When intelligent driving meets National Day, leading players show their "real skills"

Since entering the "golden September and silver October", the automotive industry has been extremely hot.

Many automakers have released blockbuster models. According to statistics, more than 30 automakers released about 46 models in September, making it the month with the most new car releases this year.

There are many new cars among these, and they all have a common selling point: they are all equipped with Huawei's Qiankun intelligent driving system.

Just before National Day, many people discovered that Huawei's new Qiankun billboards quietly landed in major airports across the country, with a new slogan: "Qiankun guards, intelligent driving in the nine provinces."

The eight-character slogan not only fits the travel scenario of Chinese people during the National Day holiday, but also highlights the value proposition of Huawei Qiankun, allowing users to enjoy smart driving travel with peace of mind and appreciate the beautiful scenery of the motherland.

The word "smart driving" fully demonstrates the new trend of current fashion lifestyle.

According to data from the Ministry of Transport, from October 1 to 7, the total cross-regional personnel flow in society is expected to be about 2.008 billion, with an average daily year-on-year growth of 4.1%.

In terms of road travel, the cumulative passenger flow was approximately 1.85 billion, with an average daily year-on-year growth of 3.9%.

Among them, self-driving travel accounted for more than 80%, becoming the absolute mainstream of travel during the National Day holiday.

The complex traffic scenes during the National Day holiday have become an excellent opportunity to examine the real effects of intelligent driving products. With the improvement of the performance of intelligent driving products, the penetration rate of high-end intelligent driving is also rising, and "intelligent driving travel" is expected to become a new label for national travel.

Leading smart driving players, represented by Huawei Qiankun and Ideal, have shown off their smart driving travel "report cards" during the National Day holiday.

On October 9, Huawei Automotive BU released the "2024 Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving National Day Travel Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report"), and the data showed:

From 0:00 on October 1 to 24:00 on October 7, the number of users of all Huawei Qiankun cooperative models (i.e. the number of vehicles with intelligent driving mileage not equal to 0) reached 278,000, and the total intelligent driving mileage reached 85.717 million kilometers. It is worth noting that the proportion of Huawei Qiankun users' intelligent driving mileage to the total cumulative mileage has exceeded 40% (41.1%).

Among the "self-driving" crowd, the proportion of "intelligent driving" has exceeded many people's expectations. From "self-driving" to "intelligent driving", the driving force behind the new driving trend is none other than the Chinese new energy vehicle participants who are famous for their hard-core technology.

Faced with the surge in traffic volume, the current "high ground" of intelligent driving technology, urban intelligent driving pilot, is tantamount to fighting a "encounter battle", and the results are officially announced.

01. Intelligent driving in urban areas: the most valuable intelligent driving technology competition has come out

The report shows that during the National Day holiday, Huawei Qiankun intelligent driving cooperation models accumulated a total mileage of 210 million kilometers, of which the total intelligent driving mileage was 85.717 million kilometers, accounting for 41.1% of the intelligent driving mileage; the total intelligent driving mileage in urban areas was 13.349 million kilometers, accounting for 15.57% of the total intelligent driving mileage.

At the same time, data from the "Ideal Auto Car Usage Report during the National Day Holiday" showed that Ideal Auto's total mileage during the holiday reached 550 million kilometers, of which the total intelligent driving mileage was 82.135 million kilometers, accounting for about 14.93% of the intelligent driving mileage; the total intelligent driving mileage in urban areas was 7.261 million kilometers, accounting for about 8.84% of the total intelligent driving mileage.

The level of user trust is reflected in the usage rate of the product. In comparison, although Ideal has a larger number of models and a longer total mileage, its intelligent driving mileage accounts for only 14.93%, far lower than Huawei Qiankun's 41.1% of intelligent driving mileage.

This fully demonstrates that Huawei Qiankun has won the wide trust of users with its advanced technical strength and excellent technical maturity, making users feel worry-free, safe and reassured during use, once again demonstrating its leading position in the field of intelligent driving.

