On June 13, the 2026 Huawei Developer Conference (HDC 2026) kicked off grandly, alongside the highly anticipated HUAWEI HiCar Smart Mobility Ecosystem Summit. Zhongle Certification was invited to participate throughout the HiCar thematic discussion session and set up its brand exhibition at the venue, gathering with Huawei officials, major automakers, and ecosystem partners to gain early access to cutting-edge technologies in vehicle-internet integration and explore new directions for the smart mobility ecosystem.
As Huawei's annual premier technology event, this year's HDC focused on three core themes: the HarmonyOS ecosystem, edge AI, and smart mobility. The HiCar Smart Mobility Ecosystem Summit held on the same day brought together industry stakeholders across the entire value chain, including automakers, software and hardware developers, and solution providers. The summit was packed with substantial content, covering everything from ecosystem strategies and technological iterations to real-world implementations and scenario innovations. Notably, the official launch of the HiCar 7.0 solution became the highlight of the event, offering a groundbreaking solution for the intelligent upgrade of non-HarmonyOS-equipped vehicles and traditional gasoline-powered cars.
Unlike the HarmonyOS native cockpit, HiCar focuses on connecting mainstream smartphones with vehicle infotainment systems. Its exceptional compatibility enables cost-effective upgrades to smart features for a vast number of existing vehicles. The latest HiCar 7.0 version completely overcomes the limitations of traditional screen mirroring, delivering a comprehensive technological leap through deep computational synergy, full-scenario connectivity, and an open ecosystem—redefining the new standard for vehicle-infrastructure integration.
Technically, HiCar 7.0 enables bidirectional computing power sharing between smartphones and vehicle cockpits. When running high-demand applications such as HD navigation or immersive audiovisual content, it seamlessly utilizes the smartphone's spare computing resources, effectively addressing common issues like lag and latency in older infotainment systems. It also supports reverse control of the smartphone from the cockpit, ensuring seamless integration between both devices and more fluid, natural operation. In terms of user experience, the version enhances application switching capabilities, allowing navigation, music, and video apps to transition smoothly between the smartphone and vehicle system. Combined with an upgraded voice interaction system, continuous command recognition and wakeless dialogue functionality have been significantly improved, balancing driving convenience with safety.
Going beyond mere functional upgrades, HiCar 7.0 further expands the boundaries of its ecosystem. Leveraging Huawei's distributed technology, it continuously enhances the integrated system covering people, vehicles, and homes, enabling seamless connectivity between in-car systems and smart home devices for smooth transitions between mobility and residential scenarios. Additionally, the new version further lowers the barrier to ecosystem integration by opening up more capabilities to developers and hardware manufacturers, fostering collaborative development across the entire automotive connectivity industry. At the summit, leading partners such as BYD, Changan Automobile, and Niuniu Electric Vehicle shared their implementation experiences, demonstrating innovative applications of HiCar in various sectors including passenger vehicles and two-wheeled mobility solutions, providing valuable reference models for the industry.
This conference participation and on-site exhibition stand represent a pivotal opportunity for Zhongle Certification to stay aligned with industry advancements and connect with leading ecosystem partners. We had the privilege of listening closely to Huawei's technical experts explain the technical architecture and future strategy of HiCar 7.0, learn from leading companies' implementation experiences, and leverage the exhibition space to showcase our technological expertise and product solutions in the automotive connectivity sector—resulting in highly rewarding insights.
The wave of smart mobility is surging forward, and vehicle connectivity has become a crucial frontier in automotive intelligence. In the future, Zhongle Certification will closely follow the development pace of Huawei HiCar ecosystem, delve into the technical value and open capabilities of HiCar 7.0, continuously refine vehicle connectivity solutions tailored for diverse scenarios, and empower industry upgrades through technological innovation. We look forward to collaborating with more ecosystem partners to leverage HiCar's robust connectivity capabilities in jointly creating smarter, more convenient, and richer full-scenario mobility experiences, and together forging a new future for smart mobility!
