   NIO Adds Door-Opening Warning Imaging Across Models

   NIO founder and chairman Li Bin said the vehicle-wide door-opening warning imaging feature can display the corresponding side-rear exterior view on the center or rear control screen when a passenger unfastens their seat belt or prepares to open a door. When a collision risk is detected, the system issues light and sound warnings. The screen can split to show both sides when passengers on the left and right prepare to exit. Powered by the Shenji NX9031 chip, the feature is available on the new ES8, ET9 and ES9, the 2025 and 2026 ES6 and EC6, and the 2026 Onvo L60, L80 and L90. Users can manually enable or disable it through the vehicle settings menu.

   CPCA links AI memory squeeze to China's 28% September retail slump

   A commentary published via TMTPost reports that China Passenger Car Association (CPCA) data show September 2026 passenger car retail sales of 1.618 million units, down 28.0% year on year — the year's largest monthly decline and, the article says, the biggest September drop since CPCA began compiling the series. The piece says the CPCA monthly report used unusually blunt language about a weak peak season and shrinking fuel-car demand, and that it linked slower launches of new energy models to memory and chip price surges and tight supply driven by the AI industry chain — which the article describes as the first time CPCA has tied AI supply-chain competition to weak domestic retail. It also cites October 1–11 retail of 459,000 units, down 24%, a 67.0% NEV retail penetration record, a 43% drop in fuel-car retail, and exports of 917,000 units, up 73.7%.

   NIO's Li Bin sets payment, perceived safety as autonomous-driving 'second half' tests

   Speaking at the 2026 World Intelligent Connected Vehicles Conference in a dialogue session, NIO founder, chairman and CEO Li Bin said autonomous driving's "second half" should be judged by two verifiable measures: whether users are willing to pay for the function, and whether they can clearly perceive it as safer than human driving. He said that if users will not pay, autonomous driving creates no real user value however well it is described, and he has previously argued that NIO's assisted-driving subscription funds fulfillment, training, connectivity and upgrade costs. Li also said NIO's assisted-driving system, built on a world-model architecture plus closed-loop reinforcement learning, is deployed on more than 950,000 smart EVs, with over 9.14 billion km of assisted driving, 112 million hours of use and 9.07 million potential accidents avoided or mitigated; he cited internal data putting average safety mileage in driver-plus-system operation at 8 times human driving, and four insurers' data showing accident-related losses falling, reported by IT之家 and 36Kr as either over 30% or 38.4%.

   NIO firefly aster 2.1.0 OTA upgrades Lumo GPT assistant

   NIO's firefly brand said on October 14 that version 2.1.0 of its aster software is rolling out to cars. The update adds microphone karaoke, a vinyl section in QQ Music and resume-position memory for Himalaya and NIO Radio in the cabin, and upgrades the Lumo voice partner's Lumo GPT, which the company says now answers more accurately, explains more clearly and converses more naturally. It also adds an arrival/departure greeting and a tailgate-opening space reminder, and refines guard mode, 2.4GHz/5GHz hotspot sharing and parking-assist prompts during battery swaps. The capability improvements are the vendor's own claims; the report cites no independent testing.
