Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Huawei, the leading global ICT infrastructure supplier, launched on Oct. 30 the brand “HI” for intelligent vehicle solutions, which is aimed at jointly developing intelligent-connected electric vehicles (EVs) with automakers by using Huawei's full-stack intelligent car solutions.
The “HI” solutions encompass an all-new architecture for computing and communications, and five intelligent systems focusing on intelligent driving, intelligent cockpit, intelligent electrification, connectivity and intelligent automobile cloud respectively. Besides, the solutions still involve the full set of intelligent suits including LiDAR and AR-HUD (augmented reality head-up display).
Under the brand, new computing and operating systems will be offered, containing three computing platforms for intelligent driving, intelligent cabinet and intelligent vehicle control system, as well as three operating systems—HOS (Harmony OS), AOS and VOS, focusing on automobile cockpit, intelligent driving and smart vehicle control.
Powered by the computing and operating systems, vehicles can be “defined by software” with new functions being continually developed, according to Wang Jun, president of Huawei Smart Car Solution BU.
The foundation of the “HI”, which stands for HUAWEI Intelligent Automotive Solution, is of not only a technical innovation for intelligent vehicle field, but also represents an innovation of business models, said Wang Jun.
The “HI” solutions will embrace a highly automated driving system (ADS) which is based on a Level 4 autonomous driving architecture and is able to provide full-stack solutions for Level 2 plus to Level 4 autonomous driving.
