According to South Korea's central daily, Samsung Electronics released a message to employees through its intranet last week, mainly related to car making. Samsung said it has no plans to conduct business or mergers and acquisitions with companies related to automobile manufacturing, whether they are electric vehicle companies or automatic driving companies. Samsung also stressed that it will continue to plough deeply in the field of parts and focus on semiconductors.
In addition to internal information, the remarks of Samsung executives also confirmed this. Two Samsung executives made it clear that Samsung would not produce its own electric vehicles, the Korean Times reported.
There are two reasons: first, Samsung believes that there are still many design and technical problems unsolved in the field of electric vehicles, and the investment in vehicle construction is very huge; Second, at present, Samsung provides chips, batteries, display screens, cameras and other parts for many car enterprises. If it makes cars directly, it is likely to affect its main business. This is somewhat similar to Huawei's idea of not building cars.
