To show off the power of the Kirin 970’s AI chip, Huawei has uploaded a YouTube video where the Mate 10 Pro — and the Kirin 970 processor inside — are able to control a vehicle, leveraging the power of their AI chip to recognize and avoid obstacles. Obstacles like cute, fluffy little animal friends you’d never want to put in harms way by testing your new smartphone. That kind.
Make no mistake — this is a commercial. There’s no possible way they’d put a dog’s life in danger while they tested their phone’s ability to recognize objects in the real world. With that being said, you can check out the video below and who knows, maybe in their next video we can see if the Mate 10 Pro can avoid hitting a real life baby in the road.
