Recently, Jin Yuzhi, President of Huawei Car BU, replied to the questions of old AVATR owners about upgrading to ADS3.0. Since they have bought Huawei's intelligent driving technology, everyone hopes that intelligent driving can be upgraded to the latest version, so they are especially looking forward to Huawei upgrading to ADS3.0 for them, and many car owners say that they are willing to spend money to upgrade. Jin Yuzhi said: "Everyone is looking forward to the launch of Qiankun ADS3.0 intelligent driving technology, and now users who have bought cars are particularly concerned about whether ADS1.0 and ADS2.0 can be upgraded to ADS3.0, as long as we buy AVATR ADS intelligent driving models, we can upgrade from 1.0 and 2.0 to ADS3.0 without replacing hardware." Why are old car owners very concerned about this problem, and even willing to pay, why can Hua be upgraded, and free upgrades? There are several reasons for this.
The first reason is that everyone wants to use the latest technology. AVATR is a new energy vehicle brand jointly created by Changan Automobile, CATL and Huawei. CATL is responsible for battery production, Huawei is responsible for intelligent driving technology, and Changan Automobile is responsible for vehicle design and manufacturing. Now Huawei's intelligent driving technology Qiankun ADS3.0 has been made and is ready to be used for the first time on the Xiangjie S9. Yu Chengdong also said at a conference that after the first launch of the Xiangjie S9, it will upgrade the new and old users of the M5, M7, and Zhijie S7 before the end of the year, and AVATR was not mentioned at that time, so the old owners of AVATR are very concerned about this matter, and they also hope to upgrade to ADS3.0 intelligent driving technology.
The second reason is that everyone is used to paying for paid services that cost money to upgrade. Nowadays, many companies particularly emphasize paying for upgrades, especially foreign brand cars, even if they upgrade the navigation map, they have to pay 2000 yuan, not to mention high-tech services such as intelligent driving, so upgrading services has become the norm, old car owners actively expressed their willingness to spend money to upgrade to ADS3.0, so that they never imagined that Huawei does not charge.
The third reason is that the intelligent driving hardware design of the old AVATR has room for upgrading. If you want to upgrade the software to the latest version, you should also see whether the hardware redundancy of the old AVATR is enough to see if there is room for improvement. In fact, when Huawei designs intelligent driving hardware, it has already considered the issue of later upgrades. In terms of software, Huawei will develop different software for upgrading according to the hardware situation, so the old AVATAR, Zhijie S7, Wenjie M5, and M7 can all be upgraded to ADS3.0.
