It is understood that "Autoware" is the world's first "integrated" open source software for autonomous driving technology. It originated from Nagoya University in Japan, and now it is one of the world-famous open source platforms for autonomous driving. In the past, Su Qing, the chief architect of Huawei's autonomous driving, once said that the cooperation with the Autoware Foundation enabled Huawei to cooperate with the community to develop self-driving car software and accelerate the development of the industry, thus benefiting users.
In addition, Huawei also applied to register a trademark named "Mobile Data Center", that is, the mobile data center. Autopilot technology involves multiple dimensions such as scenes, roads, routes, road conditions, speed, safety, attributes, etc. A large number of data processing requires a powerful on-board computing platform.
At present, Huawei is stepping up its development in the field of smart cars. The company has previously published a number of patents related to smart cars and autonomous driving, including "wireless charging of vehicles", "interactive method of automatic parking", "long-distance gesture" and "adaptive adjustment of rearview mirrors".
In Huawei's automobile map, the automatic driving full-stack solution is its current goal. Huawei has repeatedly stressed that it is not necessary to build a car, and it is necessary to take the road of "platform+ecology", and jointly define hardware interfaces and software interfaces with partners to help car companies build "good cars".
It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Huawei's HarmonyOS system cockpit was finally officially lifted, and Zhiche Huang experienced the beta version of the HarmonyOS system OS cockpit for the first time on the Extreme Focus Alpha S HI version.
We should know that in the core areas of new energy vehicles such as automobiles, chips, single-chip computers, radars, and three-power systems, domestic technology accounts for a very low proportion, especially in the field of RF chip radar, which is almost monopolized by foreign countries. Huawei understands that in the Tenth Five-Year Plan, the core is to "improve the independent and controllable supply capacity". The "thigh" of self-control is probably much thicker than the "leg" of new energy.
