KOTEI Global Intelligent Navigation: Born for the Car, Driven by You

In the wave of automotive intelligence, navigation is no longer a mere route-guidance tool—it has become the core entry point for cockpit interaction and a critical touchpoint for user trust. As Chinese automakers accelerate their global expansion, an intelligent navigation system that truly understands driver intent, covers the globe, and stays always online has become an essential benchmark for a "great smart car."

KOTEI introduces its global "Intelligent Navigation Solution" — KINav Global Streaming Navigation × Navi Agent. This is a production-ready globalization solution designed to help automakers deliver truly intelligent and reliable mobility experiences to users worldwide, with shorter lead times and lower costs.

KINav Global Streaming Navigation – Always-Online Mobility Assurance

The core pain point of traditional in-vehicle navigation is "lag" — roads change, but maps don't update. KINav, powered by real-time cloud synchronization, completes updates in milliseconds, ensuring that new roads, closures, and traffic restrictions are presented in real time. Even in weak-signal areas such as tunnels or mountainous regions, KINav maintains navigation continuity through pre-loaded road network graphs and multi-sensor fusion positioning. Speed limit information is directly sourced from the map data layer, ensuring real-time accuracy. For EVs, KINav calculates energy consumption and range degradation in real time, automatically planning charging stops.

Currently, KINav covers over 200 countries and regions across North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and East Asia, with more than 77 million kilometers of road network data — all powered by a single unified global base.

Navi Agent – A True Mobility Companion That Understands You

Navi Agent is not a tool that merely responds to commands; it is an intelligent companion that understands intent and delivers proactive services. It comprehends natural language and retains conversational context.

• Message Recognition & Multi-Waypoint Navigation — Deeply integrated into daily travel scenarios. If the user receives a message like "Stop by the supermarket to buy a carton of milk on your way," the system automatically recognizes the intent and, with user consent, adds a waypoint or modifies the destination.

• Proactive Search & Recommendations — Understands user preferences. When the user says "Find a family-friendly restaurant nearby," the system delivers precise, tailored recommendations instantly.

• Full-Scenario Long-Trip Butler — Automatically identifies long-distance travel intent and, based on time, location, and vehicle range, intelligently recommends charging stations, restaurants, and accommodations at optimal points along the route.

• Newbie Guide & Knowledge Q&A — Equipped with a rich knowledge base, it proactively guides new users through features and answers questions in real time, reducing the learning curve and alleviating customer service pressure for automakers.

One Solution, Systematically Addressing Global Expansion Challenges

For Chinese automakers going global, navigation is the most frequent interaction point and a clear gap in intelligent experience. Different overseas markets require different map providers, with multiple licenses and extended maintenance cycles driving up costs. Overseas users demand strict compliance with voice interaction, localized content, and regulations.

KOTEI's Global Intelligent Navigation Solution incorporates compliance readiness for data regulations across markets. "KINav + Navi Agent" covers major global markets with a single solution, unified standard interfaces, and integration cycles of just 2–6 weeks — significantly reducing development and operational costs. Leveraging map data from leading global providers such as HERE and Yandex, KOTEI has already delivered mass-production solutions for multiple vehicle models, with road testing covering Middle Eastern deserts, European highways, East Asian urban centers, and Southeast Asian tropical conditions — validated and proven in the field.

Driving globally, navigating without boundaries. Navigation is the first touchpoint through which users perceive intelligent experiences. KOTEI's Global Intelligent Navigation Solution — with "one map, one assistant, one solution" — helps automakers efficiently address the navigation gap in overseas models, enabling users worldwide to enjoy the same level of intelligent mobility experience as in China. We look forward to partnering with global collaborators to drive the continuous evolution of intelligent navigation technology and co-create a new future for smart mobility.
