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.

Weibo blogger @SunShaojun09 shared some spy shots of the new alleged Huawei-powered SUV. The images reveal a similar design as of the STELATO S9 and AITO M9.

It carries a coupe-shaped structure with a closed roof, a 2-door passenger car, and a small interior space. The smart car is currently wearing a camouflage cover. Yet the tipster has mentioned a few key aspects of this product including price.

Starting with the design, the spotted Huawei-powered vehicle adopts a slim round shape with sharp lines throughout the exterior body, giving a heavy feel.

The vehicle seems to run on R20 wheels and integrates a Huawei LiDAR sensor. It has two thin headlines connected through a light strip and as well as LED taillight at the back. The images also exhibit a duck-tail handle to uplift the trunk part.

New Huawei-powered SUV vs Tesla?

One of the spy shots shows the alleged Huawei-powered SUV around the Tesla Model X. The scenario hints that the HarmonyOS solutions-baked vehicle could set challenges for Tesla models (X and Y) in the time ahead.

Further features of the car may include the latest Huawei ADS 3.0 and HarmonyOS smart cockpit. The leak says that the SUV is likely to get two versions: Pure Electric as well as Extended-Range with a price of 300,000 to 400,000 yuan.

The tipster says that Huawei will unveil the new smart vehicle somewhere in the second half of this year. Judging from the images, several netizens pointed out the car as a Luxeed S9 made by Huawei and Chery.

Huawei Consumer Business Unit Chairman – Yu Chengdong said that the company’s Intelligent Driving group is confident in fighting its rivals like Tesla well in the Chinese automobile market. Thus it seems the company has started readying such products in this matter.

The executive said this, in response to Tesla FSD’s (Full Self-Driving) plan to enter China. Elon Musk is looking to roll out this software treatment on the Chinese ground for Tesla users, providing a better, more efficient, and easier driving experience.

U.S. EV maker already has two autopilot driver assistance systems in the Chinese market, but these are less efficient. However, the firm now aims to bring the FSD software solution by completing registration with MIIT and initiating the testing.

Managing Director at Shanghai Consultancy Automotive Foresight – Yale Zhang said that Tesla’s FSD release in China would pressure other EV startups to accelerate their research and development. But Huawei has something else to say about this.

Yu Chengdong quotes that the Huawei Intelligent Driving unit is confident and capable of defeating its rivals, even after Tesla FSD software makes its way to China.

The chairman mentions that the company has tested its solution in many countries including the U.S. And the overall results are good enough to compete with other contestants in the automobile market. Speaking of the Tesla FSD, Yu cited last year:

“Tesla FSD does a great job. The solution does not rely on high-precision maps. But still, our solution is better and safer!”

It is a bold statement in favor of Huawei’s Intelligent Driving Business. No doubt, the tech maker might have amazing plans and schemes like the Qiankun solutions that will give a tough fight to others in the market.

According to the details, the company has started advertising charging stations that will be available in the 1-kilometer distance with 600kW power efficiency. The advertisement first showed up in a shopping center’s parking lot in Shenzhen.

It is worth mentioning that these chargers are compatible with all kinds of electric vehicles, including Tesla. Huawei superfast EV chargers have an output range of 600kW which is the highest in the world, surpassing Tesla supercharger 250kW in China.

Huawei vs Tesla: Chargers

While Tesla EV adapters take around 19 minutes for a full charge via the Tesla equipment, Huawei’s EV charger can boost the energy within 8 minutes for a vehicle equipped with an 80kW/h battery and a range of 600 km.

Though the charging time may differ depending on the battery capacity and temperature. Notably, these iconic EV adapters are manufactured by Huawei Digital Power. The company will sell the respective adapters to charging faculties in the coming days.

Besides, the Chinese tech maker will work on deploying around 100,000 units in the native region along with 250kW chargers in commercial and highway areas by the end of this year.

In case you think that the charger output range might result in problems like overheating, Huawei has used an effective cooling system filled with liquid coolant to prevent this issue.

Since 2014, Tesla has installed over 11000 charging stations in China. Although most of these only support Tesla models. Meanwhile, Huawei aims to use excellent charging stations and powerful chargers that are compatible with all EVs and can be available at 1km-per-second to give drivers the same experience as refueling a gas-powered vehicle.

With such an aim, Huawei is ready to take over Tesla in the automobile charging aspects and fast and super-efficient chargers. Moreover, it will be a huge aid for Chinese automakers supporting fast charging.

Comparison is the key to compete in the market and Tesla EVs are quite popular in the world. But Huawei is catching up with all of its competitors and helping partners to build better cars.

The new Luxeed S7, a coupe-like electric vehicle (EV), will be based on Chery’s E0X platform. It has been designed for two-motor all-wheel-drive EVs, according to information published in August on the website of China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.

“The car will make its debut in late November. It will be superior to Tesla’s Model S in various aspects,” said Yu Chengdong.

However, the head of Huawei smart car solution revealed no information about the price of this upcoming sedan.

There’s plenty of information available about the Huawei Luxeed S7 EV and we will have to wait to find out whether it’s better than the Tesla Model S.

Yu said that Huawei currently has the best solution in the field of smart driving, and the company has surpassed Tesla FSD and all Chinese and foreign companies in autonomous driving solutions.

He explained that smart driving involves many aspects and Huawei has made huge investments in its AI and machine learning technologies to check all of the high-quality standards. You should know that 70% of Huawei’s investment is made in the car field and 80% of that is used for smart driving.

“I believe that this value is also very high, which can greatly improve driving safety and reduce driving fatigue.” said Yu.

Since the launch of HarmonyOS in 2019, Huawei is focusing more on its own driving cockpit system and autonomous driving technologies. It has recently released automated driving system (ADS) 2.0, which comes with the latest features.

On the other hand, Tesla’s FSD Beta enables Tesla vehicles to drive autonomously through most driving scenarios – including traffic lights – but under heavy supervision from the driver at all times. It requires frequent driver interventions on top of supervision and, therefore, it is still considered a level 2 driver-assist system.

Surpass All:

Yu Chengdong concludes that Huawei will cooperate with car companies to create the best smart connected electric vehicles. In terms of smart driving, we first achieved the number one experience in the smart cockpit. The difficulty of smart driving is much higher than that of the smart cockpit.

“When people are driving, the intelligent driving AI robot behind it is assisting them. In case you make a mistake, traffic accidents can be avoided. Or, when people are tired and tired, letting the car drive by itself can greatly reduce driving fatigue.” added Mr. Yu.

Sin technology reported that Huawei smart car BU thanked Su Qing for his contribution to the smart driving business unit. Su Qing has been removed from the company for making inappropriate remarks against American EVs maker – Tesla while talking to a show for autonomous driving technology and safety.

Once the matter backfired, Huawei removed Su Qing from the position of the director of the intelligent driving product department of BU intelligent vehicle solutions. Su Qing will go to the strategic reserve team for training and assignments.

Su Qing used an unpleasant word to describe the issues with Tesla vehicles. He said machines from the big names such as Tesla cars are causing accidents in human society and “killing peoples” even in the case of autopiloting.

He added that Huawei is working hard to bring solid technologies to decrease the smart car issues. The company (indicating Huawei) wants to overcome the causes as low as possible that are responsible for increasing the accident rate. Read the full story here.
