Intelligence has been a huge trend at Auto China 2024. Read ahead to discover how Japanese car brands are joining hands with China technology companies, and catch up on Tesla‘s progress as it gets ready to form China’s “Intelligence Trio”.
Japanese Car Brands Cooperate with China to Further Auto Intelligence
- Japanese car brands join hands with Chinese tech companies
- Keeping up with electrification to be the key for Japanese manufacturers to survive in China
The wave of intelligence that dominated this year’s Auto China 2024 is re-refreshing consumer perception, and the traditionally conservative Japanese car brands have finally begun to cooperate with Chinese technology companies in the field of intelligence.
At the show, Nissan Motor and Baidu signed an MoU to carry out a feasibility study on strategic cooperation in the field of AI and intelligent vehicles, following Honda’s earlier disclosure of its cooperation with Chinese suppliers such as Huawei and CATL before the show. Further, Toyota officially announced its cooperation with Tencent, combining Tencent’s AI model, cloud, digital ecology.
Japanese automakers’ market share in China has fallen from 23% in 2019 to 17% last year, and this decline is expected to continue this year. Keeping up with the trend of electrification and intelligence in the Chinese market has become the key for Japanese manufacturers to survive in China in the future.

Tesla getting ready to disrupt China’s major intelligence duo once local restrictions removed
- Tesla passes China’s security requirements
- Musk meets senior officials to promote FSD in China as Tesla gears up to compete
Given 2023’s penetration rate of L2+ ADS in China exceeded 35%, it’s no surprise that intelligent driving is an important theme at Auto China 2024.
Key movements include Huawei unveiling the Qiankun 3.0 intelligent driving system; Xiaomi founder, Lei Jun, calling on BYD to build a unified new energy vehicle ecosystem, which will involve industry standards and promote the coordinated development of the industrial chain; and Elon Musk visiting China on the sidelines of the auto show and meeting with senior officials to promote the implementation of FSD in China.
At present, Tesla has passed China’s data security requirements, and local restrictions will be lifted soon. As a result, the intelligent driving system led by Huawei, Xiaomi Ecology, and Tesla FSD has formed a tripartite balance in the intelligent driving stage.
The implementation of Tesla’s FSD will once again exert a catfish effect in China’s autonomous driving market, and will further accelerate the process of China’s new energy vehicles to intelligent competition.
