The change in the automotive industry continues at full speed. After companies that have become popular with their electric vehicles, especially Tesla, automobile giants that have been operating successfully in the sector for years have started to keep up with the trend.
Apart from this, companies such as Xiaomi and Huawei have also started to take concrete steps on electric cars. Finally, the COO of Huawei Auto announced when fully autonomous vehicles will become commonplace in the industry.
History for fully autonomous vehicles from Huawei Auto COO
Wang Jun, who took office as the COO of Huawei’s Intelligent Automotive Solutions Business Unit in September last year, made important statements about the development of smart vehicles at the event he attended today. Wang stated that Huawei, as everyone knows, leads the way in the field of telecommunications and this experience has benefited them greatly when entering the automotive industry.
Wang Jun emphasized that Huawei’s main purpose is to help other companies produce good cars, as opposed to fierce competition in the industry. He added that most of these companies cooperate with companies such as BAIC, Changan and GAC, which have an important place in the electric car market.
According to Wang, fully autonomous driving technologies, which companies like Tesla are slowly trying to try, have not yet reached their true potential. Expressing that he believes that the understanding of automobiles will change forever with the realization of this, COO stated that fully autonomous vehicles will become more common in the next 5 to 10 years.
In addition, with the widespread use of fully autonomous cars, significant changes are expected in cockpit designs. The cockpits, which have been designed around the drivers to date, will be made even smarter by adopting a completely passenger-oriented identity.
In order to be one of the pioneers of this change, Huawei is making significant investments in areas that are likely to become popular in the future, such as smart driving technologies and smart cockpits. The company relies heavily on the HarmonyOS ecosystem, especially for the cockpit.
