然而，华为常务董事、终端 BG 董事长余承东并没有出席问界的 "成人礼"，用 "遥遥领先" 占据科技媒体的头条。取而代之的，是一段礼貌、分寸感十足 的祝贺视频。 第 100 万辆问界汽车下线了。 5 年前，与华为的合作为赛力斯带来了命运的转折。这家曾挣扎在生存线上的重庆车企，摇身一变成为新能源领域的资本明星。问界 M9 等车型的热销， 更使其实现扭亏为盈，市值突破 2000 亿。 下线仪式上，赛力斯董事长张兴海将这一成就归功于 "跨界融合" 模式，并特别感谢了合作伙伴华为。 但随着华为的朋友圈从 "一界" 扩至 "五界"，赛力斯的资本故事被稀释，不得不从 "躺平" 走向独立自主。 自研和出海是赛力斯淡化华为影响的两大战略，也是去年 11 月港股 IPO 的主要资金用途，但股价的阴跌是一场无声的公投。 华为的汽车业务同样不顺。轮值董事长徐直军牵头与北汽、长安达成 HI（Huawei Insight）模式的合作——即华为以供应商的身份，为车企提供全栈的智 能汽车解决方案。但项目阻力重重，车型上市后的销量也不及预期。业务推进乏力，这条路线逐渐在华为内部面临压力。 2020 年年末，华为将车 BU 其从徐直军带领的 ...

"汽车第一城"之争愈显焦灼。 1月13日，来自重庆市经济信息委的消息称，2025年重庆汽车产业再攀新高，全年汽车产量达到278.8万辆，增长9.7%，稳居城市第一位、省市第三位。其 中，新能源汽车产量达到129.6万辆，增长36%，产业集群规模突破8000亿元。 这意味着，在深圳反超广州、短暂拿下汽车产量头名桂冠之后，又再次交出"接力棒"；而对于重庆来说，则是经过10年蛰伏后，再次回归冠军宝座。 产量之争并不是重庆此次"晋位"的全部。就在不久前，全国首块L3级自动驾驶专用正式号牌"渝AD0001Z"颁发给长安汽车。在外界看来，这意味着中国智能 驾驶迈入规模化应用的历史性阶段，而重庆则正在成为"领跑者"。 回顾近年来汽车城的你追我赶，作为新物种的新能源汽车无疑充当了"游戏改写者"的角色。如果将重庆在汽车产量与智能驾驶领域的双重突破联系起来观 察，或许能捕捉到下一轮竞逐的蛛丝马迹。 王者归来 谁抓住了新能源汽车，谁就有望夺得汽车产业的头筹。这一近年来因"汽车第一城"换位而被反复验证的"定律"，在经历"大落"后又实现"大起"的重庆身上尤 显突出。 时间倒退回2013年，重庆提出打造"中国底特律"的目标。第二年，重庆 ...
