Huawei-backed HarmonyOS Auto unveiled an advanced active chassis for the next-generation AITO/Wenjie M9 that can raise a single wheel and continue driving stably on three wheels. Demonstration clips show the SUV maintaining control and minimal tilt while one front wheel is lifted, enabled by a fully active intelligent suspension that adapts to road conditions and switches to a three-wheel mode. Huawei says the M9 packs over 140 innovations, including six LiDARs, ADS Level 5 aspirations, an 800V platform and a price starting near ¥499,800. The tech highlights growing integration of vehicle dynamics, sensor suites and software for safer, more resilient autonomous-capable cars.
Huawei's active chassis demonstrates tighter integration of vehicle dynamics, sensors and software, signaling new resilience and safety approaches for autonomy. Tech professionals should note implications for sensor fusion, control software and automotive-grade actuators.
