Big Recall, Local AI: China’s Auto Market Grapples with Safety and a New Wave of On‑shore Autonomy Training

FAW‑Volkswagen has recalled 206,012 domestically produced Audi Q2L cars over adhesive failures that can cause C‑pillar covers to detach. At the same time Tesla has activated a China‑based AI training centre to tailor driver assistance systems to local conditions. Together these developments illustrate the tension between fast localisation of manufacturing and the push to develop on‑shore AI capabilities for autonomy.
