How to have the experience of a smart car without changing your car? As for cars, what can you do with less than 2,000 yuan?

On December 21, Huawei officially released a car-mounted smart screen at its whole-house smart and smart screen conference. At this point, Huawei, which has vowed not to build cars, has another starting point in the automotive field.

In April this year, Huawei officially released the HiCar system, entering the field of in-vehicle systems. The biggest advantage of this system is that it can directly map mobile phone content on the car screen. This is because the computing power of the car has not yet reached a perfect level. Under such circumstances, the computing power of mobile phones is used to provide users with an excellent in-car Internet experience. In addition, the system can also realize many functions such as navigation, in-vehicle voice control, and vehicle mobile phone keys.

Thanks to this, at the press conference on the 21st, Huawei Consumer Business President Yu Chengdong said that so far, the HUAWEI HiCar vehicle system has reached cooperation with 20 manufacturers and will be launched on the 18th. Lantu, a high-end brand owned by Dongfeng Group, is also an important partner.

Currently, HiCar has cooperated with more than 150 models. According to Huawei's plan, more than 5 million units will be pre-installed in 2021. HiCar is encircling and suppressing current smart cars, but there are still traditional models that do not have intelligent capabilities, cannot be retrofitted, and do not even have a multimedia screen. Such models still occupy the majority of the market. How can digitalization enter these vehicles? In the car?

Car smart screens are the solution provided by Huawei. For old car owners who cannot use the HiCar system, they can install a rear-mounted car smart screen. Huawei hopes that digitalization can enter every car, and in-car smart screens are Huawei's way of fulfilling this long-cherished wish at a lower price.

Yu Chengdong announced at the final stage that each Huawei car smart screen only costs 1,699 yuan. This means that old car owners do not need to change their cars, they only need to pay less than 2,000 yuan and enjoy the convenience brought by intelligence.

According to our understanding, Huawei’s in-vehicle smart screen is jointly built by driving recorder supplier Dadaipai and HUAWEI HiCar. It is the first domestic in-vehicle smart screen equipped with distributed technology and is also supported by HUAWEI HiCar. The first rear-mounted vehicle product.

According to Yu Chengdong’s introduction, this 8.9-inch Huawei car smart screen has almost all the capabilities of a front-mounted car machine, and can be easily installed using 3M glue on the bottom.

Huawei’s car smart screen is equipped with two cameras on the front and rear. The front 2K ultra-wide-angle camera can record 1440P high-definition driving images. In addition, the lift-type AI camera supports video calls, and when combined with the Huawei smart screen, it can be used for in-car meetings, family video calls, etc.

In addition, it has full interface language control capabilities. You can wake up the voice assistant through passwords such as "Xiaoyi Xiaoyi/Hello, YOYO" to implement commands such as checking the weather, playing functions, and opening navigation. . Although it is a rear-mounted car smart screen, it not only has full-interface voice control capabilities, but also supports air gesture functions. Car owners can use gestures to pause, mute, previous and next songs and other operations of music.

Currently, Huawei’s in-car smart screen supports 30 applications, including popular applications such as NetEase Cloud Music, Himalaya, and bilibili, and will continue to receive HOTA updates. In addition, smart home linkage and cockpit games are also included in the car’s smart screen.

Huawei’s in-car smart screen also supports the HiCar system. To connect your mobile phone to the in-car smart screen, you only need to pair it once, and it will automatically connect when you get in the car to realize the mapping function.

At that time, when the price of smart speakers was still in the high price range of 300-500 yuan, Baidu and Xiaomi quickly took action, lowering the price of smart speakers to less than 100 yuan in one fell swoop, and quickly occupied the market.

Today, Huawei and Xiaomi have similar strategies in the field of smart speakers. They are making every effort to popularize digitalization in cars in a low-cost way.

The car system is an important part of the smart car era. Huawei has lowered the price of in-car smart screens to less than 2,000 yuan, which will become its biggest advantage against competitors in the future.

When car companies and technology companies are setting their sights on intelligent connected systems, Huawei goes one step further and focuses on old car bodies that cannot be retrofitted with pre-installation, opening up a blank market. This is another weight for Huawei, which does not make cars but is keen to help car companies build good cars.
