Toyota may collaborate with Huawei to jointly develop intelligent driving solutions.

Recently, there have been media reports stating that Toyota's global intelligent driving solution will adopt a three-party collaboration model involving "Toyota + Huawei + Momenta". This solution differs from Huawei's existing ADS advanced driver-assistance system, as automatic driving company Momenta and Huawei respectively provide software and hardware solutions, with the three parties collaborating deeply and integrating their efforts. Informed sources revealed that Toyota is expected to officially announce the specific plans during the Beijing Auto Show.

It is understood that Huawei's cooperation with car manufacturers currently involves three models: component supply model, HI model (Huawei Inside), and Smart Select Car model (Hongmeng Intelligent Driving). From the above reports, if the cooperation is true, their collaboration is more inclined towards the supplier model

It is worth noting that Toyota and Huawei have previously cooperated, mainly focusing on the intelligent cockpit field. In March of this year, the new 9th generation Camry from GAC Toyota was launched. The car's infotainment system was jointly developed by GAC Toyota and Huawei, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8155 chip, providing 12GB+128GB of memory, significantly improving operational fluency

In addition, it has been reported that the debut of the domestically produced new Prado from FAW Toyota, which will be launched at the Beijing Auto Show, will also introduce Huawei's HiCar

The cooperation between Toyota and the rumored counterpart Momenta has a long history. In March 2020, the two parties reached a strategic cooperation agreement to provide Toyota with high-precision maps and updating services based on camera visual technology, jointly promoting the commercialization of Toyota's Automated Mapping Platform (AMP) in China. In March 2021, Momenta announced the completion of a Series C financing totaling $500 million, with Toyota being one of the strategic investors, further deepening their cooperation. Analysts in the industry believe that the cooperation between Toyota and Huawei is worth looking forward to. On the one hand, the two parties have a cooperation foundation, which to some extent reduces the cost of initial contact; on the other hand, Huawei has a high awareness in the domestic smart driving market
