Huawei denies .. and the West is concerned .. Park Fox launches its car with the Huawei system .. and the media attribute it to the Chinese technology giant
The latest emergence of a self-driving electric car has made a global boom, due to the emergence of a car produced by the Chinese and international phone company as well, and many websites and newspapers expanded to publish the news denied by Huawei, and it was not confirmed by the electric car manufacturer Arcfox, which published data, photos and videos on various sites About a car produced in cooperation with Huawei and equipped with Huawei’s advanced high-tech system for self-driving.
And Sputnik published , quoting Yahoo International, as saying: “China’s technology giants announced new directions and big plans in order to go into the world of the auto industry, in a step that is considered new and qualitative in the country that surprised many interested.” And of course, Arab car websites gasped behind the news that turned the globe, fearing the entry of the Chinese genie on the car manufacturing line.
By investigating the truth of the videos, photos and data provided about the new Chinese self-driving car, we conducted this investigation to investigate the truth, and the beginning was with Arcfox, which confirmed to us that it uses only advanced technologies from Huawei known as “Huawei H1”, a technology that depends on intelligence Artificial intelligence provided by Huawei for Arc Fox products.
By investigating the data available on the Arc Fox website, we found that the company advertises only three cars on its website, which is the “ARCFOX-GT RACEEDITION” car, a racing car with a power of 750 kilowatts, generating 1,000 horses, torque of 1320 Nm, and it can accelerate From 0 to 100 km/h in 2.59 seconds, it has a top speed of 255 km/h.
About the second car is the ARCFOX GT, with a power of 1200 kW, generating 1600 hp, a torque of 800 Nm, and it can accelerate to 100 km per hour in a time of 2.59 seconds, and its top speed is 255 km per hour.
In addition to a third SUV, it published a concept attached to a picture without any data about the car, which it called the Arc Fox ECF.
As for the third car, the L4, which caused a lot of confusion about it and about it and the role of Huawei in it, we did not find any indication of it on the “
ARCFOX ” website, although all the company’s advertisements, videos and pictures we found are marked with the Arc Fox sign in the front and in the background.
But the company did not mention it on its official website.
With the rising wave of anger and the increasing frequency of questions about the orientations of the Chinese monster who suffers from great American pressure, articles began pouring in in all international newspapers about the Chinese monster car called “L4 autonomy”, meaning the self-driving car, and the media was divided between confirmed and skeptical.
One by one, Chinese tech giants have reported their plans for the car space over the past few months.
Some internet companies, such as the Chinese search engine provider Baidu, decided to take the help of a traditional automaker to produce cars.
Also Xiaomi, which makes its own smartphones but has asserted for years that it is a light-hearted company that makes money from software services, has also made the leap into the auto industry.
Industry watchers are now speculating who will be next.
Huawei naturally came to their mind.
Huawei seems well suited to building cars – at least because it’s more qualified than some purely internet companies – thanks to its history in manufacturing, supply chain management, brand recognition and an extensive retail network.
But the manufacturer of communication equipment and smartphones.
Huawei has repeatedly denied reports that it will launch a car brand.
Instead, she said her role is to be a Tier 1 supplier to automakers or OEMs (original equipment manufacturers).
Huawei is not an automaker, the company’s rotating chairman of the board of directors Eric Xu emphasized recently at the company’s annual analyst conference in Shenzhen.
Huawei announces that it will help car companies with technologies from its production“Since 2012, I have been personally involved with the presidents and CEOs of all auto OEMs in China as well as CEOs of German and Japanese automakers,” Eric Shaw said in an exclusive statement to TechCrunch.
In the process, I found that the auto industry needed Huawei.
Continuing his denial of Huawei’s production, Xu said, “The strategy has not changed since its launch in 2018, it doesn’t need the Huawei brand, but instead needs our ICT expertise—[ICT]—it needs help building Future oriented vehicles.
