"Huawei is seeking a leadership position as a supplier for the AI-driven market even as international distrust for its telecom and Internet services weakens the massive corporation’s existing business model.
The Shanghai Auto Show on Monday saw the debut of the first vehicle using Huawei’s software and hardware, an electric car called the Arcfox Alpha S. The vehicle runs on HarmonyOS, the operating system Huawei originally developed as a replacement for the Android smartphone system.
The car reportedly integrates very smoothly with Huawei’s HarmonyOS smartphones, enabling drivers to control both phone apps and vehicle systems using voice commands or gestures. It will ship later this year with self-driving mode enabled for a few large Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen.
The South China Morning Post (SCMP) reported Huawei aims to become a supplier of “intelligent car” components rather than a competitive automaker in its own right. The company plans to invest a billion dollars a year in the intelligent car unit, and has 2,000 employees focused on research and development for self-driving vehicle technologies.
Huawei already has 18 different automakers lined up to purchase its “5G automotive ecosystem.”
The Chinese government is helping to develop the market for autonomous vehicles, quickly changing regulations and granting special exemptions from existing law to make it easier for Chinese corporations to field-test self-driving technology."
