9月26日，車載智能芯片製造商熊貓地平線機器人公司宣布，已獲得奇瑞汽車的戰略投資，資金將主要用於芯片的開發和批量生產。同時，雙方將在現有車輛智能交互領域合作的基礎上，正式開啟在先進輔助駕駛領域的新合作。根據該計劃，奇瑞的高端智能電動平台E0X將使用地平線機器人公司的Journey 3芯片構建計算基石。該平台至少計劃推出5款L2+智能駕駛類及以上智能車型。第一款奇瑞E03將於2023年發布，配備高速和城市導航飛行員(NOP)。此外，一款采用基於Journey 2芯片的先進駕駛輔助係統的量產車型將於2022年推出。根據中國乘用車協會的數據，奇瑞在8月份的表現非常出色，被列入新能源汽車銷量超過1萬輛的企業名單。該月奇瑞新能源汽車的批發量達到28778輛，在中國排名第五。1 - 8月，奇瑞新能源汽車累計銷量達159373輛，同比增長241.2%。奇瑞的銷售增長與其新能源戰略密不可分。 On September 16, Chery launched the “Yaoguang 2025” technology strategy covering 13 fields including platform architecture, intelligent driving, an intelligent cloud platform and ecological partners. In the process, Horizon Robotics has gradually grown into Chery’s partner since establishing cooperation last year, providing key technical support. This year, new models such as the Chery Tiggo 8 Pro and OMODA 5 are equipped with a multi-mode interaction scheme based on Journey 3 chips to realize intelligent cockpit functions. Since its establishment, Horizon Robotics has received strategic investment from SAIC Motor, GAC Capital, Great Wall Motor, BYD, FAW Group and many other automotive enterprises, as well as Intel, CATL, Luxshare Precision and many other enterprises in the industrial chain. Horizon Robotics has raised more than $3.4 billion, not counting undisclosed amounts, according to Chinese business data platform Qichacha . For L2-L4 intelligent driving scenarios, Horizon Robotics has launched three products – Journey 2, Journey 3 and Journey 5 – within three years. By the end of 2021, the cumulative shipment of Horizon Robotics’ Journey chips had exceeded 1 million. According to the established plan, Horizon Robotics will launch a more powerful automotive intelligent chip named Journey 6 in 2023, which will use the 7nm process and will have more than 400TOPS of computing power. With the rise of intelligent vehicles in recent years, intelligent cockpits and autonomous driving systems have an increasing demand for large computing chips. Black Sesame Technologies, a manufacturer of self-driving chips, is also growing fast. Its chief marketing officer, Yang Yuxin , has said that by 2025, domestic chips in key areas will start shipping in bulk, perhaps amounting to hundreds of thousands of pieces. Based on optimistic forecasts, in the autonomous driving chip field, China will have the opportunity to share the market with foreign manufacturers by 2025.
