Jianwei Zhang, Vice President of Lightwheel Intelligent Solutions, responsible for the research, development, and delivery of synthetic data and end-to-end autonomous driving simulation toolchains. With years of experience in autonomous driving simulation and synthetic data, previously served as a simulation expert at Alibaba DAMO Academy’s Autonomous Driving Lab and NIO. He led teams to build the largest heterogeneous simulation platform in China, supporting simulation testing of over one million kilometers per day.

The Pop in Your Job – What drives you? Why do you love your job?
By integrating generative AI with simulation technology, we are building an end-to-end autonomous driving simulation toolchain that generates 3D physically realistic synthetic data, enhancing the utilization of real-world data, reducing data acquisition costs, and accelerating the R&D iteration of autonomous driving and embodied intelligence. I firmly believe in the immense value of data for AI—making AI smarter through synthetic data and verifying AI’s intelligence through simulation is of great significance.
