Alibaba's research arm has released Qwen-Drive 1.0, an AI model that handles environmental perception, traffic Q&A, and route planning in one system. The researchers show that text-image models don't automatically understand three-dimensional space. Spatial awareness has to be trained on purpose. The goal is a single model that runs both the cockpit and the driving system.
