JIDU Unveils Showroom Where New Cars Will Roll Up Autonomously After Purchase
JIDU invites its Shanghai customers into a futuristic showroom where newly purchased EV cars roll right up to the front door autonomously.
With electric vehicles shaking up the industry, the car buying experience itself is evolving at breakneck speed. Brands like Tesla have altered customer expectations, fashioning model showrooms rather than promoting traditional dealerships to woo curious buyers. Chinese automotive manufacturer Geely, the owners of Volvo, Polestar, Lynk & Co, Proton, and Lotus, is making a similar investment in support of their homegrown AI-operated autonomous robocar brand, JIDU, with a stark modern showroom designed to amplify the promise of an electrified and autonomous future.
Launched in 2021, the joint venture with tech giant Baidu is currently represented by the JIDU Robo-01 electric SUV, with a follow up Robo-02 electric sedan coming soon, each engineered with autonomous driving technology at the heart of their e-car experience. The newly opened showroom in Shanghai consists of three areas spanning the first floor of a luxury shopping center situated in Lujiazui Financial Centre.
Fronted by a prominent JIDU logo across the showroom’s exterior, guests are ushered through two entrances connected into an illuminated tunnel hallway to eventually emerge into an austere metallic paneled, minimalist showroom with a large-scale multimedia installation engineered to alter content and lighting according to the movement of guests.
