Volkswagen is now reportedly in talks with Huawei, to use Huawei software to power their electric vehicles. Volkswagen is expected to do this in the Chinese market, thereby expanding its market share in the country.
With this move, Huawei software is expected to replace VW technology on their vehicles. The VW Group, which also includes brands such as Audi and Porsche, is said to lead the car market in China, but lags behind in the electric vehicle arena, ranking 9th in China.
The use of Huawei software will give the advantage of locally developed software on the car, and may lead to higher car sales. Use is also expected to be limited to the Chinese market only, given that there is a trade war between the United States and China - including barriers to the use of semiconductor technology produced in the United States by Huawei and other Chinese companies.
