Whoever proposes to build cars in the future and interferes with the company can be transferred from the post and find another position. ---Ren Zhengfei
After the issuance of the three-year email, it blocked all domestic technology fans’ fantasies about Huawei cars. After all, Huawei has mastered many core technologies in the automotive field.
But not manufacturing complete vehicles does not mean that Huawei will "stop".
In Ren Zhengfei’s plan, Huawei will become a provider of incremental components for intelligent connected cars in recent years, focusing on ICT technology to help car companies build good cars.
However, the continuous approval of automobile patent applications makes netizens a little confused and a little excited.
This is not the first time that a car patent has been announced. On January 12, the patent information of "A method and device for detecting the blind spot of a vehicle" was disclosed, and the application date was October 25, 2019.
And...
In November last year, "a thermal management system and an electric vehicle" and "a vehicle control method and related equipment" were announced on the day All as of November 13, 2020.
The parking lot server can be made to control the vehicle. The vehicle can only execute the vehicle control instruction after verifying that it is authorized by the car company's server, which reduces safety risks.
Previously, Huawei had also applied for automotive patents such as “drive circuits and charging and discharging methods for electric vehicles”. At last year's mobile phone launch conference, Huawei launched its smart car solution brand HI, which aims to use Huawei's full-stack smart car solutions and in-depth cooperation with car companies in an innovative model to create high-quality smart connected electric cars.
I thought it was just a gimmick, but I didn’t expect it to really go to the automotive industry.
Patent database provider IF ICL ai ms released (as of January 2021) the world's 250 largest patent holders. There are 8 companies and institutions in mainland China on the list, among which Huawei, BOE and Lenovo are among the top three domestic companies and among the top 100 in the world.
Among them, Huawei (24th) - 17,112 pieces, BOE (57th) - 9,373 pieces, Lenovo Group (82nd) ??- 6,648 pieces, TCL (91st) - 5,823 pieces, ZTE ( 107th) - 4878 cases, Tsinghua University (215th) - 2318 cases, Tencent (218th place) - 2311 cases, Haier Smart Home (235th place) - 2028 cases.
The incoPat patent database "2020 Announced Invention Authorized Patent Annual Report" announces the ranking of the number of patent authorizations obtained by domestic and foreign companies in China in 2020. Huawei's total number of authorized patents has reached 6,393, ranking first. OPPO and Sinopec ranked second and third, with 3,580 and 2,921 authorizations respectively.
Externally:
Strengthen automatic assisted driving, from the familiar fixed speed cruise to automatic cruise, lane keeping, and now the integrated high-precision map automatic lane changing, etc.
Internal:
The most important thing is the car experience, such as the smart screen, information display, smart assistant and interoperability with other devices in the car.
With the Shengteng series of AI chips related to intelligent driving; the world's first self-developed lidar; an integrated electric drive system; and a complete Internet of Vehicles cloud, Huawei's layout covers almost the entire field of intelligent driving. all. Through Huawei's recruitment, it is not difficult to see that Huawei's career in the automotive field is not just a gimmick.

Qi Ping, R&D Director of ZF China, believes that it should be a more rational decision for Huawei not to directly manufacture cars (OEM) within 3-5 years, because it does not have much experience in this area, but its business extends to automobiles. The industry is clear.
Huawei does not manufacture complete vehicles, but it is making such a big move in the automotive field. Some netizens said that Huawei’s positioning and goals are still very clear, that is, it is positioned as Tire 1, an incremental parts supplier, and benchmarks. Bosch.
The integration of the automobile industry and the ICT industry is getting deeper and deeper. Can Huawei, which has the world's leading advantages in ICT, lead the future of China's automobile industry?
Let’s wait and see!
