Third, the car version of HarmonyOS system will be fully open? Car companies can use it immediately.
Yu, deputy general manager of Nortel and ARCFOX, said that the boundary between autonomous driving and intelligent cockpit is becoming increasingly blurred.
The principle change of intelligent cockpit should be from functional design to experience design. In the past, car companies added functions such as telephone and navigation to cars, but in the future, the cockpit needs to be changed to find functional people.
He said that thinking about the cockpit before was all related to driving. In the future, the cockpit will be the cockpit of the Internet of Everything, and the cabin needs a good ecology. Huawei's HarmonyOS system will provide users with better services.
Wang Qingwen, general manager of BU intelligent cockpit products department, Huawei's smart car solution, shared Huawei's thoughts on intelligent cockpit. Huawei believes that the key to cockpit intelligence is multi-scene consistency, so that applications are always new, hardware is plug-and-play and constantly updated.
Introduction of Huawei Intelligent Cockpit Layout
But this will bring a huge challenge-the integration cycle of software and hardware is long. Huawei has long-lived experience in software version management, and made an order in 2007. RAN solves the integration problem of multi-standard software and hardware.
In terms of intelligent cockpit, Huawei's intelligent cockpit solutions include car OS software platform of HarmonyOS system, car domain ecological platform of HarmonyOS system and intelligent hardware platform of cockpit.
Introduction of Huawei Intelligent Cockpit Layout
However, there is still a gap between mobile phones and cars. There are many speakers and sensors in the car, which is more difficult. Therefore, there are still many problems in accessing the HarmonyOS system.
The car version of HarmonyOS system will focus on seven aspects: voice, sound effect, vision, HUD, interconnection, AI situational intelligence and OTA, and then make a suite, which can be directly used by enterprises.
In addition, Huawei has also made an open application ecology and hardware ecology to realize the function of getting on the bus quickly. In terms of software, HiCar is one of Huawei's solutions. In terms of hardware, Huawei has made in-vehicle module, in-vehicle smart screen and AR-HUD, which reduces the development difficulty of car companies and better enhances the intelligence and application experience of intelligent cockpit.
