Huawei’s upcoming ADAS software will feature ‘end-to-end AI’: executive TechNode

Huawei is pushing for a broad release of its Advanced Driving System 3.0 in August, which Richard Yu, chairman of the board of the company’s Intelligent Automotive Solutions division, said will take automated driving capabilities “to the next level.” Yu made the comments Monday in the southwestern municipality of Chongqing, where electric vehicle brand Aito announced it had produced its 400,000th electric vehicle, two and a half years after it was founded 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 AI,” an approach championed by Tesla that uses in-vehicle sensors to feed data into a single neural network and generate 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 that the next big leap in the system’s user experience will come as early as late October or November.