What is the CEO of Huawei?And about their role in the auto industry, he said: There are three main roles in car production: car manufacturers with brands such as Audi, Honda, Tesla and soon Apple;
There are also Tier 1 companies that supply auto parts and systems directly to car manufacturers, including established companies such as Bosch, Continental, and now Huawei;
Finally, there are chip suppliers, including Nvidia, Intel and NXP, whose role is increasing in this area as players in the industry make strides toward highly automated vehicles.
We Huawei also make in-house auto chips.
Huawei self-reliance program“Huawei wants to be the next generation of Bosch,” an executive from a Chinese
taxi robotics startup told techcrunch, who asked not to be named.
It implicitly means that it will compete with Bosch in manufacturing parts for car companies.
The fact that Huawei seeks to consolidate its position as a Tier 1 supplier is unmistakable.
So far, it has secured three major clients: automaker BAIC, Changan Automobile Co. and Guangzhou Auto Group, with Xu saying, “We won’t have a lot of these kinds of in-depth cooperation.”
Huawei and the L4 autonomous car?
Video showing the fully autonomous driving of the L4
Arcfox, a new electric passenger car brand under China’s state-owned automaker BAIC, launched its Alpha S model emblazoned with Huawei’s “HI” systems, short for Huawei Inside (not unlike “Powered by Intel”), during the Shanghai Expo. International Automobile in China last Saturday.
Including an electric sedan, its price ranges between 388,900 yuan and 429,900 yuan (about $60,000 to $66,000), and it comes with Huawei functions, including an operating system driven by a chip called Huawei’s Kirin, and a set of applications that run on an operating system known as Harmony OS, automated self-driving system, fast charging and cloud computing.
Perhaps most striking is that the Alpha S has achieved Level 4 capabilities in autonomous driving, which Huawei confirmed to Tech Crunch.
This was a bold statement, as it meant that the car would not require human intervention in most scenarios, meaning that
drivers could take their hands off the steering wheel and fall asleep and “nap.”
However, there are some nuances to this claim.
In a recent interview, Su Qing, general manager of Huawei’s autonomous driving, said the Alpha S is L4 in terms of “experience” but L2 in terms of “legal” responsibilities.
China has only allowed a small number of companies to test safe driverless autonomous vehicles in restricted areas and is a far cry from allowing driverless cars for consumers to roam urban roads.
As it turns out, the functionality of the Huawei “L4” was shown during a demo, as the Arcfox car drove 1,000 kilometers in a crowded Chinese city without human intervention, despite the presence of a safety driver in the driver’s seat.
Vehicle automation is a suite of sensors, including three lids, six millimeter wave radars, 13 ultrasonic radars and 12 cameras, as well as Huawei’s automated driving chipset.
With this automated driver, Huawei preceded Tesla by two levels. Tesla is still playing in the “self-driving” autopilot of the second level, while Huawei provided Huawei to its Chinese counterpart, the technology of the “self-flying” of the fourth level.
“That would be a lot better than Tesla,” Shaw said of the Arc Fox’s capabilities.
The truth and the concept of reality proves itBut some argue that Huawei’s electric-powered car is not the L4 by exact definition.
It appears that the discussion is a matter of semantics.
And push and pull in the global economic, technical and industrial sectors.
“Our cars you see today are really L4s, but I can assure you, I wouldn’t dare let the driver leave the car,” said Su.
“Before you get really big MPI numbers [in miles per active duty intervention], don’t even mention L4.
It’s all just demos.”

“Before you get really big MPI numbers [in miles per intervention], don’t even mention L4.

“It’s not L4 if you can’t remove the safety driver,” the robotaxi CEO argued.
“The demo can be done easily, but removing the driver is very difficult.”
“This technology that Huawei claims is different from L4 autonomous driving,” said a manager working for another Chinese autonomous car startup.
“The challenge now for L4 is not whether you can be driverless but how you can be driverless at all times.”
Whether it’s the L4 or not, Huawei is certainly willing to brag about the future of driving.
This year, the company is on track to spend more than $1 billion on smart vehicle components and technology, Xu said at an analyst event.
Huawei and the future of 5G
Many believe that 5G will play a major role in accelerating the development of self-driving vehicles.
