The brain will be the most important part of future self-driving vehicles and Huawei is not short of patents and people in this field.
And I believe chip design for mobile phones will soon hit a mature state (eg need for future 6G won't be as great as that for 5G), so reassigning the existing scientists and engineers to design the future L4-5 chips n algorithims will therefore be a very logical step.

Huawei latest video on its self-driving car prototype. This vehicle has the most number of sensor types that I have seen - Lidar (3), RF radar (6), Ultrasonic radar (12) and cameras (13)!

Indeed - The key isn't about making NEV...but the system behind that makes autonomous vehicle safe and reliable. ...That's where Huawei is able to enter the sector very quickly using their existing lead in communication like 5G etc.

In fact, they are very explicit is stating that they are not into making cars, but the infrastructure for future vehicles.
