent responds to user prompts or instructions in natural language, and can perform a lot of tasks according to its interaction with physical or digital environment.
Foundation models spawn Agent customized scenarios
Since AI foundation models were installed in cars, they have been widely used in multimodal interaction scenarios. OEMs have started from voice assistants to further improve intelligent processing of user commands:
Before foundation models got on cars, the wake-up rate and effective instructions of voice assistants in cockpits are at a low level;
After foundation models were available in cars, not only has voice recognition become more intelligent, but the application of expression monitoring and gesture control have also been improved, with effective commands and daily active rates increasing significantly.
AI foundation models further enhance the user experience of smart cockpits through strong context processing and reasoning capabilities. Please refer to the following dialogue:
(Mobility scenario)
-**Tongxue! (the name of a voice assistant)
I am here!
There seems to be a prairie ahead. Please take a picture for me!
Wait a moment, and I will capture the beautiful scenariory of the prairie for you. I'll let you know when the photo is taken. Is there anything else I can help you with?
Send it to Moments immediately. I want my friends to have a look at this beautiful scenariory.
Ok, according to your authorized account, please choose the material and filter style.
Just this one, with a caption.
Ok, three captions have been generated for you. Which one do you like?
Just this one.
(You enter the office and receive a phone call)
There is a phone call from a customer, and I have transferred it to the IVI for you. Would you like to answer it?
Yes, and turn on the office mode.
Ok, I will generate an avatar of the customer for you and start the conversation. Do you have any questions or things to discuss? I will record the conversation and provide you with the minutes of the meeting after it is over.
(The avatar is generated)
Now you can start the conversation.
The above scenarios will not be materialized in the cockpit until 2024 when foundation models are installed on vehicles by some OEMs.
For example, IM L6 has built Carlog and City Drive scenarios to enable the AI foundation models to proactively recommend food and attractions and allow users to post them on social media:
Carlog: Actively perceive the scenario during driving through AI vision foundation model, mobilize four cameras to take photos, automatically save and edit them, and support one-click share in Moments.
City Drive: Cooperate with Volcengine to model nearby food, scenic spots and landmarks in real time in the digital screen, and push them according to users' habits and preferences.
The applicability of foundation models in various scenarios has stimulated users' demand for intelligent agents that can uniformly manage cockpit functions. In 2024, OEMs such as NIO, Li Auto, and Hozon successively launched Agent frameworks, using voice assistants as the starting point to manage functions and applications in cockpits.
Agent service frameworks can not only manage cockpit functions in a unified way, but also provide more abundant scenario modes according to customers' needs and preferences, especially supporting customized scenarios for users, which accelerates the advent of the cockpit personalization era.
For example, NIO's NOMI GPT allows users to set an AI scenario with just one sentence:
Core competence of cockpit Agents
AI Agents in the era of foundation models are based on LLMs, whose powerful reasoning expands the applicable scenarios of AI Agents that can improve the thinking capability of foundation models through feedback obtained during operation. In the cockpit, the Agent capability paradigm can be roughly divided into "Understanding" + "Planning" + "Tool Use" + "Reflection".
When Agents first get on cars, cognitive and planning abilities are more important. The understanding of task goals and the choice of implementation paths directly determine the accuracy of performance results, which in turn affect the scenario utilization rate of Agents.
For example, in Xiaomi's voice interaction process, semantic understanding is the difficulty of the entire automotive voice processing process. XiaoAi handles semantic parsing through a semantic parsing model.
After the mass production of Agents, the personalized cockpits that support users to customize scenario modes become the highlight, and Reflection becomes the most important core competence at this stage, so it is necessary to build an Agentic Workflow that is constantly learning and optimizing.
For example, Lixiang Tongxue offered by Li Auto supports the creation of one-sentence scenarios. It is backed by Mind GPT's built-in memory network and online reinforcement learning capabilities. Mind GPT can remember personalized preferences and habits based on historical conversations. When similar scenarios recur, it can automatically set scenario parameters through historical data to fit the user's original intentions.
At the AI OS architecture setting level, we take SAIC Z-One as an example:
Z-One accesses the LLM kernel (LLM OS) at the kernel layer, which controls the interfaces of AI OS SDK and ASF with the original microkernel respectively, in which AI OS SDK receives the scheduling of the LLM to promote the Agent service framework of the application layer. The Z-One AI OS architecture highly integrates AI with CPU. Through SOA atomic services, AI is then connected to the vehicle's sensors, actuators and controllers. This architecture, based on a terminal-cloud foundation model, can enhance the computing power of the terminal-side foundation model and reduce operational latency.
Application Difficulty of Cockpit AI Agents
Agents connect to users and execute commands. In the application process, in addition to the technical difficulties of putting foundation models on cars, they also face scenario difficulties. In the process of command reception-semantic analysis-intention reasoning-task execution, the accuracy of the performance results and the delay in human-computer interaction directly affect the user's riding experience.
Humanization of interaction
For example, in the "emotional consultant" scenario, Agents should resonate emotionally with car owners and perform anthropomorphism. Generally, there are three forms of anthropomorphism of AI Agents: physical anthropomorphism, personality anthropomorphism, and emotional anthropomorphism.
Foundation model performance
In the "encyclopedia question and answer" scenario, Agents may be unable to answer the user's questions, especially open questions, accurately because of LLM illusion after semantic analysis, database search, answer generation and the like.
Current solutions include advanced prompting, RAG+knowledge graph, ReAct, CoT/ToT, etc., which cannot completely eliminate "LLM illusion". In the cockpit, external databases, RAG, self-consistency and other methods are more often used to reduce the frequency of "LLM illusion".
Some foundation model manufacturers have improved the above solutions. For example, Meta has proposed to reduce "LLM illusion" through Chain-of-Verification (CoVe). This method breaks down fact-checking into more detailed sub-questions to improve response accuracy and is consistent with the human-driven fact-checking process. It can effectively improve the FACTSCORE indicator in long-form generation tasks.
