On January 26, Heduo Technology and Horizon, the leader of automotive intelligent chips, officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two sides will carry out in-depth cooperation in the field of autonomous driving, jointly explore and exchange cutting-edge core technologies and advanced system integration solutions for intelligent vehicles, and work together to promote the commercialization of all-scenario autonomous driving. It is worth mentioning that gac group has also cooperated with Heduo Technology to comprehensively and deeply develop automatic driving technology of L3 and above, and it is expected that a variety of Guangzhou vehicle models equipped with Heduo system will be listed one after another in 2022.
According to the cooperation agreement, Horizon will help Heduo Technology develop a software and hardware solution for autonomous driving that integrates industry and po, build a service-oriented software architecture (SOA), and work together to build a full-stack autonomous driving solution driven by data-driven continuous iteration based on the Journey 3 and Journey 5 chips, visual perception algorithms and toolchains.
Ni Kai, founder and CEO of Heduo Technology, said that under the wave of "new four modernizations" characterized by electrification, intelligence, networking and sharing, automobiles are changing from simple mechanical transportation tools in the past to a new generation of mobile intelligent terminals. Heduo Technology is committed to the large-scale mass production of all-scenario automatic driving solutions, and has joined hands with important industrial ecological partners to accelerate the development of the field of intelligent driving. Heduo Technology looks forward to working with industry partners to achieve better software and hardware access, so that the driving experience can be steadily improved under the blessing of science and technology, so that consumers can truly enjoy the beautiful life brought by science and technology, so that China's automotive industry can become a global intelligent benchmark, and contribute to the construction of an intelligent automobile power.
Yu Kai, founder and CEO of Horizon, said that intelligent driving has entered the "era of mass production", and the combination between technology companies has become closer and closer. The mass production strength of Heduo Technology's autonomous driving solutions is obvious to all, and on the basis of deep mutual trust and open collaboration, Horizon and Heduo Technology will continue to combine in many aspects such as intelligent driving software and hardware development and industrial resource integration, and use technological innovation to bring people a safer and better travel experience.
As a well-known and technologically leading provider of autonomous driving mass production solutions in China, Heduo Technology is one of the very few companies with full-stack autonomous driving research and development capabilities, with a complete layout from artificial intelligence algorithms to embedded systems, from big data closed-loop to system iterative evolution, with the two major scenarios of driving and parking as the entry point for mass production, and finally realizing the deployment of unmanned driving solutions for all scenarios of berthing.
In the field of automotive intelligent networking, GAC Group and Heduo Technology have carried out in-depth cooperation in the development of driving L2++ functions, independent parking and memory parking functions, relying on XJ3 and X3V two innovative projects, and have achieved phased results, and have fully carried out in-depth research and development of L3 and above autonomous driving technology, and it is expected that a variety of Guangzhou automobile models equipped with Heduo system will be listed in 2022, which means that Heduo Technology has been at the forefront of the industry in the mass production delivery schedule.
As a global leader in artificial intelligence computing platforms, Horizon provides comprehensive technical services including high-performance automotive smart chips, software algorithms, tool chains, etc. for the field of intelligent driving with a forward-looking concept of combining soft and hard.
Horizon firmly embraces the ecology, takes AI chips as the cornerstone, adheres to the soft-hard collaboration, flexible and open business cooperation model, cooperates deeply with a wide range of industry partners, collaborative innovation, and is committed to creating a beautiful driving experience for consumers.
Horizon is currently the only enterprise in China that has realized the mass production of automotive intelligent chips, and the shipment volume of Zhengcheng series chips has exceeded 1 million pieces.
Heduo Technology and Horizon have reached a strategic cooperation, which will fully complement each other's advantages in the future, accelerate the mass production progress of intelligent driving solutions, and work with a wide range of industry partners to create an open and win-win intelligent vehicle ecology.
