In the future, Toyota intends to use the Huawei driver assistance system in its cars in order to increase driver safety and the level of autonomy. This information came from unverified sources, and Toyota did not make a statement.

As a reminder, Huawei provides smart components and systems for autonomous vehicles, and this is not the first time that these two companies have collaborated together, as they previously worked on smart cockpits and connected systems for vehicles. In this case, Momenta would provide the software while Huawei would be responsible for the hardware.

China is one of the largest markets in the world and it is especially interesting for manufacturers of electric vehicles to keep up with Chinese manufacturers. In this market, the Japanese manufacturer currently offers electric vehicles bZ3 and bZ4X, but the sales results are not so good. Cooperation with the Chinese company could be a turning point, because Toyota is currently lagging behind other major manufacturers when it comes to car autonomy systems.

Whether this cooperation will happen, we will know after the 2024 Beijing Auto Show, which will be held from April 25 to May 4, 2024.