Intelligent driving in urban areas is the touchstone for measuring the technical quality of an intelligent driving product.

Compared with driving on highways, traffic conditions in urban roads are more complicated, which also puts higher demands on intelligent driving technology. In this regard, Huawei Qiankun's urban intelligent driving mileage accounted for 15.57%, once again ahead of Ideal's 8.84%.

In fact, Huawei Qiankun’s leading position in this data is also expected.

As the saying goes, "intelligent driving covers all the lands, connecting the north and the south." As early as the ADS 2.0 stage, Huawei Qiankun's intelligent driving technology was already ahead of other intelligent driving players.

While other manufacturers are still relying on high-precision maps for intelligent driving and competing to open up the number of cities for NCA, Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving is the first to achieve nationwide operation on public roads.

Some time ago, with the large-scale push of Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 version, it has now covered many models including the entire series of Wenjie, the entire series of Avita, Xiangjie S9, Zhijie R7 and the new Lantu Dreamer Qiankun version.

Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving has officially evolved from "can be driven anywhere in the country" to "easy to drive anywhere in the country".

So, what can one of the best smart driving products in China today bring to users?

The first is to improve efficiency, and the second is to ensure safety.

The improvement in user driving efficiency comes largely from the widespread use of parking functions.

In the last 100 meters of intelligent driving, in terms of intelligent parking, Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 advanced intelligent driving system has comprehensively upgraded the parking capability, and has achieved breakthroughs in a series of intelligent driving capabilities such as automatic identification of parking spaces, automatic parking, and valet parking, which can achieve "parking as soon as you see it".

The report also confirms this point again. The number of times Huawei Qiankun's intelligent parking assistance was used reached 2.5332 million times, far higher than the ideal 1.676 million times.

Among them, APA percentage (intelligent parking assistance) accounts for 73.05%; AVP percentage (valet parking assistance) accounts for 5.30%; and leaving the car and parking (leaving and parking assistance) accounts for 21.65%.

Safety is the greatest luxury. Intelligent driving products mainly rely on anti-collision systems to ensure user driving safety.

The report shows that Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving avoided possible collision risks 51,700 times, once again ahead of Ideal's 14,000 times, and once again confirmed the slogan of "Qiankun Guardian".

This is thanks to the instinctive safety network introduced by Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0, which is also a major difference between Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving and the industry.

The so-called instinctive safety network is Huawei's end-to-end network based on safety first. When dealing with more complex road conditions, the safety emergency response capability is also extremely fast and timely, maintaining the lower limit of safety.

For users, Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 is not just a technology, but also a synonym for safety, efficiency and convenience.

With the continuous upgrading and iteration of technology, smart driving will become the mainstream mode of travel for people, and will continuously bring users more efficient and safe travel experience.

02. Huawei Qiankun's "circle of friends" is expanding rapidly. Who will join the game changers?

In April this year, during the Beijing Auto Show, Jin Yuzhi, CEO of Huawei Intelligent Automotive Solutions BU, mentioned at a press conference that 2024 will be the first year of large-scale commercial use of intelligent driving.

This prediction has gradually been verified with the launch of Huawei's new brand Qiankun and its subsequent explosive development.

September 2024 can be seen as a turning point in the development of Huawei Qiankun’s intelligent driving business.

In the past month, Huawei Qiankun seemed to have pressed the accelerator on the smart car track and left the others far behind.

From the stunning debut of the five-seater version of the M9, to the gorgeous upgrade of the Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS 3.0 version, to the launch of new models in cooperation with major automakers, Huawei Qiankun has shined in the high-end SUV, MPV and sedan market segments.

The path for Huawei's Automotive BU to help automakers "build better cars" is becoming clearer and clearer, and its "circle of friends" is also growing.

Today, Qiankun Intelligent Driving’s first batch of partners, including Dongfeng, Changan, GAC, BAIC, SERES, Chery and JAC, have also delivered impressive results.
