Yu Chengdong – the Chairman of Huawei Smart Automotive Solution said that the firm is reaching new heights in smart car solutions. It is becoming more advanced day by day and aims to provide its automakers with the best carmaking techs.

At the event, some attendees questioned how he sees Tesla FSD against the Huawei Intelligent Driving Unit. In response, Yu Chengdong said he’s quite confident about the company’s smart car solutions and expects a win in this game.

Tesla FSD (Full Self-Driving) will likely enter China in the first quarter of the next year. A regulatory approval is still pending on this matter which ultimately delayed the time from the end of this year to early 2025.

FSD is one of the most autonomous versions of Tesla’s Autopilot software. It is a collection of advanced driver assistance features that offers stable and energetic assisted driving. But it still needs active driver supervision to work effectively.

During the event, Yu mentioned that Huawei Intelligent Driving is slightly better than Tesla FSD. He stated that even the vehicles without a LiDAR will perform better than those with FSD. Meanwhile, the LiDAR variant will be a stronger opponent.

“They (Tesla) didn’t use LiDAR, but we did, which made up for the perception capability. We are slightly better than them in China.”

Yu adds that FSD performs well enough. But when we tested and compared both driving solutions in the US, Canada, and other countries, Huawei had led this game.

How Tesla and Huawei Intelligent Driving will compete with each other will be seen in 2025.

Looking into the spy shots, the BYD Leopard 5 LiDAR model is wrapped with a thin film in some parts. The design is similar to the latest Leopard 5 model. It has a box-like exterior design with thick lines and curves. It gives the feel of a tough SUV.

Further details show the same pull-out door handles as the current model. But the change is a LiDAR (probably Huawei 192-line laser radar) on the roof that improves the driving experience for users.

The LiDAR solution (Light Detection and Ranging) on a vehicle acts as a remote sensing technology. It relies on laser pulses and generates a clear view of the car’s surroundings. Simply put, it detects obstacles and notifies to maintain distance.

It can also recognize road signs, traffic lights, and other important marks on the road. Thus, the new Leopard 5 LiDAR model will offer a better and more convenient driving experience than the current standard variant.

Inputs also reveal that the BYD Leopard 5 LiDAR variant may use Huawei ADS 3.0, the same as the Leopard 8. Both companies have collaborated to develop the world’s first off-road vehicle driving solution. At the same time, the automaker will adopt Huawei’s solutions for its smart cars, making them more impressive.

ADS 3.0: It’s the third-gen autonomous driving solution that acts like a human but with safer assistance. The solution offers excellent driving and navigation aids. It saves you in narrow paths, U-turns, and other complex driving situations.

As reported by a car enthusiast, the Chairman of JAC Motors Xiang Xingchu says Huawei MAEXTRO cars will have an annual production capacity of 35000 units.

Inputs further reveal that the first MAEXTRO car will enter the production lane by the end of this year. The official sale of this product will begin in H1 2025.

The information also hints that the MAEXTRO smart car will cost nearly 1 million yuan ($140K). With a luxurious design and advanced smart driving solutions, the new sedan will likely give a tough fight to its rivals in the Chinese automobile market.

MAEXTRO car has recently appeared in spy images. It seems to be a large EV that could easily excel Maybach and Rolls-Royce. The pictures show frameless side-view mirrors and doors. The company may also reduce the air drag for a better exterior look.

A LiDAR sensor solution is also visible on the MAEXTRO car’s roof which will help with the real-time scanning of objects. It ensures the safety of the driver as well as the vehicle.

Huawei uses HarmonyOS smart automotive software solution to provide self-driving technologies for car companies across the Chinese automotive industry.

Yu Chengdong said that HarmonyOS for smart cars could become the number one solution in the high-end car market in the next five years. The company has already integrated its solutions in the sub 500,000 yuan range and now it’s going for 1 million yuan and above market.

The automotive chief said Huawei makes cars with several brands including Aito, BAIC, and others. He pointed out that the company has already become successful in the high-end market citing the Wenjie M9 vehicle with robust sales.

“Although the four-world cars are made by different car manufacturers, Huawei is in control of the experience and underlying technology,” said Chengdong.

ADS 3.0

Earlier this year, Huawei introduced Automated Driving System (ADS) 3.0 for smart cars. The solution uses LiDAR + Camera solutions. On the other hand, rivals such as Tesla are considering using camera solutions and have eliminated LiDAR a few years ago.

Yu Chengdong said camera solutions without LiDAR will leave the camera blinded. He said cameras have limits and it could become hard for the car to maintain its senses in unfavorable weather.

The system brings smart features such as enhanced parking features. It has also added AI safety checks to keep the car functioning in most scenarios. To conclude, the automotive chief said that ADS 3.0 is not L3 yet but is designed based on L3 standards.

Some tipsters have shared the spy shots of a new SUV being tested on the road. The overall design and posture of the smart car appeared similar to the newly launched M9 model. Meanwhile, the size seemingly ranges between the M7 and M9 variants.

Other details count various straight lines on the car layout. It may also use the AITO M9-like taillight capability to provide a unique lighting pattern when driving. Note that the car doesn’t show any LiDAR unit, unlike the AITO M9 SUV.

It means the automobile won’t bear advanced techs or specifications. It may use the Huawei ADS 3.0 SE capability. This solution is also known as the Pure Vision intelligent driving system. It doesn’t pack major changes but brings efficient features.

ADS 3.0 SE supports smart driving assistance for highways or urban expressways with ramp access/exits. We may find more tweaks on this topic in future.

The spy shots further hint that the Huawei-powered AITO M8 SUV could be a five-seater product. A few interior images indicate that the new model uses the same tri-display design as the M9. The overall structure is quite similar to the AITO M9.

Last month, Huawei sold its AITO trademark and some patents to SERES for $343 million. The company did so to comply with Chinese rules. As per the information, the brand manufacturer and owner should belong to the same entity.

Huawei has said that it will continue to serve as a solution supplier and won’t jump into car making. Hence, it transferred the trademark to SERES. Read More…

During the Beijing Auto Show 2024, BYD announced its upcoming EVs. The automaker said that there will be three new off-road vehicles and one sports car. All three will use the latest advanced technological solutions and may range around 500000 yuan.

Now a new report has shed light on one of the BYD off-road vehicles – Leopard 8 which will equip Huawei smart car driving solutions. The car is expected to launch in the fourth quarter of this year. But the exact release details are unknown.

Off-road vehicles refer to adventure vehicles that can easily move on non-paved or bad tracks. For instance, forest roads, trails, sand, rough or low-traction surfaces.

BYD Leopard 8 is already being tested on roads. One of these tests hinted that the EV has the Huawei LiDAR system which isn’t available in the Leopard 5. This will also be the first BYD electric vehicle to obtain the urban Navigation on Autopilot (NOA).

Before Huawei, BYD used to purchase car technologies from startups like Horizon, Momenta, DJI, and more. Although this time, the company aims to develop its own driving solutions. It even made a large team to meet its new goals. Perhaps, Huawei might help the company in this matter to a great extent.

Leopard is the sub-brand of BYD. At a meeting, the general manager of the Fangchengbao Division – Xiong Tianbo said that Leopard 8 will bring new surprises in terms of smart driving. He might be talking about Huawei solutions in this segment.
