Huawei's Yu Chengdong on Tesla's FSD Entering China and Huawei's Intelligent Driving
TapTechNews June 1 news, at today's 2024 Future Automobile Pioneer Conference, Yu Chengdong, the Standing Director of Huawei, Chairman of the Terminal BG, and Chairman of the Intelligent Automotive Solution BU, had a conversation with Zhou Hongyi, the founder of the 360 Group, in the official live broadcast room of Hongmeng Zhixing.
When talking about the rumor that Tesla's FSD will enter the Chinese market, Yu Chengdong said that Huawei's intelligent driving is even better than Tesla's FSD even in the version without LiDAR, and the performance is better when it comes with LiDAR. Regarding the entry of Tesla's FSD into China, he said that he is willing to compete, and only after the competition can we see who does better.
Tesla has a large number of vehicles and a large amount of data. FSD is doing well. We also did tests and comparisons in the US, Canada, etc. Our experience is slightly better. They didn't use LiDAR, we used it, which makes up for the perception ability. In China, we are slightly better than them.
Yu Chengdong also mentioned that the current cost of Huawei's intelligent driving is still a bit high and is trying to make the basic version without LiDAR under 200,000 yuan ($28,500).
According to TapTechNews' report last night, Yu Chengdong also mentioned the improvement of Huawei's intelligent driving and his views on Tesla's FSD at the new M7 Rejuvenation Release Conference of WJ.
He said that the Huawei team went to San Francisco in the US, Toronto in Canada, and other places for testing. From the results, after Tesla's FSD enters China, Huawei is confident to beat the opponent.
In April this year, according to informed sources, Tesla will clear the key obstacles to the launch of advanced assisted driving functions in China by cooperating with Baidu in map and navigation functions. Tesla CEO Elon Musk came to China at that time, and Tesla's official Weibo made two statements successively, both mentioning the content of accelerating the landing of autonomous driving technology.
In June last year, Yu Chengdong also expressed a similar view at the 2023 Chongqing Auto Show. When asked whether Tesla's full-blooded FSD can take the lead after entering the country and Is it afraid of FSD coming, Yu Chengdong said he is very confident and said that Tesla's FSD is doing great, and the solution does not depend on high-precision maps, but our solution is better and safer.
At last night's release conference, the WJ new M7 Ultra model debuted, equipped with the highest point frequency and highest frame rate 192-line LiDAR. Combined with the HUAWEI ADS 2.0 full-scenario perception ability, the intelligent driving ability has been further improved.
