Yu Chengdong also specifically explained that before, he said that the "HI" model of cooperation between Huawei and BAIC was not cooperative. "It is not non-cooperation. Our cooperation with BAIC has been upgraded to a smart selection model, and the cooperation will be deeper."
In terms of price, HUWEI ADS announced by Huawei includes basic package, advanced package and high-end package. At present, the commercial models that have been cooperated are standard with the basic package and advanced package, and the high-end package can be purchased. The above-mentioned urban NCA and AVP are all in the high-end package scheme. Among them,HUAWEI ADS 1.0 is purchased at a lump sum of 32,000 yuan, with an annual subscription of 6,400 yuan and a monthly subscription in 640 yuan. HUAWEI ADS 2.0 is purchased at a lump sum of 36,000 yuan, with an annual subscription of 7,200 yuan and a monthly subscription in 720 yuan.
At the meeting, Huawei’s self-developed AR HUD made its debut. It is understood that,Huawei AR-HUD can replace the on-board instrument, and the effect far exceeds the instrument.Compared with ordinary HUD (Head-up Display Device), it has stronger functions and better effects.
Yu Chengdong said that Huawei AR-HUD adopted Huawei’s AutOptiX intelligent vehicle light technology, which enabled the car to enter the light display era.
The scheme is equipped with LCoS (micron pixel unit, 2K resolution), three-color LED light source (entrance brightness of 12000nits, color gamut NTSC > 85%), short-focus lens (clearer image, distortion < 2%) and polarizing component (light energy utilization rate of 90%, contrast ratio of 1200:1).
In terms of specifications,Huawei AR-HUD has the largest mass-produced frame in the industry, which can achieve the equivalent display effect of 70 inches at 7.5 meters and 96 inches at 10 meters, and has the highest resolution of 1922×730 mass-produced HUD.
Functionally, Huawei AR-HUD is deeply integrated with intelligent driving system for the first time, which can realize real-life presentation.In addition to car-level AR navigation, it can also project reversing images on the windshield and realize giant screen viewing. The effect is very shocking.
Yu Chengdong revealed that,Huawei AR-HUD will be launched by M9.It will be carried on more models in the future.
In addition, Huawei also released new products such as the brand-new in-vehicle entertainment screen category HUAWEI xScene light field screen and HUAWEI xPixel smart car light solution.
According to reports,HUAWEI xScene light field screenIt can break through the physical space limit in the car, bring a viewing experience of 3 meters away and 40 inches, and effectively reduce visual fatigue; At the same time, the world’s first car display low motion sickness gold standard was obtained, which effectively relieved motion sickness.
HUAWEI xPixel intelligent car light solution, to achieve a million pixels of refined lighting and smart lighting expression. High-precision ADB (adaptive high beam) is altruistic and selfish; The first intelligent light carpet, to achieve security protection.

Before officially unveiling the new product, Yu Chengdong shared his views on the development trend of intelligent electric vehicles. Yu Chengdong believes that smart electric vehicles are strikingly similar to the era of smart phones more than a decade ago. Since the launch of the iPhone, the sales of smart phones have gradually increased, and feature phones have gradually withdrawn from the historical stage.
"Because I was in charge of Huawei’s terminal business ten years ago, I deeply felt at that time that with such fierce market competition or major changes in the industry, many giants may find it difficult to survive and many mobile phone manufacturers will disappear." Yu Chengdong said. Indeed, many giants in the field of feature phones have disappeared.
Yu Chengdong judged,Smart electric vehicles will reproduce the change from feature phones to smart phones. In time, 2025 will be a watershed in the era of smart electric vehicles.
"The great changes in today’s era remind us that if we don’t work hard, we can’t seize the opportunity of change in the era of intelligent electric networked vehicles, especially the opportunity of automation. No matter how powerful the company is today, it may disappear in the future. When the giant falls, he may still be warm. " Yu Chengdong stressed.
Yu Chengdong believes that in the era of intelligent electric vehicles, the first half of industry competition is electrification and the second half is intellectualization."Our first half is important in sports competitions, but the second half is the key to winning." In the electric vehicle industry, the hardware determines the experience in the first half, and the software determines the experience in the second half.
