Huawei's Intelligent Automotive Solutions Propel New Vehicle Innovations in China

Huawei’s Intelligent Automotive Impact in China

In 2024, the automotive landscape in China is undergoing a remarkable transformation thanks to the increasing adoption of smart solutions offered by Huawei. This year marks a significant milestone as several New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) equipped with Huawei’s advanced automotive technology hit the market. Notably, the Voyah Dream, manufactured by Dongfeng, has become the first vehicle to implement Huawei’s ADS 3.0 intelligent driving system. Furthermore, the Deepal L07, produced by Chang'an Auto, features Huawei's core smart driving solutions, and the recently launched AVATR 12 from the same company continues this trend with comprehensive Huawei integrations.

The centerpiece of these innovations is the Advanced Driving System (ADS), which encompasses a myriad of sensory technologies such as lidar, cameras, and millimeter-wave radar. This integrated system is backed by a high-performance computing platform and is complemented by Huawei's proprietary advanced algorithms aimed at enhancing driving safety and comfort while simplifying the parking process. Thus, it contributes to making driving a more enjoyable experience overall.

SALES TREND AND CONSUMER INTEREST

July 2024 marked a pivotal turn when, for the first time, the sales of NEVs in China surpassed those of traditional fuel vehicles. This shift signals a growing interest among Chinese consumers in electric and intelligent vehicles, underscoring the demand for advanced automotive technology. Supported by Huawei's technical expertise, these smart automotive solutions are gaining significant attention, reinforcing the need for innovation in the sector.

Continuing its trend of progress, Huawei upgraded its smart driving system to version 3.0, incorporating multiple sensors to increase operational efficiency and safety. This cutting-edge system, when combined with Huawei's comprehensive end-to-end intelligent driving algorithms, not only enhances manual driving safety but also elevates the overall convenience of smart driving experiences.

SMART COCKPIT AND USER EXPERIENCE

In terms of the in-car experience, Huawei’s HarmonyOS cockpit allows drivers to utilize voice commands for various controls including navigation, window operations, and seat adjustments. Moreover, the innovative HUAWEI SOUND technology enriches auditory experiences with features like smart acoustics and sound field optimization.

Moving beyond these user interactions, Huawei is strategically integrating automotive optical intelligence solutions into the market, developing applications that range from smart front displays to sophisticated headlamp modules and virtual imagery screens. By harnessing the power of optical technologies, the automotive industry is set to advance further into the realm of connected driving experiences.

FUTURE INITIATIVES AND COLLABORATIONS

Huawei's Intelligent Digital Vehicle Platform (IDVP) operates on a service-oriented architecture (SOA), offering a centralized hardware structure alongside a layered software architecture. This framework equips vehicle manufacturers to develop software-defined vehicles (SDVs), providing users with highly customizable experiences that are frequently updated.

Huawei’s XMOTION technology, integrated into the IDVP, facilitates native domain collaboration. It allows complete control of vehicle posture, providing six degrees of freedom to enhance the driving experience in terms of safety and comfort. Additionally, the HUAWEI Thermal Management System (TMS) employs a unique integrated heat pump solution featuring a self-developed nine-way valve capable of supporting 18 different operational modes.

Lastly, Huawei’s cloud-based intelligent vehicle platform is designed to deliver an unparalleled user experience spanning the entire vehicle lifecycle. This includes smart interactions through digital keys, remote controls, driving records, and proactive safety and maintenance services, such as over-the-air (OTA) updates and remote diagnostics.

Huawei remains committed to focusing on customer needs, particularly in developing advanced vehicle components that infuse intelligence into every new car. With ongoing investments and innovations in smart automotive technologies, Huawei anticipates welcoming even more automotive companies into its ecosystem in the near future, driving us towards a smarter and more sustainable future together.
