All along, Huawei has been emphasizing not to build cars, and Yu Chengdong has also repeated at the AITO M5 conference that Huawei does not build cars, but hopes to help car companies build and sell good cars with the intelligent technology accumulated in the ICT field for more than 30 years.
AITO Q&A M5 is not a Huawei car, but Huawei's intelligent manufacturing, which makes Huawei's "car dream" gradually clear. As an entity that entrusts Huawei to empower after thinking about smart cars, AITO Q&A M5 shows what Huawei "wants to do" and "what can it do".
HUAWEI DriveONE pure electric drive range extender platform
AITO Inquisitive M5 is equipped with a set of HUAWEI DriveONE pure electric drive range extender system, including a 1.5T four-cylinder range extender specially developed for extended range electric drive, with the front asynchronous AC motor and the rear permanent magnet synchronous motor, forming a dual motor four-wheel drive solution. This is a very leading set of intelligent electric solutions provided by Huawei for automotive companies.
The system is very suitable for the needs of many users today. The use of the engine to power the motor not only ensures that the vehicle has a long enough endurance, solves the mileage anxiety, but also retains the advantages of a smooth start of the electric vehicle; the front and rear dual motors are matched to ensure the performance advantages of electric vehicles. AITO Q&I M5 WLTC has an endurance of 1102 kilometers and zero hundred acceleration of 4.4 seconds, which can be said to have both endurance and performance.
The 1.5T range extender 3.0 is no stranger and is in an absolute leading position in the field of gasoline-electric hybrids. This engine was designed primarily for the range-extended system, with a focus on increasing efficiency, fuel savings and power savings. Using a series of technologies such as Miller cycle and Otto double cycle, electronically controlled turbine, DLC coating, etc. to reduce mechanical losses and improve thermal efficiency, the thermal efficiency has reached 41%.
The electric drive system with it actually dates back to Huawei's DriveOne electric drive system released in Beijing in November 2021, which is also the industry's first hyper-converged power solution.
Huawei's three-in-one electric drive system deeply integrates motor controllers (MCUs), motors, and reducers. The product is small in size and light in weight, which can also ensure good synergy, bring about an increase in volume and efficiency, and can effectively reduce production costs.
In the context of lightweight and platform-based electric drive system, deep integration and modularization are the general trend.
Huawei has also introduced intelligence into the electric drive system to achieve cloud collaboration and control, which is also an innovative move in the industry. Thanks to Huawei's years of technology accumulation in the field of ICT (information and communication technology) and its transfer to the automotive industry, the DriveOne electric drive system quickly established a leading edge.
As a result, the entire drive system not only has OTA capabilities, but also can achieve intelligent control of the engine, battery, and motor, and adapt different solutions according to different scenarios, and the official claim can cover 860 scenarios. In fact, it is a targeted improvement in efficiency and experience.
Smart cockpit solutions
The intelligent cockpit is the most noteworthy focus of the AITO Q&I M5, and it is also the top priority in Huawei's concept of empowering cars, and the core selling point is the Hongmeng operating system and intelligent hardware platform.
The intelligent cockpit is actually the main direction of the second wave of new car-making forces, compared with the drive hardware that the first wave of new car-making forces care about, the Internet manufacturers represented by Ali and Baidu have focused on the software that they are better at.
By designing a system that opens up internal and external communication barriers and the interconnection of the whole vehicle, the obstacles between intelligent driving and intelligent cockpits, and even between life and cars, are opened. This goes far beyond the so-called intelligence that many of today's smart cars achieve by connecting a single function in series.
Hongmeng operating system opens up the communication between all screens and screens, no longer Carplay-style mobile phone mapping, but from the bottom of the system to achieve collaboration between all screens equipped with Hongmeng operating system.
Since this is the case, such an important screen as the car machine naturally has to be taken into account. That is to say, after Huawei incorporates the car machine into the entire Hongmeng ecology, it can realize more convenient cross-device connection and control capabilities such as car-person interconnection, car-home interconnection, and vehicle-meter interconnection, so that the car is no longer an island.
The entire vehicle and machine system realizes the real car connection of everything, and also reflects the huge difference between the traditional main engine factory and the smart phone factory.
First fast. Through the powerful hardware to get a very smooth response, this aspect of the Internet companies have indeed not skimped on performance.
Secondly accurate. Relying on the development experience of the mobile phone system, smart phone companies know how to more reasonably handle multi-task execution or multi-demand processing when designing the car machine system, and have a very skillful set of logic, such as maps and music will be split screens when opened at the same time, video calls will be suspended, and so on.
