Qiankun ADS 3.0 came into being.
From the perspective of "dry", Qiankun's goal is to provide the ultimate user experience and safety experience with intelligent assisted driving, chassis, audio, and cockpit, and the ultimate goal is to lead the industry to "break the sky".
From the perspective of "Kun", from the perspectives of basic algorithms, physics and mathematics, Qiankun builds core technologies in chips, hardware, software, operating systems and clouds, so as to realize the "rooting" of technology.
According to the results of the AEB intelligent driving evaluation of Pacific Motors, the models equipped with Huawei's Qiankun ADS intelligent driving system are "comprehensively ahead" in all test items of AER active safety.
Jin Yuzhi concluded, for the users of Qiankun Intelligent Driving:
"Our goal is to 'pick up the car and drive, drive the better'. ”
According to reports, Qiankun will be the only product in the world with a complete solution of "core, hardware and soft cloud" at the same time, and together with "Hongmeng cockpit", it will be the two core brands of Huawei's intelligent vehicle solutions.

Huawei's "Smart Circle of Friends" is expanding at an accelerated pace
After Huawei entered the field of smart cars, it joined hands with traditional car companies such as Celis, Chery, BAIC, and JAC to launch four major brands, namely AVATAR, Wenjie, Zhijie, and Xiangjie, which detonated the market several times.
It has been pointed out that although the "Chinese content" of these three models is inconsistent, its popularity in the new energy vehicle market is undoubtedly a recognition of Huawei's technical strength and R&D capabilities.
Yu Chengdong, Executive Director of Huawei, CEO of the Device Business Group, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Huawei's Intelligent Vehicle Solution BU, previously said that Huawei's Smart Mobility Solution is a strategic upgrade of Huawei's smart car model, which aims to leverage Huawei's experience in the past 30 years in the ICT field in terms of incremental components and technical solutions for smart vehicles, deeply empower partners, and create a new era of intelligent vehicles.
The "Qiankun" brings about a further upgrade of Huawei's intelligent driving system, which may mean that Huawei's "Smart Circle of Friends" will accelerate the expansion, and the intelligent mobility model will continue to empower car companies.
Yu Chengdong posted on Weibo today that the sales of Hongmeng Zhixing's four cars have exceeded 100,000 this year, becoming the first new power brand in the Chinese market.
Earlier this year, Yu Chengdong also revealed that due to the big sales of mid-to-high-end models created by partners, it is expected that Chebu will achieve the goal of turning losses into profits this year. Yu Chengdong also revealed that Huawei's smart car business has turned losses into profits in the first three months of this year, and the car BU is close to breakeven, and it is expected that it should be able to turn losses into profits from April onwards and achieve benign positive development.
According to Northeast Securities, Huawei is positioned as a supplier of incremental components for intelligent networked vehicles, with the ability to provide software, hardware, and intelligent vehicle solutions. The three cooperation models of Tier 1, H1 and Smart can cover the needs of more car companies and help increase revenue scale faster.
According to media reports, a number of companies have been established under Huawei's car BU.
