At CES 2020 held in Las Vegas, horizon, the global leader of edge AI chips, participated in the exhibition with China's first car specification level AI chips, ADAS solutions, a new generation matrix computing platform and a series of intelligent driving landing achievements, demonstrating a multi-level, multi-dimensional and multi scene intelligent driving "core" ecology to the participants. In 2019, horizon's business growth at home and abroad ushered in a new turning point with the second generation of mass production and successful pre deployment installation. As a key year for commercialization, horizon has launched multi-dimensional cooperation with many top tier 1s in the fields of ADAS, automatic driving, multi-mode interaction, etc., with orders of hundreds of millions of yuan in the intelligent driving business. From zero to one, horizon has set up a solid commercial road for AI Pratt & Whitney in its own way. Based on the first AI chip of vehicle specification level in China, the second generation of journey, horizon launched a single vision ADAS solution for the global market. This scheme can effectively detect and recognize nearly 100 kinds of targets in six categories, such as vehicles, pedestrians, road lines, traffic signs, license plates, traffic lights, etc. Not only that, horizon's single vision ADAS solution has also been optimized specifically for Chinese roads and scenes to ensure the development of partners in the world's largest automobile market. In the center area of the exhibition stand, horizon focuses on the ADAS solution and a series of enabling achievements based on the second generation of journey chip, including many top tier 1s and OEMs cooperation solutions such as mainland, SK Telecom, Freetech, InBev supercomputing, and some of the cooperation projects are expected to achieve pre installed mass production within 2020. From providing system reference solutions, to fully open sensing results, to full stack solutions of tool chain, horizon is providing different levels of product delivery and services based on the different needs of the second generation of journey for customers, so as to fully enable the intelligent upgrading of the automobile industry with deep-seated and multi-dimensional comprehensive open services. Horizon also announced its strategic cooperation with the world's leading auto parts technology company, Faurecia, on the first day of its exhibition with some international and domestic customer cooperation products ces. The scope of cooperation between the two sides covers advanced assisted driving, automatic driving, intelligent cockpit and other fields. By providing highly efficient AI chips and open tool chain services, horizon will enable Faurecia to build intelligent driving products and solutions with high cost performance and mass production, and accelerate Faurecia's strategic transformation in the era of automotive electronic intelligence. Horizon and Faurecia have officially reached strategic cooperation (from left to right: Zhang Yufeng, vice president and general manager of intelligent driving product line of horizon, Huang Chang, co-founder and vice president of technology of horizon, Tang Defu, President of Faurecia China, Benjamin, President of Faurecia China automotive electronics business unit) matrix 2. In the face of the accelerating trend of automatic driving landing, horizon is empowering customers by providing matrix based ready to use visual perception solutions and open chip tool chain services, enabling customers to focus on the improvement of user experience differentiation and large-scale deployment and operation of the fleet, so as to win the first chance in the fast-growing market. In this CES, the horizon matrix based on the second generation of AI chips of vehicle specification Gamma The first public appearance of the automatic driving computing platform, matrix 2 after iteration has the characteristics of higher performance, lower power consumption and cost, which can meet the needs of high-level automatic driving operation teams and unmanned low-speed cars in many countries and different scenarios. Horizon matrix for the first time Gamma Compared with the previous generation, matrix 2 is equipped with 16tops equivalent computing power in terms of performance, while its power consumption is only 2 / 3 of the original. At the perception level, matrix 2 can support multi-sensor sensing and fusion, including camera, lidar, etc., and achieve up to 23 semantic segmentation and five major categories of target detection with low delay. It is worth mentioning that the horizon perception algorithm implemented on matrix 2 can cope with complex environment, and can output stable perception results even in special scenes or extreme weather conditions. At present, in hundreds of autonomous driving markets, the number of autonomous vehicles enabled by horizon matrix has reached nearly 1000. With the launch of matrix 2, horizon's size and share in the autonomous driving market will further grow. The technology first advantage drives the intelligent driving business to land, along with China's first car specification level AI chip, which is on the way to mass production of the second generation. Horizon is making great strides in the commercialization of intelligent driving. In this CES, horizon and its partners jointly demonstrated the edge AI "core" ecology, showing the audience a number of cooperative landing solutions such as ADAS, automatic driving, crowdsourcing high-precision map, and in car multi-mode interaction. Horizon intelligent driving "core" ecology at present, horizon ADAS, automatic driving and multi-mode interactive business scale are in the leading echelon, and it is one of the few AI enterprises in China to achieve large revenue. As the key year of commercialization, in 2019, horizon intelligent driving business orders up to several hundred million yuan in the year. With more projects gradually implemented, it is expected that the fixed-point projects will reach double digits by 2020, and the annual shipment volume of journey series chips will reach million level in 2022. The technology first mover advantage promotes the process of commercialization, and provides a steady stream of kinetic energy for the actual scenario of horizon empowerment. Horizon will continue to push through the old and bring forth the new in the recognized hard technology and long-distance innovation of vehicle AI chip. It is expected that horizon will launch a new generation of vehicle specification level AI chips in succession this year, which will inject new potential energy into the acceleration of automatic driving and landing. Since the establishment of roadmap, horizon has been in ces for four consecutive years, and each year's exhibits bring new surprises to the industry. From edge computing prototype products to AI chips emerging, to the implementation of full scenario solutions, to multi-level ecological empowerment, the horizon is moving steadily towards the vision of the global leader of edge AI chips. Four years later, no matter in product technology or business operation, horizon has made remarkable achievements in the industry. Around the "Ai on horizon, journey together" strategy, horizon will continue to work on the "algorithm + chip + tool chain" basic technology platform, adhere to the positioning of the bottom-level enablers, enable everything with artificial intelligence, and make everyone's life safer and better.