Finally fierce. Traditional OEMs are relatively cautious about the car machine system, through a relatively closed system, only provide limited and simple applications, to avoid dealing with too many applications, there is a problem of control. In contrast, Hongmeng operation is not like this, not only built-in car maps, Huawei music, Huawei video, but also provides Huawei app store, support Bilibili, Himalaya, Youku video, NetEase cloud music, Youku, Tencent video and other rich applications.
As far as the specific experience of AITO asks the M5, the Hongmeng intelligent cockpit should be the ceiling of the current car and machine system. As a very important part of Huawei's "car dream", Hongmeng intelligent cockpit will also be used by other car companies in the future.
HUAWEI SOUND sound system and Xiaoyi
Huawei has always had a whole house intelligent concept and opened a whole house intelligent customization service for public users. Through a smart host, all smart home products are connected to the Hongmeng operating system to achieve various intelligent scenarios with different needs.
In Huawei's eyes, the car is only a relatively small volume house, so all the hardware for creating a smart home can be introduced into the car.
Among them, "Xiaoyi", as the entrance to Huawei's entire smart home, is the core support of the entire intelligent system.
In terms of the actual experience of AITO Q&I M5, Xiaoyi is indeed more natural and smooth than most intelligent voice systems on the market. Not only is the latency low, but continuous dialogue and intelligent association have no small advantages, and they can actively provide services according to the scene.
The hardware supports four-zone command recognition, which can identify the commands from the main driver, the co-driver and the rear seat; visually speaking, with simple Arabic numerals to complete the issuance of complex instructions to ensure safe driving.
Support up to 60 seconds of continuous dialogue, the whole process is online, accurate recognition, even if there is a sudden noise around it will not be interrupted, and when Xiaoyi broadcasts information, users can directly interrupt and re-issue new instructions. During this period, Xiaoyi will intelligently identify whether the instructions issued by users are valid and respond.
Compared with traditional car machines, Xiaoyi supports one sentence and multiple commands, and navigation home and playing music can be issued at the same time.
If it is only these performances, it can only be said that Xiaoyi performs "better" than the current mainstream products, and has not yet formed a differentiation. The real difference is that the existing schedules on Huawei's mobile phones will automatically be synchronized to the car machine to remind users of the recent schedules.
AITO Q&I M5's Hongmeng smart cockpit transplanted Huawei's active service, and appeared on the Smart Dock in the form of a service card, in addition to automatically reminding the recent schedule, Xiaoyi will also recommend services and applications according to the user's usage habits and scenes, such as monitoring environmental changes, Xiaoyi will take the initiative to remind the opening of the air conditioning internal and external circulation; insufficient power /oil, will take the initiative to remind the gas station / charging station navigation service; monitor the driver's emotions through the camera, take the initiative to provide music, More personalized needs such as navigation.
With the increase of use time, xiaoyi's recommendation will also be more accurate, which is to give the car machine system the ability to actively learn and evolve.
The audio brand on the AITO M5 is HUAWEI SOUND, which has changed the past practice of cars carrying overseas audio brands. In fact, since the launch of HUAWEI SOUND audio in cooperation with Divary, Huawei has tried to create a set of high-quality audio brands in the field of consumer audio, which are gradually equipped on TVs, mobile phones and cars. Of course, this is just a small microcosm of Huawei's self-developed product applications.
Xiaoyi and Hongmeng operating systems represent Huawei's highest level in software, and HUAWEI DriveONE electric drives and HUAWEI SOUND represent Huawei's pursuit of hardware. The combination of hardware and software is jointly installed on the AITO Q&I M5, which can be seen that Huawei's attitude towards cars actually adheres to the idea of creating a "third space" of mobile intelligence, bringing a truly smart travel experience to consumers.
Huawei does not build cars, but hopes to empower the automotive industry and help car brands build smarter cars. As Huawei's deeply empowered AITO Q&I M5, it has achieved a first-line level in performance and shown a top level beyond its peers in terms of software, which is also Huawei's advantage in the automotive industry.
With Huawei's years of accumulation of technology in information and communications, chip design, and intelligent terminals, once transplanted to the automotive industry, it will immediately establish advantages, and this advantage is not something that traditional OEMs can quickly catch up with, because this itself is the result of two different ideas. Only by combining strong and powerful forces can the intelligent upgrading of the automotive industry be quickly realized.
