Honda is intending to partner with Huawei for its advanced smart car solutions. The Japanese automobile company may use HarmonyOS-powered and ADS-driving solutions for one of its new brands – Ye in the upcoming months.

According to some Chinese media groups, Honda may adopt Huawei smart car driving solutions in the time ahead. It began exploring ways to join hands with Huawei and use its tech in its Chinese automobile models.

The first Honda car to install the Huawei smart driving solution is expected to be the Ye brand. The Japanese firm displayed its Ye-branded GT smart car at the Beijing Auto Show 2024 as its third most powerful brand in the Chinese automobile market.

The company aims to bring the third brand Ye into the country. Ye brand has three EVs so far: Ye S7, Ye P7, and Ye GT. All three are expected to go official in the first quarter of this year.

Ye S7 and Ye P7 were expected to launch in 2024. However, the company felt that the cars didn’t meet market requirements and smart technologies.

According to a report: “Due to regulations, autonomous driving is difficult to commercialise quickly. This is also one of the original intentions of the Ye brand to carry Huawei smart driving.”

Ye brand cars are claimed to adopt two solutions in the future. The first one is the Honda SENSING 360+ and the second is Huawei smart driving solutions.

Regarding Huawei solutions, the Ye-brand cars may use a light field screen jointly built by Honda and Huawei. The display tech is similar to the AR-HUD and may help in enhancing depth-field and long-distance experience in the vehicle.
