Huawei is family Archivespushing for the wide release of its Advanced Driving System 3.0 in August, a move Richard Yu, chairman of the board of directors of the company’s Intelligent Automotive Solution business unit, said would bring automated driving capabilities “to the next level.” Yu made the comments on Monday in the southwestern municipality of Chongqing where electric vehicle brand Aito announced it had produced its 400,000th EV, two and a half year after it was established by Huawei and its manufacturing partner Seres in December, 2021. Yu said the upcoming version of the company’s advanced driver assistance system will feature a new strategy with “end-to-end artificial intelligence,” an approach championed by Tesla and utilizing sensors on a vehicle to input to a single neural network and produce control actions as output. Yu added that Huawei will continue to use lidar units, a relatively expensive sensor, in addition to cameras and radar to navigate the surrounding environment, and the system’s next great leap in user experience will happen as soon as late October or November.
