Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the competitive landscape of the intelligent driving sector, highlighting the market share rankings of various companies and the emergence of QCraft as a significant player in the NOA (Navigation on Autopilot) market, while questioning the validity of these rankings due to differing methodologies and market segments [3][4][7]. Market Share Rankings - According to a report by Gaogong Intelligent Automotive Research Institute, Huawei leads the market with over 41% share, followed by QCraft with over 21%, Momenta with over 16%, and Zhuoyue Technology with over 5% [5]. - The rankings reveal a disparity in market positioning, as QCraft is not listed among the top players in the high-end market segment (vehicles priced above 300,000 yuan), where Huawei dominates with nearly 70% market share [6][7]. QCraft's Rise and Challenges - QCraft, founded in 2019 by former Waymo employees, has gained prominence by becoming the core supplier for Li Auto's AD Pro version, significantly boosting its system deployment to over 1 million units [9]. - However, reliance on a single major client, Li Auto, poses risks, as many automakers are increasingly developing their own autonomous driving solutions, with 14 out of the top 20 brands in NOA deliveries having self-developed systems [9][10]. Market Dynamics and Competition - QCraft is actively seeking to diversify its client base by partnering with other automakers like Chery and Geely, but these companies are also building their own autonomous driving systems, which could limit QCraft's market opportunities [10][11]. - The intelligent driving market is becoming increasingly competitive, with major players like Huawei and Horizon aiming to make advanced driving features available in lower-priced vehicles, creating a "red ocean" of competition [12][14]. Future Outlook - QCraft aims to promote high-level autonomous driving in vehicles priced around 100,000 yuan, with the belief that "driving equality" will be achieved as urban NOA becomes a standard feature [13]. - The competition is not just about market share but also about cost control, iteration efficiency, and deployment speed, which are essential for survival in a market where automakers are developing their own technologies [14].
