According to German media reports, Volkswagen is currently in talks with Huawei to acquire Huawei's autonomous driving division. According to the words of volkswagen group executives, the deal has been negotiated for several months. When it comes to why Huawei's autonomous driving department was chosen, he said that Volkswagen is not involved in autonomous driving technology systems, and if the cooperation is successful, it will bring new developments in the field of smart cars to the Volkswagen Group. As for the price of the deal, he said Volkswagen had prepared billions of euros.
Wang Jun once said that Huawei Car BU has cooperated with all domestic car factories. Looking at Huawei's current strength in smart cars, including HarmonyOS intelligent cockpit, electric drive system, AR-HUD technology (car intelligent 5GAI), 4D radar, heat pump, charging module, etc., for Huawei cars, the real production is only one frame shell. BYD chose Huawei Hicar, coupled with the advantages of BYD's automotive field, it is really a strong combination of strength and complementary advantages, and Huawei has taken advantage of dongfeng to gradually make up for the loss of mobile phone business in the field of car and machine.
According to the current situation, Huawei will not directly hand over the automatic driving department to volkswagen, but will choose to build factories in joint ventures, patent cooperation, and then improve the bearing, optimization, and adaptive transformation of its own technology abroad. At some levels, Huawei's autonomous driving technology involves the field of 5G communications to a certain extent, and once it becomes a "technology partner" relationship, Huawei's 5G dilemma will gradually be promoted abroad and have an impact.
Autonomous driving is Huawei's side hustle, and unless Huawei is ready to go all out to build cars, the content of the discussion may be the retention of technology and the use of new technologies. This can not rise to the perspective of "Huawei can not sell", in fact, it is still possible to carry out technical cooperation and sell new technologies in this business. From the wording of Volkswagen's "technology partner" relationship, the side said that if Huawei's autonomous driving department is fully transferred, this amount of funds is far from enough, and Volkswagen cannot prepare so much for a while.
In the eyes of the public, they do not need technical control at all, and more need is practical technology that can directly carry the vehicle, and then the purchase authorization with a clear price. Therefore, this is the capital that Huawei has saved for more than ten years, and it is also a fairly cost-effective business. After all, Huawei has been suppressed for so many years, and finally the development of smart cars is not suppressed, and no car company in China can get the same high price to acquire Huawei's automatic driving technology, so in the era of science and technology, it can only be completed by each other.
You say that BYD's new energy technology is not good, but Toyota is looking for BYD to design and OEM new energy vehicles and paste The Toyota logo. You say that Huawei can't drive itself, but the public wants to buy Huawei's technology, but Huawei doesn't necessarily sell it. Are our local tech companies really powerless? Don't have the strength to make these international giants look good? If in the future, which technology company in China will not survive. I believe that it is not a loss to a competitor, but a defeat to one's own people. So, be confident.
