Huawei's Jin Yuzhi on Intelligent Driving and Company Updates
On June 15th, TapTechNews reported that the 2024 16th China Automobile Blue Book Forum continued today, and Jin Yuzhi, CEO of Huawei's Intelligent Automobile Solution BU, attended and delivered a speech.
Jin Yuzhi stated that currently, great importance is attached to L3-level intelligent driving in China. By June this year, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology has announced 9 first batch of automakers entering the L3 pilot. From this year to next year, it will enter the formal road test. We hope L3 can be commercialized as soon as possible. Hopefully, it will be at least unblocked on highways next year, so that users can use it with confidence. Herein, I think we have stayed at L2 for too long. In fact, our L2 has far exceeded the current L2 capabilities.
Jin Yuzhi disclosed that he commutes nearly 100 miles by car every day, covering highways and urban road conditions, and can drive very easily on the highway. When I drive on the highway every day, my hands are very relaxed. The regulations don't allow hands off the steering wheel, just put hands on the steering wheel, and there is no need to drive so tensely. I make three calls along the way and arrange a lot of work, and the work efficiency has been greatly improved.
In addition, Jin Yuzhi also responded to the recent rumor that Huawei's Intelligent Automobile Solution BU will be independent soon: Whether it is independent or not is dominated by the company as a whole. No matter whether it is independent or not, the Automobile BU has not changed from the original positioning to now, which is to become a smart platform for Chinese automobile products and the global automotive industry. This positioning has never changed from the beginning to the end.
According to TapTechNews' previous report, Yu Chengdong, Executive Director of Huawei, Chairman of Terminal BG, and Chairman of Intelligent Automobile Solution BU, mainly mentioned a series of topics such as the cost and product planning of Hongmeng Zhixing in his speech yesterday. He said that he does not consider launching cars under 200,000 yuan for the time being, because currently there is no ability to achieve the cost under 200,000 yuan.
