Zebra Smart Access integrates Alipay AI Pay Vehicle Version, completing key smart cockpit component
On April 24, during the Beijing Auto Show, Alipay and Zhi Ma Intelligent unveiled a new AI cockpit solution that integrates Alipay's "AI Pay" in-vehicle version. This marks a shift for intelligent cockpits—from simply listening and speaking to handling payments and tasks. Currently, the solution covers two high-frequency scenarios: entertainment and travel. Car owners can use voice commands to complete AI-driven purchases such as tickets, hotel bookings, and meal orders.

"Over the past two years, intelligent cockpits have advanced significantly in perception and decision-making capabilities. With large models applied in vehicles, cars can understand and recommend, but at the final step, users still need to pull out their phones to scan a code for payment—that's been the last gap in the AI cockpit experience," said Cai Ming, CPO of Zhi Ma Intelligent. "Integrating Alipay's AI Pay in-vehicle version means this gap is now completely closed."
Intelligence has overtaken electrification as the main battleground for automakers. Payment, as the final link in in-vehicle services, is essential for creating a complete closed-loop experience. Most intelligent cockpits today have not yet evolved to support native AI payments. By integrating Alipay's AI Pay in-vehicle version, Zhi Ma Intelligent is precisely filling this critical service gap.
Alipay's AI Pay in-vehicle version is not simply porting mobile payments into the car; instead, it reengineers payment capabilities with an AI Agent at its core. Leveraging Zhi Ma's Yuan Shen AI natural language understanding, users can complete the entire process—from service activation and information confirmation to payment settlement—using only voice commands. For example, saying "Buy two movie tickets for me" prompts the AI to select showtimes and seats, and the driver can confirm payment by voice, without needing to switch screens or scan a code.

For in-car AI shopping scenarios, Zhi Ma Intelligent has specially adapted Alipay's voiceprint recognition, multi-dimensional risk control, and real-time anti-fraud capabilities to ensure each transaction is "convenient without compromising security, and secure without sacrificing experience." Currently, this new intelligent cockpit solution has completed technical integration with several major OEMs, and related services are expected to roll out gradually with new models in the second half of 2026.
