Huawei is one of the largest producers of electronic devices in the whole world, as you probably already knew for some time, and today we are talking about a situation that few thought possible. More precisely, those from Huawei have entered into a completely unexpected partnership with those from Mercedes Benz, and will have the Huawei for Car system integrated into the 2021 generation of S Class models, the top of the range that the German manufacturer sells at prices that they start from 100.000 euros.
Huawei managed to conclude a completely unexpected partnership with those from Mercedes for the implementation of Huawei for Car in the cars of the German manufacturer, but it seems that everything is only aimed at China. Mercedes has its own operating system that it integrates into its cars, and what Huawei offers is an alternative for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, but only in China would the world have felt safe with such software integrated in the car .
Huawei: The INCREDIBLE announcement that the world thought was IMPOSSIBLE
Huawei looked for alternatives after the USA decided to impose sanctions that effectively blocked its ability to manufacture the latest generation mobile phones, and Huawei for Car is one of them. The partnership with Mercedes represents a huge first step taken by Huawei in the car market, especially since its software will be integrated in the manufacturer's luxury cars, so we are talking about an achievement that did not seem possible in the current context.
Huawei would have discussed with several car manufacturers before making the decision to collaborate with those from Mercedes for the implementation of this software in its cars, so others probably refused the partnership. However, the collaboration between Huawei and any manufacturer can only target China because, following the scandals regarding the security of data from phones, it is difficult to say who would feel safe with Huawei for Car controlling the functions of their car.
Huawei will most certainly try to use this partnership to expand its collaborations with other car manufacturers, but it remains to be seen what kind of success it could register.
