PR90392
GUANGZHOU, China, June 30, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
GAC has long been a partner of leading Chinese ride-hailing app Didi and
Chinese tech giant Huawei. By pooling resources, data, and scientific research,
GAC and the two tech firms are excited to work together on the future of the
automobile industry.
GAC has a long history of cooperation with Didi, having held a stake in the
company for years, and signing an extensive bilateral cooperation deal in 2019
agreeing to work together on vehicle promotion and customization, driverless
travel, intelligent charging and refueling technologies. Many of China's taxis
are made by GAC, meaning that the two companies' work is closely intertwined:
knowledge of and improvements to automobile technology is highly useful to
Didi, and GAC benefits from access to Didi's mountains of data.
Chinese tech giant Huawei is another powerful addition to this pool of
technological resources. One of GAC MOTOR's core brand values is technology
innovation, that is, finding ways to make cars more intelligent, more
efficient, and more enjoyable to drive. A world-class smartphone provider,
Huawei regularly produces cutting-edge technology in fields such as voice and
facial recognition, IoT connectivity, "smart" appliances, cameras and charging
technology, to name just a few. Having cooperative access to Huawei's research
and technology gives GAC a strong edge in the production of world-class in-car
systems.
One exciting project that GAC is working towards in cooperation with Huawei and
Didi is "Level 4" autonomous vehicles, which can operate almost entirely
without input from humans (current driver-assist mechanisms are classed as
Level 2 autonomy).
Combining resources from the three parties, intelligent L4 vehicles are planned
to be mass produced by 2024, utilizing GAC design and manufacturing
capabilities and automatic driving software from Didi and Huawei. Didi's
intelligent hardware platform, Didi Gemini, is already being road-tested by
several multinational car companies, making Didi now one of the important
players in the field of automatic driving, with experts calling the company's
technological achievements in this area "impossible to ignore".
Didi founder Cheng Wei has predicted that Didi will host more than 1 million
autonomous vehicles by 2025. GAC is eager to be part of the team driving
towards this vision of the future, which embodies the GAC MOTOR spirit of GO
AND CHANGE.
With so many exciting avenues of research, the future is looking very bright
for cleaner, greener and smarter automobiles.
