Huawei will establish a research institute in Changchun, with smart cars and artificial intelligence as the focus

On August 10, Jilin University and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. held a symposium to deepen cooperation.

Yang Zhenbin, Secretary of the Party Committee of Jilin University, pointed out that Jilin University signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Huawei in 2018. In the future, the school will fully support Huawei in establishing a research institute in Changchun. In the future, it will open relevant courses based on Huawei's independent and controllable technologies in relevant colleges such as computer science and software to create a joint innovation and training cooperation model.

At the same time, he pointed out that Jilin University will fully support Huawei in establishing a research institute in Changchun, cooperate with Huawei in scientific research and innovation in 5G, optics, industrial Internet, Internet of Vehicles and smart cars, and promote industry-university-research cooperation.

Tao Jingwen, President of Huawei's Quality and Process IT Management Department, expressed his hope to work with Jilin University to cultivate relevant talents needed for the Kunpeng computing industry. Huawei will set up a research institute in Changchun. In terms of scientific research cooperation, Huawei will rely on the Changchun Research Institute to continue to increase cooperation with Jilin University in multiple disciplines and fields such as smart cars and artificial intelligence in the future.

It is not difficult to see from the above content that Huawei Changchun Research Institute will be established and will be deployed in multiple fields such as smart cars and artificial intelligence.

At present, Huawei's layout in the field of smart cars is gradually unfolding.

At the end of May, Huawei officially established the Intelligent Automotive Solutions BU and once again emphasized that it will "not build cars, but focus on ICT technology and become an incremental ICT component supplier for automobiles."

On July 5, Huawei's application for Class A qualification for producing navigation electronic maps was published on the website of the Ministry of Natural Resources. After the publication is passed, Huawei will become the 20th company in my country that can legally produce autonomous driving maps (high-precision maps) and can carry out business research and development related to autonomous driving.

In addition, Huawei also released a new 5G multi-mode terminal chip, Balong 5000, at the beginning of the year. This chip is the world's first in-vehicle multi-mode chip that supports V2X (information exchange between the vehicle and the outside world) and supports autonomous driving.

In addition, Changchun has a certain foundation in the automobile industry. China FAW, located in Changchun, is one of the earliest companies in China to carry out research and development of intelligent connected vehicle technology.
