China EVs & More Episode #167 - Huawei will SMASH FSD, Hyrbid Highlights, Detroit Is Open for Innovation
Tu and Lei start out by discussing a provocative statement from Richard Yu, the Huawei executive in charge of their intelligent driving, who said in a much less kind way that Huawei's system would beat Tesla's FSD.
They then talk more broadly about the current systems out there from other Chinese EV makers and agree that FSD will have it's hands full in the China market and is NOT the clear leader once it finally launches.
The topic moves over to all the recent news from automakers about their latest generation small displacement high efficiency enginers, specifically hybrid engines. With announcements from BYD, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru and others.
Tu then shifts over to his guest appearance on John McElroy's Autoline live show and the question that john posed to him.
Tu and Lei move on and take a deeper dive into Porsche, it's recent hybrid 911 unveil and it's sales in China.
Tu closes the podcast out with a few updates on Detroit and the unveiling and rebranding of the old train station into the new Michigan Central that is supposed to concentrate and put a focus on all the innovation that's happening in the city / state.
