AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/19 Report--

Since Huawei first introduced its own self-driving technology last week, and Guan Xuan and BAIC's new energy brand Jihu jointly launched the first "Huawei Inside" intelligent luxury pure electric car BAIC Alpha S, which has attracted a lot of market attention. Not only triggered heated discussion among many netizens, Meituan Wang Xing also made comments a few days ago, but was bombarded by netizens.

On the evening of April 17, BAIC's new energy brand Jihu, in conjunction with Huawei, launched the first "Huawei Inside" intelligent luxury pure electric car BAIC Alpha S, priced between 25.19 and 344900 yuan.

The full range of the new car uses Huawei fast charging technology, the intelligent cockpit is equipped with Hongmeng OS operating system and Huawei Kirin on-board chip, which can be recharged for only 10 minutes, increasing the range of 197km. The price starts at 251900 yuan and the highest price is 344900 yuan. The basic version of the HI version with Huawei ADS highway self-driving function costs 388900 yuan and the high-end version costs 429900 yuan.

Su Jing, chief architect of Huawei ADS and president of smart driving product line, believes that the Alpha S HI version is just the beginning for Huawei. Although Huawei has repeatedly stressed that it will not build cars, Huawei will have a huge impact on the shape and format of cars.

At the launch site, Su Jing also mentioned that "traditional car factories tend to think that cars are the main body of the future, and there are some single points of computers above", but "the basis of future cars is computers." the difference between the two ideas that cars are computer-controlled peripherals (car computerization) has led to fundamental differences in practices between the two types of companies.

The next day, Meituan's Wang Xing posted two comments on social media. In the first paragraph, Wang Xing quoted Huawei Su Jing's different ideas about traditional automakers and Huawei's cars about the future. At the same time, Tesla finally met an opponent with equal technical strength and ability to cheat.

Unexpectedly, this comment immediately aroused heated discussion among netizens all over the country. Originally looks like Wang Xing to Huawei's sigh, can to the standard Tesla brand. As we all know, Tesla has become a leader in today's intelligent cars, but the words "hoodwinking ability" were added to the comments, which immediately made people feel that Wang Xing was suspected of satirizing Huawei.

Although a short sentence, but some outsiders have interpreted several% of the meaning, such as Huawei does have the strength to compete with Tesla; or Tesla's ability to deceive is very strong, but Huawei's ability to deceive is not weak; and can be as skilled as Tesla and able to cheat, Huawei can be regarded as an opponent.

In any case, Wang Xing's mixed comments did set off a heated discussion on the Internet, with some agreeing with and some disagreeing with Wang Xing's views. As one netizen said, he thinks that Wang Xing mentioned the ability to deceive or refer to marketing ability, just like BYD, which does have a certain strength in the new energy market, but it is often hacked because of its weak marketing ability. so only Wang Xing can explain the real meaning of this comment.

Although Wang Xing, as Meituan's CEO, is not a person in the automobile industry, Wang Xing can be regarded as a deep player in the new energy automobile industry. As the largest individual shareholder of ideal Automobile, it holds 23.5% of the shares of ideal Automobile.

And Wang Xing showed a high degree of attention to electric vehicles a long time ago, not only as the first batch of domestic Tesla Model S users. He has also expressed his opinion on the pattern of automobile enterprises, believing that ideal, NIO and Xiaopeng will be the three new car-building forces that can survive in the future, which is widely accepted by the industry. It can be said that Wang Xing not only has a certain interest in new energy vehicles, but also has a deeper understanding of the new energy vehicle market, so the comments on Huawei are not groundless.
