The Chinese tech behemoth and Apple Inc rival Huawei has unveiled its new software brand for intelligent driving, “Qiankun.” This move is part of the company’s strategic plan to establish a significant presence in the electric vehicle (EV) industry.
What Happened: Huawei’s Intelligent Automotive Solution (IAS) business unit CEO, Jin Yuzhi, announced the news ahead of the Beijing auto show, Reuters reported on Wednesday. Qiankun, which symbolizes a blend of heaven and the Kunlun Mountains, is set to provide self-driving systems that cover the driving chassis, audio, and driver’s seat.
Huawei’s ambitious plan to revolutionize intelligent driving by 2024 is backed by Jin’s prediction that “2024 will be the first year for mass commercialization of smart driving and the cumulative number of cars on road equipped with the Huawei self-driving system will top 500,000 by the year-end.”
He also projected that over 10 car models using Huawei's Qiankun system would be on the market within a year.
