The interconnection between 5G, the cloud and the Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing the automotive industry. The adoption of these technologies will allow vehicle manufacturers to develop smarter and safer electric models. Thanks to 5G, vehicles will be able to connect to the cloud quickly and stably, allowing the transmission of large amounts of data in real time. In addition, the IoT will allow the interconnection of devices inside and outside the vehicle, which will facilitate decision making and problem solving.
Cloud services will make it possible to store and process large amounts of data generated by sensors in connected cars, such as information on location, speed and traffic conditions. In addition, the cloud enables remote access to the data and applications necessary for the operation of smart electric cars, allowing manufacturers to update the system and solve problems efficiently and quickly.
“Of course, the automotive industry can boost (Huawei’s) cloud business,” says the manager.
Tesla, the leading electric vehicle company, has in the past recognized the importance of the cloud in the development of its technology. In 2019, the Elon Musk-led company acquired cloud computing company DeepScale to improve the capabilities of its self-driving software. In addition, Tesla also uses the cloud to update its vehicle software remotely and in real time, allowing the company to improve the safety and efficiency of its cars without the need for users to visit a dealer for an update. physical upgrade. Cloud technology also allows Tesla to collect data from its vehicles in real time and use it to improve its software and develop new functionality.
Huawei is focusing on consolidating itself as the main provider of Cloud solutions in Latin America, since the demand for this service is increasing rapidly in sectors such as the automotive industry. To achieve this, the company plans to launch four new availability zones in Latin America this year, two of them in Mexico, one in Brazil and one in Chile. In addition, in October they will open their third Data Center in the country, although its exact location has not been specified. All this was announced during the Huawei Cloud Latam Partner Summit 2023.
The daughter of Huawei’s founder and newly appointed chief financial officer of the company, Sabrina Meng, commented that although the company is under pressure – due to trade barriers imposed by the United States – it will survive thanks to the development of innovative solutions such as the cloud.
“2023 will be a crucial year for survival. Currently, Huawei is like a plum blossom that becomes sweeter after a severe winter frost,” Meng said.
