Previously, many media broke the news that one of the three major Japanese brands will be used with Huawei, and Huawei's intelligent driving and cockpit systems will be used in models for China.
At that time, many people guessed who these three major brands would be, some thought it was Toyota, some thought it was Honda, and some thought it was Nissan, but recently some media confirmed (unofficial information) that it was Toyota, that is, the world's largest car company.
And how to cooperate with Huawei? It is mainly based on two aspects:
1. Among the models facing China, in terms of intelligent driving system, "Toyota + Huawei + Momenta" is adopted, the main algorithm scheme is Momenta, Huawei provides domain control chips, and Toyota is responsible for integrating software and hardware, unfortunately Toyota does not use Huawei's ADS2.0 intelligent driving system.
2. In terms of intelligent cockpit, Qualcomm's chip is used, but the system is likely to be Huawei Hongmeng system, embedded in Huawei Hongmeng App Store, and the soul has become Huawei's.
This means that Toyota, which has always been very hard-mouthed, saying that China's electric bells and whistles, electric vehicles are not environmentally friendly, and are policy products, and are resolutely boycotted, is still very honest and admits its mistakes to the Chinese market.
And this confession is not only as simple as self-research and development, but also directly cooperating with China's best supply chain, and also beginning to use those "bells and whistles" technology in China's electric vehicles.
In fact, this is not the first time Toyota has admitted its mistake to the Chinese market, before in 2020, it established a company with BYD and launched a pure electric sedan bZ3, using BYD's electric technology, and a new generation of Bz4 will also be launched, it can be said that Toyota has given the body to BYD.
So this time to give the soul to Huawei, it is logical, it is already familiar with the road, but if the body is given to BYD, the soul is given to Huawei, then what else does Toyota have to have? Maybe it's just a brand.
However, in the face of sales, it doesn't matter what soul and body are your own, Toyota, as the big brother of fuel vehicles, has actually felt the pressure of electric vehicles for a long time, but its own technology is not good, and hydrogen energy vehicles have not made much progress, so they have to bow their heads.
And from this incident, it can also be seen that the current domestic electric vehicles are already the world's leading, no longer doubt, Toyota's big brother, have to admit it, hard mouth to hard mouth, reality to reality.
