Huawei Sets Sight on Autonomous Vehicle Technology by 2025
Huawei Dives into Self-Driving and Electric Vehicles Amidst U.S. Sanctions
In a significant move, Huawei Technologies, the world's largest telecommunications equipment maker, has announced its foray into the development of self-driving and electric vehicles. This shift in business strategy comes in response to the U.S. sanctions that have hampered Huawei's global smartphone business.
At an industry conference, a senior executive from Huawei's smart vehicle unit revealed that the team's goal is to reach true driverless passenger cars by 2025. This ambitious project is part of a broader collaboration between startups, automakers, and large technology firms working on the development of self-driving vehicle systems.
The transportation industry is expected to undergo a sea change due to self-driving vehicle systems. Baidu Inc, one of the large technology firms accelerating work on self-driving vehicle systems, is also involved in this collaborative effort. Dozens of startups are also accelerating their work in this field.
Unspecified automakers are also part of this collaborative venture, demonstrating the widespread interest in the development of self-driving vehicles. The development of driverless passenger car technology is a priority for Huawei's smart vehicle unit.
The diversification of Huawei's business into smart electric vehicles is a strategic response to the U.S. sanctions. Huawei Technologies has previously been labeled a threat to U.S. national security by the previous administration, a claim that the company denies.
Despite the challenges, Huawei remains committed to its goal of developing driverless passenger car technology. The leader of Huawei's research team for driverless passenger cars, Wang Jun, is working diligently on technology development until 2025.
As the race to develop self-driving vehicles heats up, it remains to be seen how Huawei's entry into this market will impact the industry. One thing is certain, however: the future of transportation is looking increasingly autonomous.
