Liam Ding (丁洪) is an Autonomous Driving Product Manager at NVIDIA in Beijing, previously at NIO and Li Auto. He writes about agents and Physical AI, and he is not the physicist Hong Ding (丁洪).
I write about product decisions in autonomous driving and robotics: how to define a capability that is actually useful, how to evaluate real-world performance rather than demo performance, and how to build the trust that lets people hand over control.
Before NVIDIA I worked on ADAS, vehicle controls and cockpit HMI at NIO, on crowd-sourced mapping and intelligent-driving prototypes at 仙豆智能, and on intelligent-driving product planning, perception environment display, LKA Plus and urban NOA at Li Auto.