Huawei, the world’s largest telecoms equipment maker, would have a lot to earn from rolling out 5G worldwide, but Xu argued that the next generation of wireless technology isn’t necessary for self-driving vehicles.
“To make self-driving a reality, the vehicles themselves must be autonomous.
This means that the car can drive independently without external support.”
“Totally relying on 5G or 5.5G for autonomous driving will inevitably lead to problems.
What if an error occurs in the 5G site?
This will raise the bar very high for mobile network operators.
They will have to make sure that their nets cover every corner, don’t go wrong in any circumstances and have high levels of resilience.
I think this is just an unrealistic expectation.”
Huawei might be happy enough as a Tier 1 supplier if it ends up dominating the Bosch market.
Many Chinese companies are turning away from Western technology suppliers toward local options in anticipation of future sanctions or simply to look for cheaper, equally powerful alternatives.
Arcfox is just the beginning of Huawei’s automotive ambitions.
The truth is that Huawei makes Chinese alternatives
Chinese monsters are coming with Huawei supportIt is worth noting that the two Chinese companies, “Huawei” and “Cirrus”, officially announced the first electric car that the media reported because it is for them, but it is equipped with Huawei’s advanced technologies for self-driving car, and its price ranges between 27,700 dollars and 31,600 dollars.
According to the “Huawei Central” website, the “Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection SF5” SUV comes with a modern, dynamic and sporty design, to be a competition for the best SUVs today.
Smart Selection SF5 that is sold on various Huawei storesIn terms of its capabilities, the new car will have a maximum power of 405 kW and a maximum torque of 820 Nm, while its acceleration can reach 100 km per hour in 4.68 seconds.
The electric car can also be driven for a distance of more than 1,000 kilometers without the need for recharging.
Most likely, what was said to be Huawei’s first electric car will remain exclusive to the Chinese market, but it is possible to see global manufacturers adopt some of the technologies, developed by Huawei, over the next few years.
And as the “ huawei central ” website announced
today, the Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection SF5 smart car purchase orders exceeded 3000 orders in just two days.
After allowing Cirrus to reserve its car from Huawei Central’s marketing site.
It’s been two days since the Cyrus Huawei Smart Selection SF5 was kept in the new Huawei Flagship Store.
To try this model, customers can visit the flagship store in Nanjing, Chengdu, Vientiane and Shenzhen.
Huawei did not mention the Viam of its manufacture, but focused in its statement on the site on the technologies obtained by the car from Huawei, which is the Huawei technology called “DriveONE” and the “HiCar” technology for autonomous driving of the fourth level, which was previously contracted with the Nissan company about a month ago.
This is in addition to the stereo sound system, which is the bright spot for the car, as described by Huawei Central.
According to the website, Cirrus has informed Huawei that it has registered 3,000 orders for its car equipped with Huawei technology, and the website indicated that it is the first car that Huawei has taken the initiative to sell.
In other words, from now on, Huawei will also sell cars in the company’s official store.
The site said that as of now, the Smart Selection SF5 will also be displayed by April 30 in other Huawei stores as well, including a list of stores where the car will be displayed, confirming that the cost of this car is 216,800 yuan (about $ 33,300) and 246,800 yuan (about $ 38,000). American).
In all cases, after studying the cases of L4 and SF5, it has become certain that Huawei seeks to be the alternative supplier to Bosch with regard to suppliers of car manufacturers, meaning to be a supplier to Chinese car manufacturers with its various technologies, and it will also be the only representative of self-driving operations to reassure the Chinese government and reduce its fears of Any of the international companies obtaining China maps to cover GPS operations for driving cars.
This reassures the Chinese government and makes Huawei a safety valve, whether in terms of the possibility of imposing sanctions on it from America or the European Union, and the sanctions included car companies, and on the other hand, Huawei will be a safety valve from leaking China’s maps that raise the concerns of the Chinese government, which makes it an agent for China maps that will seek all Car companies put him in their cars for fear of losing the giant Chinese market.
