Speaking at the 2026 Physical AI and World Models Conference, Momenta CEO Cao Xudong said world models are accelerating what he calls a "smart-driving Moore's Law" — a trend of driving safety and performance improving tenfold every two years — according to 36Kr and IT之家. He forecast that 2028 will be an important inflection point for scaled L4 autonomous driving, and that leading companies could achieve tenfold annual gains in safety and performance between 2026 and 2028, driven by world models plus data and model scaling. IT之家, citing a Xinhua report, added that Momenta has cumulatively delivered over 1.3 million vehicles with close to 20 billion kilometers driven, and that its sibling chip company XHEART claims its next-generation X9 chip will support 100 times larger on-device models.
