IT-NEWS, July 7 — The controversy started when sharp-eyed owners noticed that the “accumulated assisted driving mileage” displayed on Huawei’s Qiankun smart driving portal kept ticking upward even after they disconnected from the internet. Screenshots circulated. Accusations of inflated numbers followed.
