Rumors online that Toyota will cooperate with Huawei
Yiche News: According to sources familiar with the matter, Toyota's global models will adopt a joint solution model of Toyota, Huawei, and Momenta for intelligent driving. This solution is different from Huawei's current ADS advanced assisted driving system, but a brand new intelligent driving system developed through deep cooperation among three parties. According to insiders, Toyota is expected to officially announce its specific plans during the Beijing Auto Show.
Just yesterday, a car blogger revealed that a certain Japanese brand will be using Huawei's intelligent driving system. The blogger said that car fans have confirmed that one of the three major Japanese brands (referring to Toyota, Honda, and Nissan) will be using Huawei's intelligent driving system, but the blogger did not disclose which specific car company it is.
It is understood that the current cooperation between Toyota and Huawei is mainly focused on the intelligent cockpit, for example, the newly launched ninth generation Camry (parameters | inquiry | pictures) is equipped with Huawei's car infotainment system. In terms of market environment, with the rapid rise of domestic new energy manufacturers such as BYD, Japanese brands have been greatly challenged by Chinese manufacturers in terms of both car infotainment systems and intelligent driving, and their market position has been greatly impacted. The latest data shows that Japanese cars, which once accounted for 30% of the market share, have seen their market share drop to 14.4% last month and are expected to hit a new low this year.
