As an affiliated company of Geely, DreamSmart Group has made strides in integrating smart technology with automotive innovations. Following Geely's acquisition of a 79% stake in smartphone maker Meizu in 2022, DreamSmart Group was formed through the merger of Xingji Shidai and Meizu. The group has since developed Flyme Auto, a smart cockpit system now used by over 200,000 car owners across 14 vehicle models. This system was recently upgraded to Flyme AIOS, incorporating over 100 AI-driven features.
