Ex-NIO Tech Lead Departs; Exec Denies Chip Involvement
NIO’s Chief Technology Planning Expert, Hu Chengchen, has departed the company. Initial reports linked his departure to chip development, citing a user-generated Baidu Baike entry. However, NIO’s Assistant VP of Brand and Communication clarified that Hu was not involved in chip development, but rather the company’s long-term technology roadmap. This comes as NIO rolls out its in-house World Model and its NX9031 intelligent driving chip, which a company executive stated contributed to increased profit margins.
