Horizon Robotics Supplies Assisted Driving Software to Chery for Flagship Model
Chinese automaker Chery and technology provider Horizon Robotics announced a strategic partnership on April 18 in Shanghai, revealing that Chery’s upcoming flagship vehicle will integrate Horizon’s Horizon SuperDrive (HSD) system. Scheduled for mass production in September, this full-stack solution combines Horizon’s Journey 6 processing hardware with an end-to-end neural network deep learning model, akin to Tesla’s approach. The system aims to enable human-like urban autonomous navigation across Chinese cities. This collaboration builds on existing ties, as Chery previously invested in Horizon and utilized its Journey 3 computing solution for its premium Exeed brand sedan. Horizon Robotics, listed in Hong Kong, has established itself as a key player in the automotive tech sector, partnering with major global manufacturers such as Volkswagen and BYD. Currently, over 200 vehicle models in the market feature Horizon’s technology. This announcement highlights the growing integration of advanced AI-driven autonomous driving solutions in China’s competitive electric vehicle market, showcasing the synergy between traditional automakers and specialized tech firms to enhance vehicle intelligence and consumer appeal.
