Huawei will transfer some of its autonomous driving business to Volkswagen, including the intelligent driving product team

On December 23, Huawei held a winter flagship new product conference, in addition to its own mobile phones and watches, it also launched a medium-sized luxury SUV - AITO Q&A M5. Of course, our topic today is not to ask about the M5, but another big move of Huawei in the automotive field - to transfer some of the autonomous driving business capabilities and teams to the public, including part of the team of Su Zhen, a former executive of the autonomous driving business line and the director of the intelligent driving product department.

As early as five years ago, Huawei had contact with Volkswagen, but it ended with Huawei not being satisfied with Volkswagen's initial offer. In the second half of this year, the personnel adjustment of Huawei's car BU is very frequent, and almost all the places for school recruitment are given to car DU. Previously, it was reported that Huawei and Volkswagen would cooperate on autonomous driving in the form of a joint venture company (Volkswagen contributed funds, Huawei contributed technology), but Huawei denied this statement.

As we all know, Huawei itself does not build cars, but "helps car companies build good cars" and "helps car companies sell good cars". It is reported that the cooperation between Huawei and car companies is divided into "shallow cooperation" and "deep cooperation", of which "deep cooperation" is based on HUAWEI Inside full-stack solution, which is conducive to deep matching development, thereby releasing more technologies and capabilities. Huawei said that Huawei Insid's focus is on in-depth and customized cooperation between the two sides.
