PHYSIX OBSERVATION

This OTA did not touch the core autonomous driving capabilities; it is entirely about shoring up experience gaps in travel scenarios. Convoy intercom and AR car finder show that Huawei is chasing daily usage frequency, turning the car system into a social and car-finding tool. For users it is a practical upgrade, but for the industry it means autonomous driving competition is shifting from the number of cities covered to detail experience.
