Huawei, GAC Aion Lead China’s Smart EV Shift

China’s latest EV headlines show a decisive shift toward software-defined competition: GAC Aion’s low-cost N60 stunned D1EV’s smart-driving contest with a 91.96-point final win after a WeRide WRD 3.0 OTA, while Huawei-backed Shangjie Z7/Z7T passed extreme wet-road safety tests at up to 121 km/h. Together with fresh funding for embodied robotics startup Xuanchuang, the news highlights how Chinese EVs are increasingly competing on algorithm efficiency, integrated safety, and autonomy beyond passenger cars.
