In June 2019, Huawei issued an internal document announcing the establishment of a smart car solution BU, which is under the management of the ICT Management Committee.
In May this year, Huawei joined forces with 18 Chinese car companies to establish the "5G car ecosphere" in order to accelerate the commercial process of 5G technology in the automotive industry.
Huawei said that 5G cars have become a strategic high point and innovation hotspot for the development of the automotive industry, and the high speed, low latency and high reliability of 5G technology will open up a whole new imaginary space for scenarios such as intelligent network connection, intelligent transportation, and autonomous driving.
