Alibaba's Qwen has launched an AI-powered ride-hailing feature that lets users book taxis using natural language commands. Users can specify preferences like vehicle type, stops, and scheduling by speaking or typing. The system handles intent recognition, vehicle matching, and fare estimation automatically, with payments via Alipay's AI Pay. The feature supports complex requests such as booking a van for six people or setting constraints like 'under 20 yuan' or 'no taxis'.
