Since Huawei was sanctioned by the United States, everyone has been concerned about Huawei's developments and hope it can reshape its glory.
Recently, there has been heavy good news: The United States will approve the sale of auto parts chips to Huawei!

is also not very important for the follow-up research and development of Huawei's mobile phone chips. Come a powerful supplement.
According to reports, the U.S. has approved suppliers’ license applications, allowing them to sell to Huawei chips for video screens and sensors and other auto parts, and even other car chips with 5G capabilities are also licensed possible.
Although Huawei stated that it is verifying and confirming with the relevant business departments, it can be seen that the United States does intend to relax this blockade.
Why did the United States suddenly "unwind"?
Since the US announced sanctions on Huawei in 2019,The United States has a very firm attitude and has always spared no effort to curb the development of Huawei's core communications business. Not only the chips are not available, but 5G-related equipment is also strongly blocked. As a result, Huawei's latest P50 series flagship phones only support 4G networks and miss 5G.
But such a strong U.S. suddenly "unbounded" Huawei, and it is still the most rapidly developing automotive chip. If the capacity overflows, it will make sense, but now the world lacks cores. Your own car giant is about to cut production, and you have opened up the license to Huawei. What is Lao Mei thinking about in this wave?

Although I want to compare the old beauty to the old mobile phone, the craftsmanship is better than that of the car. The process requirements are not high. 28nm can fully meet the requirements. The country has the ability to achieve mass production of 28nm chips. By then, it will be able to get rid of dependence on US imports and greatly weaken the impact of the US blockade.
Moreover, with Huawei HiSilicon’s design capabilities, there is no doubt that it can achieve breakthroughs in the automotive field. With Huawei’s domestic influence, it is fully capable of capturing the largest market share.
As the world's largest auto market, once Chinese companies become self-sufficient, they will certainly not bring the United States to play, so the United States immediately changed its face, opened up trading permits, and prepared to make a lot of money.
So the smart place in America is here,I will completely block the technology you don't have. When you have it, I will engage in price wars with you, dumping in large quantities, and completely drag your business down, and you will never lose money after a meal.
To be honest, this tactic is really a panacea. From the previous computers to the current mobile phones and car chips, the United States has used this method to take a lot of us from our hands. Banknotes.
Even this time, it is a repeat of the old tricks, but now China is no longer what it used to be. Fed up with the "provocations" of the United States in recent years, domestic companies have determined to take their core technologies in their own hands!
Huawei's chip breakthrough road
Although the United States has loosened the control of automobile chips this time, the equipment that will be firmly blocked will still need advanced manufacturing equipment. Therefore, it is a better choice to devote energy to areas where the demand for manufacturing processes is not so high. At present, there is no greater potential than the field of smart cars.
Huawei has set its own direction from the beginning: Huawei does not build complete vehicles, but focuses on the supply of auto parts _span15strong span1 _strong. At present, it has launched a car-level chip- Kirin 990A,It has 3.5TOPs computing power and even supports 5G network connection.
3.5TOPs computing power and Qualcomm mainstream 7nm Snapdragon SA8155P chip has been used in the automotive field for at least a few years. When the domestic 14nm chip will go off the assembly line, there will definitely be more room for development.
not only independent research and development, from the entire chip industry chain, Huawei also has a lot of layout, Huawei's " Hubble Technology" partnership company invested in just three years 34 semiconductor-related companies are involved in all aspects from chip design, EDA, testing, packaging, materials to equipment, and accelerate the construction of an independent and controllable semiconductor industry chain.
* Picture from the financial network
Huawei is determined to enter the automotive semiconductor industry chain while mastering the core technology of the automotive semiconductor industry. Construction, and finally achieve complete autonomy and controllability.
not only Huawei, but domestic semiconductor companies such as SMIC , Wingtech , etc.Efforts are also being made in the direction of chip autonomy and controllability. With the offline of the domestic 28nm and 14nm chips in the future, the U.S. blockade will only become paler and weaker. Although it can still be awkward, the United States must be psychologically prepared. From now on, China’s money will only increase. Hard to earn!
