BEIJING (Reuters) – Chinese electric vehicle giant BYD has signed an agreement with Huawei to use the Chinese tech conglomerate’s advanced autonomous driving system in its off-road Fangchengbao electric vehicles (EV), Huawei said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Bao 8 SUV under the Fangchengbao lineup will be the first BYD model to sport Huawei’s Qiankun intelligent driving system and go on sale later this year.
