In 20 10, Huawei was selected as one of the top 500 companies in the world for the first time. At that time, Ren said, "Huawei is not only a Fortune 500 company". In the past ten years, Huawei has proved all this with actions: 397, 35 1, 3 15, 296, 285, 228, 129, 83, 72, 6 1, and today is the 49th! All the data show that Huawei is becoming stronger step by step.
Huawei's strength has even made western countries jealous, so the United States has revised its trade rules many times, which has caused Huawei to be severely hit in the fields of mobile phones and chips. Huawei fell? Obviously impossible! Although there is no mobile phone business, Huawei has been actively expanding into new areas and may do better in new areas.
On April 12, at the 202 1 Huawei Global Analyst Conference, when Xu Zhijun, Huawei's rotating chairman, answered questions from the media, Xu Zhijun said that the upcoming polar fox Alpha S in Shanghai can automatically drive 1000 kilometers in downtown areas without interference. He confidently stated that "this is much better than Tesla." This should have been exciting news, but it turned out to be ridiculed by many people.
We can't deny Tesla's Excellence. Tesla was founded in the United States in 2003. It is a company engaged in electric vehicles and new energy. It can be said that it is a pioneer in the electric industry, and the most famous product is Tesla electric car. Although it is advanced in driverless technology, it is not insurmountable.
In 2020, Tesla's factory in Shanghai began production, and its sales volume increased greatly. With the increase of sales, more and more problems are exposed.
According to statistics, since 20 13 years, Tesla has had at least 2 18 accidents worldwide, especially in recent years, with at least 55 accidents in 2020. 202 1 Just three months later, there have been nine Tesla accidents in China.
"Out of control" is the main cause of Tesla's accident, so its automatic driving assistance system is questioned. However, Tesla has been responding negatively. What I know better are: "If there is a problem with charging, throw the pot to the State Grid", "Brake failure, throw the pot on the ground and slide", "Abnormal acceleration, improper operation of throwing the pot to the owner" and so on.
Tesla officially responded to 14 times in China, including 1 1 time. Tesla said that the vehicle itself had no systematic failure, including 9 out-of-control accidents and 2 fire accidents.
The above data all illustrate a problem, that is, Tesla electric car is not perfect, at least there are still many problems to be solved.
When Xu Zhijun said, "This is much better than Tesla", many people's first reaction was that Huawei was bragging again. I'll just see if Huawei is "bragging".
Huawei's entry into the field of smart cars is actually full of confidence. At present, it has invested more than $654.38 billion in the research and development of smart cars, and has been deeply cultivated for many years, with a number of patented technologies.
202 1, 1, Huawei sold the lidar as "cabbage price". Musk suddenly couldn't sit still. He has always been an opponent of lidar. He once publicly bombarded that "whoever hopes for radar is doomed to fail." The reason is that laser radar is too expensive, and it costs thousands of dollars at every turn, so it is unlikely to become the standard of ordinary cars.
The reason why Huawei's autonomous driving has made rapid progress is also very simple, that is, the cost of radar has been reduced, from $200 in the first step to 100 in the future, and there is no pressure for popularization at all. To put it bluntly, different hardware R&D capabilities bring different path choices and determine different final results.
Lidar can dynamically analyze road conditions in real time, and even do 3D modeling and dynamic restoration. The AI system controls the car driving through the returned data, with higher accuracy and no need for so-called big data assistance. Tesla has billions of kilometers of driving data, and its advantage in front of lidar is gone.
The research and development of Huawei lidar started as early as 20 16, and the location was in Wuhan Institute of Photoelectricity. The research has more than 10000 people, focusing on the research and development of lidar, with the goal of building 100 line lidar in a short time. At present, 96-line lidar has been commercialized.
According to a data sent by Xpeng Motors, the number of takeovers per 100 kilometers is 1.03 for Tesla, 0.96 for Tucki and 0 for Huawei, which is really quite different. At present, Huawei also claims that its technology has reached L3 level, so it is not surprising that Huawei is ahead of Tesla.
Many technical things are interlinked. As long as you stand at the commanding heights, it is very simple to develop related industries.
For a simple example, if you can play "Anhui Mahjong", whether it is "Shanghai Mahjong" or "Sichuan Mahjong", you will learn it as long as others give you some advice. Because you have mastered the profoundness of mahjong, you will never leave it.
Why can't domestic chips develop for so many years, and Huawei designed Kirin chips in a few years? Not only because Huawei has mastered higher technology, especially in hardware and communication.
Some people may remember that it cost thousands of dollars to install a telephone in the 1990s. After Huawei developed a program-controlled exchange, it can basically install telephones for free. Any high-tech products, when the core technology is in the hands of western countries, are sold to us at sky-high prices. When we develop it, it is when we enjoy welfare. There are countless examples of this.
Enterprises do well, we should applaud; If the enterprise is not doing well, we should spur it, not just cheer or spur it.
Some people, it is time to wipe off the thick layer of "dust" on their backs, and it is time to stand up and speak!
