It is fashionable these days to see companies specializing in the automotive industry working with major technology companies on self-driving technology to increase the speed at which this technology develops. Thus, it should not be surprising to see Audi decide to cooperate with Huawei on self-driving technology together. This partnership is mainly for self-driving cars that will be sold by Audi in China due to local laws.
China has made it compulsory for foreign car manufacturers to work with local companies if they wish to make cars in the country. While it has relaxed the rules for the construction of factories for the manufacture of cars, it maintains strict controls for permits to test self-driving technology and licenses for digital maps of the country's roads. These maps are crucial for self-driving systems, which is why companies such as BMW and Ford have decided to cooperate with Baidu.
Huawei and Audi did not disclose the terms of their contract. They have just said that this will lead to cooperation in auto-driving. Huawei Mobile Data Center was integrated into an initial version of the Audi Q7 that was shown to the public during the Huawei Connect 2018 event.
This Huawei Mobile Data Center data center is said to contain many artificial intelligence chips, LIDAR cameras, and CPU, installed on the roof of the vehicle. Huawei will work with Audi to connect cars and enhance communication.
