As early as 2004, Huawei began to lay out the field of new energy vehicles. From the layout to the present, Huawei has more than 50,000 patented technologies in the automotive field, especially in the important and key electronic control and electric drive of automobiles. Huawei has hundreds of automobile patents. Huawei officially announced its entry into the automotive field on 20 18. Huawei only makes related parts of automobiles, such as car cameras and electric drive systems. Don't make cars.
According to related news, Huawei released high-performance lidar products and solutions with vehicle specifications at the recent special car conference, becoming one of the few R&D enterprises to achieve L4 level of self-driving cars. Huawei "cross-bank strike" Tesla? The world's first top-class car lidar. This news is full of buzz in the industry, because Tesla, a car brand that has done a good job of autonomous driving now, is L2.
Intelligent driving in automobile field is divided into six grades: L0 to L5. L0 needs people to operate most of the driving of the car, and L5 relies entirely on the car itself to complete driving in any road scene. Therefore, Huawei can achieve the L4 level of intelligent driving and is in a very advanced position in the world. Therefore, Huawei's high-performance lidar products and solutions for vehicle specifications surprised everyone. After all, Huawei has always been a company specializing in mobile communication! How can you build the car so well?
So why can Huawei's high-performance lidar products and solutions achieve L4 intelligent driving? This requires me to give you a popular science. Huawei wants to grab Tesla's job? The world's first 96-line vehicle-mounted lidar.
The high-performance lidar products released by Huawei this time are mainly the long-distance front-end lidar in the 96-line gauge. Huawei has put forward the corresponding intelligent driving scheme, which provides solutions for many intelligent driving enterprises wishing to reach L4 level, making the detection of pedestrians and vehicles and the automatic identification of high-speed vehicles a reality. And this piece is completely inaccessible to Tesla. Because the cost of lidar is very expensive, it is not cost-effective for automobile enterprises.
First of all, let's learn about the international market.
In the international market, the best lidar at present is 128 line lidar, and the cheapest price is 1000 USD. Huawei's 98-line laser radar costs 800 to 900 dollars in the international market, but Huawei only sells/kloc-0 to 200 dollars, which has a great impact on the market.
Secondly, in order to realize intelligent driving, L2' s intelligent driving can be realized by combining a three-eye camera and a millimeter-wave radar, and the cost is less than 400 dollars, so Tesla will definitely choose the lowest-cost solution to realize intelligent driving of the car. Therefore, the emergence of Huawei's automotive lidar products is undoubtedly threatened by Tesla, and Tesla's position in the automotive market may also be shaken or even changed.
Huawei can achieve its present achievements, in addition to planning its layout in the automotive field in advance, it has also invested a lot of technical costs, capital costs and labor costs. Behind this is the result of countless Huawei engineers fighting day and night. It can be said that Huawei is a very diligent enterprise with a strong sense of national consciousness and national responsibility. Is the pillar of the country!
In a word, Huawei's progress in automobile patent technology has opened up another advanced track, and everything it has done will change the present situation of the whole automobile market and China's right to speak in the international automobile field. In the future, it will not be stuck by foreign technology like chips, mainly because of Huawei's functions! I hope other domestic technology companies can keep up with Huawei instead of just thinking about making money all day!
