On April 24, 2024, Horizon Robotics, a market-leading provider of advanced driver assistance (ADAS) and advanced autonomous driving (AD) solutions for passenger cars, held a product launch event with the theme of "Journey Forward, Towards Height". With the forward-looking prediction and accumulation of the concept of combining software and hardware with full-stack technology, Horizon Robotics has launched a new generation of Journey ®6 series in-vehicle intelligent computing solutions and Horizon SuperDrive™ all-scenario intelligent driving solutions, accelerating the arrival of the era of intelligent driving equality with paradigm-level innovation in the field of intelligent driving.
At the press conference, Horizon Robotics officially announced the first 10 mass-produced cooperative car companies and brands equipped with the Journey ®6 in-vehicle intelligent computing solution, including: SAIC, Volkswagen Group, BYD, Li Auto, GAC Group, Deep Blue Automobile, BAIC Group, Chery Automobile, Xingtu Automobile, VOYAH Automobile, etc., as well as a number of Tier1, software and hardware partners. Horizon Robotics said that the Journey ®6 series of in-vehicle intelligent computing solutions will start the delivery of the first pre-installed production model within this year, and is expected to complete the mass production delivery of more than 10 models in 2025. At the same time, SuperDrive™ will also cooperate with a number of top Tier1 and car brands in the second quarter of this year, and launch the standard version of the mass production plan in the fourth quarter of this year, and achieve the delivery of the first mass production cooperation model in the third quarter of 2025.
Why do so many well-known car companies choose to cooperate with Horizon Robotics? Next, let's learn more about Horizon Robotics' next-generation Journey ®6 series in-vehicle intelligent computing solution and Horizon SuperDrive™ full-scene intelligent driving solution.
Combining the accumulation of three generations of Journey products and 5 million sets of shipment experience, Horizon Robotics has created the Journey ®6 series of in-vehicle intelligent computing solutions. It is understood that the Horizon Journey ®6 series of on-board intelligent computing solutions have a unified tool chain, software stack, and hardware architecture, and have a complete and mature mass production development platform for intelligent driving of the same generation, which can realize all-round coverage of intelligent driving applications from all-in-one machine to domain control, from active safety to full-scene intelligent driving, and help car companies achieve "one step faster" mass production efficiency.
This time, the Journey ®6 series of on-board intelligent computing solutions has launched six versions, which are flexibly configured for different intelligent driving scenarios, providing the optimal solution that takes into account both performance and cost. Including: Journey ®6B, Journey ®6L, Journey ®6E, Journey ®6M, Journey ®6H, Journey ®6P. Among them, Journey ®6B is mainly for the low-end intelligent driving market, reshaping the new active safety experience with the ultimate cost performance, and is committed to creating the industry's most cost-effective active safety all-in-one solution; Journey ®6M is mainly for the mid-level intelligent driving market, and is the optimal solution for the cost-effective solution of inclusive urban areas; ®Journey 6E provides an AEC-Q104 automotive-qualified SiP module and a Matrix 6 domain control reference design to achieve lower power consumption and better system cost with ultra-high integration. ®Journey 6P is mainly for the high-end intelligent driving market, with high integration, high computing power, high efficiency, high processing capacity, high access capacity and high safety and other six product commanding heights, is the culmination of advanced processor technology, born for a new generation of full-scene intelligent driving. It can be said that the Journey ®6 series is the only in-vehicle intelligent computing solution in the industry that meets the mass production of full-level intelligent driving, which also means that Horizon Robotics' product research and development has achieved a key leap from single-point to serialization, and the Journey family has opened a new chapter in generational upgrading.
The all-scenario intelligent driving solution Horizon SuperDrive™ focuses on the breakthrough of anthropomorphic experience and creates an easy-to-use intelligent driving system version 2.0. With a dynamic, static, and OCC (occupancy) three-in-one end-to-end perception architecture, as well as a data-driven interactive game algorithm, Horizon SuperDrive™ can take into account the scene pass rate, traffic efficiency, and behavioral anthropomorphism in any road environment. Even in complex urban scenarios such as congestion confluence, intersection interaction-dynamic Driveline, courtesy to cyclists, congested lane changes, and urban roundabouts, Horizon SuperDrive™ can bring users an elegant and calm intelligent driving experience.
It is reported that the end-to-end architecture of dynamic, static, and OCC triple play is an effective means to accurately restore the objective physical world. Under this architecture, the occlusion call rate can be increased by 70%, the number of dynamic code lines can be reduced by 90%, and the network load can be reduced by 50%, effectively solving the pain points of high latency, multiple rules, and heavy load in the industry.
It can be said that relying on the top software and hardware algorithm technology, Horizon SuperDrive™ and the Journey ®6 flagship in-vehicle intelligent computing solution have created the best high-end intelligent driving system combining software and hardware, so that the easy-to-use urban NOA solution can accelerate the large-scale mass production and realize that everyone can reach it.
From PC to mobile Internet, the combination of software and hardware plays a key role in every industrial transformation. Especially in the era of intelligent driving, the combination of software and hardware is also a necessary path to the endgame and the realization of value inclusiveness. Since its establishment, Horizon Robotics has not only provided efficient ® on-board intelligent computing solutions for the low, medium and high-end intelligent driving markets, but also created a full-scene intelligent driving solution matrix. The two intelligent driving technology products released this time are a demonstration of the strength of Horizon Robotics' top software and hardware combination of full-stack technical capabilities and the largest mass production experience, and consolidate the industry position of Horizon Robotics as the first camp of intelligent driving technology companies.
With the help of heaven and earth, I believe that the horizon will be in the vast trend of the era of smart cars, and the journey will be shared and move towards a higher place.
