Horizon Robotics, a provider of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving solutions for passenger vehicles, has revealed plans for the mass production of its SuperDrive autonomous driving solution, as reported in a press release on June 13. This solution aims to provide smooth and human-like autonomous driving in various environments, including urban, highway and parking scenarios. The company plans to collaborate with multiple automotive brands and tier 1 suppliers in the second quarter of 2024, with a mass production-ready version of SuperDrive expected by the fourth quarter of 2024. The first SuperDrive-powered vehicle is scheduled to be produced by the third quarter of 2025.
The SuperDrive system, leveraging Horizon's signature software and hardware co-optimization capabilities, offers autonomous driving capabilities equivalent to a mature human driver. It can navigate complex road conditions and traffic scenarios, ensuring safe and comfortable journeys. This system is capable of observing the entire environment, choosing the optimal moment to make maneuvers, and responding appropriately to unexpected events such as accidents.
Horizon SuperDrive is a significant development in addressing industry challenges such as high latency, extensive rule sets and heavy loads in perception architecture. It is considered an effective tool for advancing the commercialization of smart driving systems and accelerating their mass production. Notably, the launch of Horizon SuperDrive, alongside Horizon Mono and Horizon Pilot assisted driving solutions, strengthens Horizon Robotics' position as a provider with a comprehensive portfolio of ADAS and autonomous driving solutions. The company is actively working with industry partners to deliver safer and more comfortable driving experiences, with the aim of empowering every passenger vehicle with its ADAS and autonomous driving solutions.
