Huawei’s automotive executive, Richard Yu, didn’t mince words in a recent public address, calling out what he perceives as a drag on industry progress. His comments, steeped in strong analogies, provide a glimpse into the internal pressures facing China’s burgeoning electric vehicle (EV) sector.
Yu, known for his candid pronouncements, criticized what he views as an environment where underperformance sets the standard. He likened this to a school system where the weakest student dictates the pace of learning, hindering the advancement of the entire class. “We must encourage true excellence, not empty boasts,” Yu stated. “We need to avoid the situation where the lowest common denominator dictates the industry standard.” He warned against complacency and the dangers of prioritizing marketing hype over tangible progress, particularly where safety is concerned.
The core of Yu’s message centered on fostering an environment that rewards innovation and achievement. He emphasized the importance of embracing the best in the industry.
While acknowledging potential shortcomings in his own phrasing, Yu’s core message resonated with a clear call to action. He reiterated the critical need to empower top performers, because letting underperformance hold the industry back, risks the user experience and overall industry advancement.
