**Changan launches Qiyuan Q06 with self-developed ADAS, rejecting third-party supplier solutions**
On September 23, Changan Automobile launched the Qiyuan Q06 in Hangzhou, featuring its self-developed Tianshu Linghang high-level intelligent driving assistance system, rejecting full-stack third-party supplier solutions. The vehicle uses Horizon's Journey 6P chip for computing, while Changan handles algorithm development and integration. Changan has invested over 60 billion yuan over a decade, including 22.5 billion in intelligent products, and built a 7,500-person R&D team. The Q06 starts at 135,900 yuan, aiming to scale up data collection for its self-driving system.

Changan's Qiyuan Q06 Debuts Self-Developed ADAS, Rejecting Third-Party Supplier Solutions
On September 23, Changan Automobile launched the Qiyuan Q06 in Hangzhou, featuring its self-developed Tianshu Linghang high-level intelligent driving assistance system, marking a departure from reliance on third-party suppliers like Huawei, Momenta, and Horizon Robotics. The article analyzes Changan's strategy of vertical self-development in the competitive Chinese smart driving market, where most automakers use supplier solutions. Changan has invested over 60 billion yuan over a decade, including 22.5 billion in intelligent products, and built a 7,500-person R&D team. The Q06 uses Horizon's Journey 6P chip for its computing platform, but Changan handles algorithm development and integration, described as an 'Arm+Android' model. Changan executives argue that core algorithms and data must be controlled in-house to avoid being constrained by suppliers. The Q06's starting price of 135,900 yuan aims to drive volume and gather real-world data to fuel a positive feedback loop for its self-driving system. The article contrasts Changan's approach with Chery's shift to a hybrid strategy and BYD's heavier in-house chip development.
Changan's Qiyuan Q06 Uses Self-Developed ADAS, Not Supplier Solution
On September 23, Changan Automobile launched the Qiyuan Q06 in Hangzhou, featuring its self-developed Tianshu Linghang high-level intelligent driving assistance system, marking a departure from using third-party supplier solutions. This contrasts with industry trends where suppliers like Huawei, Momenta, and Horizon dominate the high-level ADAS market. Changan has invested over 60 billion yuan over a decade, including 22.5 billion in intelligent products, and built a 7,500-person R&D team. The Q06 uses Horizon's Journey 6P chip as the core computing platform, with Changan handling algorithm development and integration, described as an 'Arm+Android' model. Changan executives argue that relying on suppliers for core algorithms could limit technological iteration. The Q06's starting price of 135,900 yuan aims to drive volume and gather real-world data to fuel a positive feedback loop for its self-developed system. The article notes that Chery recently shifted from a self-driving subsidiary to a hybrid strategy, while BYD pursues a heavier in-house chip development path.

Changan Qiyuan Q06 Uses In-House ADAS, Not Supplier Solution
On September 23, Changan Automobile launched the Qiyuan Q06 in Hangzhou, featuring its self-developed Tianshu Linghang high-level intelligent driving assistance system, marking a departure from using third-party full-stack solutions. This contrasts with the 2026 market where Huawei, Momenta, and Horizon dominate high-end ADAS. Changan has invested over 60 billion yuan over a decade, including 22.5 billion in smart products, and built a 7,500-person R&D team. The Q06 uses Horizon's Journey 6P chip (560 TOPS) for core computing, with Changan handling algorithm development and integration—a model described as 'Arm+Android' by Horizon's founder. Changan VP He Gang predicted only 5-7 competitive ADAS suppliers will remain by 2028. Chairman Zhu Huarong stated the company chose to persist with self-development despite high costs and risks. The Q06 starts at 135,900 yuan, aiming to scale up and generate real-world data for its self-driving algorithms. This approach is contrasted with Chery's shift to a 'self-developed + supplier' strategy and BYD's heavier in-house chip route.
