"Re-build" seems to beHuaweiThe usual path of intelligent car selection.

　　On April 11th, at Huawei’s spring communication meeting, the first intelligent selection model of Huawei and Chery, Zhijie S7, ushered in a "rebirth". It is worth noting that, together with the new intelligent S7, there is Huawei’s visual intelligent driving scheme.

　　This is also the first case of a pure visual solution in China. Huawei’s move is also directed at Tesla, the originator of the visual intelligent driving solution.

　　It is worth noting that the cooperation between Huawei and Chery has also been questioned by the market due to the previous obstacles in the delivery of Zhijie S7. This time, when Yin Tongyue, Party Secretary and Chairman of Chery Holding Group, appeared to talk about the feelings of cooperation between the two sides, he did not hesitate to praise them.

　　The first pure visual intelligent driving scheme in China

　　Zhijie S7 is positioned as a medium and large-sized pure electric car, which is the only car model currently on sale in HarmonyOS Zhixing, and it is also the first smart car model jointly selected by Chery and Huawei.

　　It is reported that Zhijie S7 is equipped with Huawei’s technologies or functions such as Huawei ADS2.0 advanced intelligent driving system, a new generation of HUAWEI DriveONE power platform, Huawei Turing intelligent chassis, HUAWEI xMotion intelligent body collaborative control system, etc., and its "Chinese content" is extremely high.

　　At this communication meeting, this model ushered in a "secondary listing". According to Yu Chengdong, CEO of Huawei BG and chairman of BU, a smart car solution, Zhijie S7 is equipped with a 192-line laser radar of the same model as Wenjie M9, with the longest detection range of 250m, which is 20% higher than the industry average.

　　At the same time, the model is equipped with Huawei Whale 800V high-voltage battery platform and 800V high-voltage overcharge, with a power consumption as low as 12.4kWh per 100 kilometers, a long battery life of 855km, and an increase of 215km battery life after charging for 5 minutes.

　　It is reported that Zhijie S7 offers a total of five models, with the price ranging from 249,800 yuan to 349,800 yuan. This price range is consistent with the initial listing of Zhijie S7. However, the new Zhijie S7 has launched a brand-new Ultra version, which uses a 100kWh battery pack, while the Max and Max+ versions have reduced the price by 20,000 yuan compared with the first listing.

　　It is worth noting that, together with the new intelligent S7, there is the basic version of Huawei Visual Intelligent Driving HUAWEI ADS. This also means that Huawei has adopted a pure vision autopilot scheme for the first time, that is, it does not rely on lidar, thus lowering the threshold for intelligent driving.

　　Yu Chengdong revealed that Huawei Visual Intelligent Driving HUAWEI ADS Basic Edition can realize NCA intelligent driving navigation assistance for national expressways and urban expressways, such as intelligent driving up and down ramps, encountering road construction, cone-barrel diversion and other scenes, and has certain ability to change lanes independently, avoid obstacles and bypass.

　　In fact, Tesla, as a unique existence in the global automobile factory, has always adhered to the pure visual autopilot scheme. Tesla algorithm design is based on the first principle, with the help of BEV vision algorithm and grid network to realize the bird’s eye view of three-dimensional space, and integrates the time series characteristics, which greatly narrows the gap with the lidar scheme.

　　At the same time, Tesla data terminal drives its own perception, decision-making and planning algorithm iteration with the help of huge active vehicles.

　　Yu Chengdong revealed that compared with Tesla’s pure vision scheme, Huawei’s vision intelligent driving scheme has a coverage rate of 99.5%. This also means that Huawei has become the first intelligent driver in China to adopt a pure vision solution, which officially challenges Tesla’s FSD autopilot solution.

　　Yin Tongyue appeared to talk about cooperation with Huawei.

　　The second listing of Zhijie S7 is less than half a year away from the first listing. On November 9 last year, Zhijie S7 was listed for the first time, and by November 28, the booking volume had exceeded 20,000, which once caused market expectation.

　　However, due to the rhythm of mass production, the delivery volume of this model was less than 1,000 units in the four months after its launch, and HarmonyOS Zhixing subsequently introduced the compensation scheme for delayed delivery of Zhijie S7 to maintain the order.

　　However, a large number of scheduled owners of Zhijie S7 have also posted articles on social platforms complaining about the delivery problem, and the dissatisfaction has spread to the aspects that the delivery of vehicles is not in the fixed order, the NOA smart driving function in Huawei City is slow to open, and the delivered vehicles have workmanship defects. Even under the compensation scheme of Zhijie S7 in HarmonyOS Zhixing App, many users still expressed their dissatisfaction with the repeated delay in delivery.

　　At the China Electric Vehicle committee of 100 Forum in March this year, Yu Chengdong responded for the first time. "Because the chips are out of stock and the factory relocation has delayed mass production and listing." Yu Chengdong said, "It is expected to return to normal in April."

　　The delivery problem of the intellectual community has also caused the market to doubt the cooperation between Chery and Huawei.

　　At this communication meeting, Yin Tongyue openly talked about the cooperation between the two sides. He said that in order to ensure the delivery of vehicles, Chery has set up a completely independent intellectual team business unit. "I communicate with Mr. Yu at least once a month (face to face), online every week, and even WeChat every day."

　　"Huawei’s team is more meticulous than the Germans, and the pursuit of details is beyond our imagination." At the meeting, he paid tribute to Huawei. He bluntly said, "If China wants to build a good car, it cannot do without Huawei. If China wants to change from a big car country to a world power, it needs the blessing and empowerment of Huawei HarmonyOS system."

　　As for the crystallization of both sides-intellectual S7, Yin Tongyue repeatedly mentioned "far beyond my imagination". He even laughed and said, "Chinese words are hard to describe, and the English word amazing is more suitable."

　　Can the intellectual world "return to the furnace" reproduce the highlight moment?

　　In fact, the "returning to the furnace" of Zhijie S7 model is also quite expected by the market, because the effect of "returning to the furnace" on the M7 is obvious to all.

　　As early as 2022, the AITO series jointly built by Huawei and () became a "dark horse" in the new energy vehicle market in one fell swoop after the models were delivered one after another, with the highest monthly sales exceeding 12,000.

　　However, the good times did not last long. Since November, 2022, the sales of M7 in the world have declined rapidly. Especially after April 2023, its monthly sales volume was continuously lower than 1,000 vehicles, and the lowest was only 432 vehicles. It was not until September 12th, 2023 that the sales volume was reversed with the launch of the new M7. Subsequently, the M7 model in the world was once on the verge of "out" and jumped into the industry "explosion" in a short time.

　　This also made AITO become the champion of new forces for several months in a row, and Yu Chengdong called "coming back to life" afterwards. Yu Chengdong also revealed at the communication meeting that the M7 has delivered 174,000 vehicles so far, and the number of M9 models has reached 70,000.

　　Nowadays, this technique is "copied" in the intellectual world S7, and whether it can work or not needs market test.
