Audi, in collaboration with FAW, introduces electric Q6L vehicle models, now featuring Huawei's driver assistance technology.
The FAW Audi Q6L e-tron family has recently integrated Huawei's Qiankun Intelligent Driving system, offering a range of advanced driver-assistance features. This integration aims to elevate the driving experience and set new standards in the premium new energy vehicle market.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Features
The system equips the Q6L e-tron family with highway and urban navigation assistance, smart parking capabilities, and mapless Level 2 assisted driving for both city and highway scenarios.
Highway and Urban Navigation Assistance
The system supports autonomous driving features on highways and in urban environments, allowing smoother and safer navigation without relying strictly on detailed maps.
Smart Parking Assistance
Enhanced parking functionalities help automate parking maneuvers, reducing driver effort and improving safety in parking lots.
Dual Laser Radars and Multi-sensor Fusion
The use of dual-laser radars combined with cameras and ultrasonic sensors improves environmental perception accuracy and responsiveness.
Advanced Perception and Path Planning
Sophisticated algorithms allow the system to perceive the environment effectively and plan safe driving paths dynamically.
Augmented Reality HUD
An 88-inch AR head-up display projects navigation, speed, traffic signs, and augmented reality visuals visible up to 200 meters ahead, minimizing driver distraction by integrating information directly into the line of sight.
Tailored for Chinese Roads
The intelligent driving system is deeply tailored for China's complex and diverse road conditions, supporting local driving preferences and legal requirements.
A Strategic Push in Intelligent Driving
This integration represents a strategic push by Audi and FAW to leap into the forefront of intelligent driving by fully adopting Huawei's intelligent-driving stack for both electric and gasoline models. The Q6L e-tron family also supports a global 800V architecture, allowing battery fast-charging and long-range electric driving.
