Recently, the dispute between Yu Chengdong, Chairman of Huawei's Intelligent Vehicle Solution BU, and He Xiaopeng, Chairman of Xpeng Motors, has attracted widespread attention in the industry and beyond. The two Internet bigwigs sprayed each other in the air and refused to give in to each other, triggering a huge war of mouths. However, on November 9, He Xiaopeng posted on Weibo that he discussed the technical route with Lao Yu this morning, and thanked Lao Yu for his advice and generosity, sometimes it is easier to become good friends after misunderstanding. This means that the AEB dispute, which has lasted for nearly a week, has finally come to an end, and the two bigwigs have also reconciled.
The AEB controversy began in September, when Huawei held a press conference in Beijing to officially launch the M7, a sedan equipped with Huawei's intelligent driving solution. At the press conference, Yu Chengdong focused on Huawei's ADS 2.0, claiming that it can achieve emergency braking at a maximum speed of 90km/h, an increase of 50% compared with the general level. This technology caught the attention of He Xiaopeng, who in an interview at the end of October, made a rather sharp comment on the technology of the new M7. He said that the friend talked about AEB, I think 99% of it is fake, it is fake, and those promotions are not officially released by the company, all from small videos. Our people also went to ask, its AEB can't be driven at all, and there are too many cases of false braking on the road.
Yu Chengdong was obviously dissatisfied with this, and on the evening of November 3, he posted an article on AEB technology in the circle of friends, saying that there were leaders of car companies who didn't understand it at all. Some people don't even understand what AEB is! It's almost the same as someone saying that intelligent driving is flickering!. On the evening of November 4th, He Xiaopeng responded in the circle of friends, I recently commented on the chaos in the industry, but the industry was not in a hurry, and the non-industry was in a hurry, I don't know what he was anxious about. In this way, the war of words between the two officially began.
In the course of the AEB dispute, the two men insisted on their own opinions, did not give in to each other, and each came up with their own data and evidence to support their own views. Yu Chengdong said that Huawei's AEB technology has been rigorously tested and verified, and is not promoted by small videos. He also posted Huawei's AEB test report, showing that at a speed of 90km/h, it can achieve emergency braking in 1.5 seconds and stop when it is still 1.5 meters away from an obstacle. He Xiaopeng said that Xiaopeng's AEB technology is close to full score in the formal test, and the P7 model has become a double five-star model that has obtained both Euro NCAP and C-NCAP certification. He also posted a video of Xpeng's AEB test, showing that at a speed of 80km/h, it can achieve emergency braking in 1.8 seconds and stop when it is still 1.2 meters away from the obstacle.
The argument between the two has also sparked the participation and comments of many bigwigs in the automotive industry. Daniel Zhang, CEO of Nezha Automobile, said that at present, Nezha Automobile's AEB technology has been delivered and can be started at 100km/h. In the field test, there is data that the AEB is started at 80km/h, and the score reaches the "five-star plus level". Zhao Changjiang, general manager and chief co-creation officer of DENZA Auto, said that DENZA Auto can start AEB at 80 km/h now, and will start AEB at 100 km/h next year. Yang Honghai, chief operating officer of Asia China, said that the use of AEB technology in Kia Motors is very common, and models such as Shibo Tuojie and Jiahua are commonly installed. Liu Hao, an independent analyst of automobiles, said that the AEB battle is really a battle for the right to speak for the head manufacturers of intelligent driving.
As a result of the AEB dispute, the two eventually reached a settlement. On November 9, He Xiaopeng posted on Weibo that he discussed the technical route with Lao Yu this morning, and thanked Lao Yu for his advice and generosity, sometimes it is easier to become good friends after misunderstandings. He also said that in the future, we will work together to lead the innovation of intelligent driving technology and win-win in the new era of intelligent electric vehicles. Thank you also for your concern, thank you Lao Yu.
The significance of the AEB controversy lies in the fact that it demonstrates the competitive and innovative situation in the field of intelligent driving in China. AEB is a function of intelligent driving, which to some extent reflects the level of intelligent driving technology of car companies. In the AEB dispute, both of them demonstrated their technical advantages and self-confidence, and also triggered the follow-up and response of other car companies, promoting the technological progress and standard formulation of the industry. At the same time, the AEB controversy also reflects the differences and challenges in the field of intelligent driving in China. There is currently no unified standard and specification for the definition, testing, and evaluation of AEB, and different car companies have different understandings and practices, resulting in asymmetry in technology and opacity in the market. Therefore, the AEB controversy also reminds us that we need to strengthen the supervision and regulation of intelligent driving, establish a fair and orderly competitive environment, and ensure the safety and reliability of intelligent driving.
