PHYSIX OBSERVATION

This OTA does not touch the core autonomous driving capabilities; it is entirely about filling in experience gaps in travel scenarios. Group intercom and AR car finding 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.
