In fact, to some extent, it is not new for car companies or technology companies to open up their patents. One important reason is that the industry has forced technology sharing to become an important choice for technological change.

A typical example in the industry is that Toyota has disclosed new energy technologies to the industry many times before. Obviously, the current competition among companies for the technological trends of the future automotive industry has entered a white-hot stage, and multiple technology routes have become the norm for competition, and the market's choice of technology routes is more based on the maturity of the market and supply chain. Just like Tesla's opening of all electric vehicle patents at the end of 2018 and Volkswagen's announcement of the opening of the MEB platform in March 2019, Huawei's disclosure of patents related to the "roof adjustment system" is also based on long-term development, in the hope of gaining more in the future automotive market.
