SoundOfMusic : Huawei is behind Xpeng in smartification, so they are asking for help from third parties. The smart thing to do is to license the smartification technologies from Xpeng, who owns the full stack. Make Xpeng the China champion in smart driving to compete with Tesla. Reinventing the smartification wheel for Huawei is super expensive and misallocation of capital.
Another point is open source smartification is dangerous. Have you seen the supply chain attack by Israel? How can people have confidence to drive a smart car, not exactly knowing where the software is from at 120km/hr? Xpeng owns the full stack to do L4+ in two years time.

bullrider_21 OP SoundOfMusic : Quite a few EV makers are using Huawei's smart driving system.

SoundOfMusic bullrider_21 OP : Could you please give me a list. I would like to learn. Thanks.

bullrider_21 OP SoundOfMusic : The Huawei brands, Aito, Avatr, Luxeed and Stelato,  use Huawei’s ADS. BYD Feng Cheng Bao's SUV is also using.

bullrider_21 OP : Lost only USD4,000. So breaking even won't be difficult.
