Huawei’s intelligent automotive solutions arm has announced the second iteration of its Intelligent Driving Competition, inviting users to test their skills and experience the capabilities of Huawei’s advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
Second Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving Competition Announced
The official announcement for the second Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving Competition has been made, setting the stage for a new round of virtual automotive challenges. Registration for the event is slated to open on October 26th, with the competition officially commencing on October 31st and concluding on November 13th.
This event follows the success of the inaugural competition held earlier this year. In March, the first Huawei Qiankun Intelligent Driving Competition saw significant user engagement. The previous event, which opened for registration on March 19th, allowed users equipped with vehicles featuring Huawei’s Qiankun Intelligent Driving ADS V4.1 to participate. By the time the competition wrapped up on April 9th, over 150,000 users had signed up and taken part.
Previous Competitions and Huawei’s ADAS Ecosystem
Huawei has a history of engaging its user base through competitive events focused on its intelligent driving technology. Prior to the Qiankun Intelligent Driving Competition, the company also hosted the Huawei ADS Master Competition. This event focused on the safety aspects of intelligent driving, offering various challenge tracks such as ‘Safety Communicator,’ ‘Parking Expert,’ and ‘Urban NCA’ (Navigate on Autopilot). Participation in the ADS Master Competition was exclusive to owners of HarmonyOS-based vehicles from Huawei’s partnered brands that were equipped with either the high-end or basic versions of Huawei’s ADS system.
These competitions serve multiple purposes for Huawei. They act as a platform to gather valuable feedback from real-world users, helping the company refine its ADAS algorithms and software. Furthermore, these events foster a sense of community among users of Huawei’s intelligent vehicle technology and showcase the advancements in autonomous driving capabilities being developed by the tech giant. The success and continued organization of these competitions underscore Huawei’s commitment to advancing intelligent vehicle technology and engaging its customer base.
