li yunfei, general manager of byd group's brand and public relations department, said on weibo on august 27 that byd fangchengbao and huawei qiankun intelligent driving officially announced their cooperation, and the first model to be used is bao 8. li yunfei said that the two teams started to connect very early and have been developing for a long time. in the future, new models of fangchengbao brand will also be developed together with huawei.

from the outside world's perspective, the partnership between huawei, which possesses powerful smart driving technology, and byd, which has mature new energy vehicle manufacturing capabilities, is a powerful combination in the field of smart electric vehicles.

as for huawei, in recent years it has continued to invest in research and development in the field of smart cars, helping car companies to build and sell good cars. it has successively teamed up with seres, chery, baic, and jac to launch four major brands: wenjie, zhijie, xiangjie, and zunjie. among them, wenjie has the best sales volume, second only to ideal among all new forces in the first half of the year. huawei has shown its prowess in the field of smart driving.

in april this year, yu chengdong wrote an article stating that due to huawei's large amount of r&d investment in intelligent driving technology, huawei's high-end intelligent driving models priced below 300,000 yuan are actually sold at a loss.

for byd, although it has been deeply engaged in the field of new energy vehicle manufacturing for many years and has mature manufacturing capabilities, it is still slightly weak in terms of intelligence, especially compared with tesla, xiaopeng and other car companies with higher levels of intelligence. there is a certain gap.

it is worth mentioning that before byd and huawei joined hands to cooperate in the field of intelligent driving, we have to mention their previous attitudes towards intelligent driving.

on march 29 last year, byd chairman wang chuanfu said at an investor meeting, "autonomous driving is all nonsense. anything fancy is just a scam. a car accident has made this brand's car unsellable. autonomous driving is just a high-level assisted driving that is driven by capital."

subsequently, in april 2023, richard yu, huawei's executive director, ceo of the device bg, and ceo of the intelligent automotive solutions bu, responded to the above speech at the launch of the new m5 high-end intelligent driving version before the shanghai auto show: "recently, some industry leaders have said that intelligent driving is nonsense. i think there are two reasons. they don't understand the industry and deliberately say so, or they have not yet done their job in this area and deliberately say so."

he added: "the big guys who said this must be deliberately attacking this industry. being far ahead is not something you can just say casually. you can only brag about it if you have achieved it."
