Although Huawei promised not to "build cars", this does not prevent it from "deeply bundling" with automakers, so we saw the first Hongmeng automobile AITO Q&A M5 at the end of last year, which integrates Huawei's industrial design, engineering technology, system software and Hongmeng ecological advantages.
Well, Huawei is asking the world through AITO, trying to find out where the "boundary" of its own car is.
According to China Securities News, Huawei store sales staff revealed that since the release of the AITO Q&A M5 on December 23, 2021, there have been more than 6,500 predetermined units in 96 hours. The sales staff said that the test drive began on January 20, and now the order is expected to pick up the car in early March.
Of course, the predetermined volume is not equal to the actual sales volume, AITO asked the world Whether M5 can gain a firm foothold in the new energy automobile industry, it still needs time to verify.
In fact, Huawei has not put all its eggs in one basket, for example, Huawei has also jointly created a high-end brand "Avita" with Chang'an and Ningde Times. Although the Huawei brand on Avita's body is not as deep as the M5, it is enough to show off the muscles from Huawei.
Avita official micro said that it is "the first emotional intelligent electric vehicle brand equipped with Huawei's HI full-stack intelligent vehicle solution" and has an industry-leading advantage in visual recognition.
It is reported that the entire Avita 11 series is equipped with:
3 lidars, which can detect 140 meters at a distance and cover 300 degrees;
6 millimeter wave radar, can detect 210 meters at a distance, medium and long range coverage of 360 degrees;
12 ultrasonic radars, detection distance of 5 meters, front and rear bumpers full coverage;
13 cameras, 150 meters long-range detection, 360 degrees coverage.
The above-mentioned luxurious visual decoration allows Avita 11 to obtain "a pair of eyes with a sharpness far beyond that of humans", which can be used with high-precision maps to calmly cope with more light changes such as night, weak light, backlight, tunnel light and dark alternation, etc., and can also respond to lane recognition, traffic light transformation, pedestrian distance, static obstacles, low and small objects and other difficult scenes for sensitive identification.
According to earlier news, Avita 11 is a pure electric coupe medium-sized SUV, which is based on the intelligent electric networked vehicle platform (CHN) jointly developed by Changan, Huawei and Ningde Times, with 400TOPs of intelligent driving computing power, and the vehicle will have an endurance level of more than 700km, 0-100km/h acceleration time of less than 4 seconds, and use 200kW fast charging technology, which is expected to be officially released in the second quarter of 2022, and the first batch of mass production deliveries will be achieved in the following three quarters.
While Tesla has always disdained lidar, the industry generally believes that lidar is the key component to unlocking L4 & L5 autonomous driving. Unfortunately, lidar has been expensive in the past, ranging from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, compared with the hardware cost of cameras is only a few hundred dollars, of which the cost gap is nearly ten times more.
Huawei said at the 12th Automotive Blue Book Forum that it would reduce the cost of lidar to $200 (about 1,270 yuan) or even $100 (about 635 yuan) in the future. I don't know what the price of 3 Huawei lidars on Avita 11 is? How far is the $200 goal?
If Huawei can really lay a high-cost lidar, the domestic electric vehicle industry will make great achievements in the future.
