Newshot Over 190,000 owners signed up, the second Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving Open Challenge wraps up today
IT Home, November 13 — the second Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving Open Challenge, which ran for 14 days, officially concluded today. Since it kicked off on October 31, this edition has drawn more than 190,000 owners to sign up, with eight major tracks built around real-world travel scenarios, covering urban commuting, countryside roaming, highway navigation, parking and more.
Unlike traditional competitive events, this Open Challenge folds the idea that "the track is everyday life" into the competition, letting owners experience assisted driving on real roads — from complex business parks and winding mountain roads to extremely narrow stretches, from urban commuting to suburban trips. The diverse road environments also gave the capabilities of Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5 a fuller showcase.
For everyday driving, main urban arteries are only part of the journey; complex roundabouts, country lanes without clear lane markings, and narrow roads in old downtown areas are situations owners also encounter regularly. This edition brought these non-standard road conditions into the scope of the experience.
In addition, Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5 adds urban roaming cruise assist, RCA. Unlike traditional navigation assist, which requires a pre-planned route, this feature needs no destination set and no navigation turned on — roaming cruise can be activated on urban roads, supporting traffic light recognition, continuous passage through intersections, and autonomous lane changes and overtaking. After entering a business park, users can likewise turn on roaming cruise assist and, as needed, pick a nearby free parking space to park.
Parking was also a focus of this edition. Addressing everyday parking headaches such as occupied spaces and narrow aisles, Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5 Parking-to-Parking 3.0 supports free switching between parking spaces and curbside. If, upon arriving at the parking lot, the originally designated space turns out to be occupied, the system can keep roaming to look for another free space.
Meanwhile, features such as space-holding parking, gesture parking and plug-and-charge were also brought into the scope of the experience. Among them, plug-and-charge lets the vehicle start charging directly once the charging gun is plugged in after parking in a charging space, with no need for scanning a code.
On safety, this edition set up a safety challenge track focused on experiencing the defensive safety capabilities of Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5. Its newly added rear active collision avoidance assist: when driving on urban expressways or highways, if a vehicle behind closes in at close range and there is a risk of a rear-end collision, the system will, after judging the environment ahead to be safe, actively accelerate to reduce the risk of being rear-ended.
From urban areas to the countryside, from road navigation to Parking-to-Parking 3.0, this Open Challenge wove the assisted driving experience into many parts of owners' daily travel. The participation of 190,000 owners also gave the capabilities of Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving ADS 5 on real roads a concentrated showcase.
For assisted driving, technical strength is shown not only in features and parameters, but even more in whether it can bring users a stable, reliable travel experience when facing complex and ever-changing road environments. That is also the significance of this edition of the Huawei Qiankun Smart Driving Open Challenge moving the arena onto real roads.
