It looks like the air vents have been hidden as well.
The Neta S also features technology developed from Huawei. The luxury sedan is equipped with 2 Lidars, 5 millimetre-wave radars, 12 ultrasonic sensors, 13 cameras, and a wide range of positioning tech. Its possible that the Neta S will feature L4 autonomous driving as well.
