Today, Horizon Robotics' founder Yu Kai and Shenlan Automotive's Chairman Deng Chenghao co-hosted a live - streamed test of the intelligent assisted driving features in the Shenlan L06. Yu Kai remarked that the ongoing debate between vision - based and lidar - based solutions lacks real - world relevance. He explained that lidar mainly acts as a supplementary and safety - net component for vision - centric systems. In his view, China's intelligent driving assistance technology should prioritize the development of 'anticipatory' capabilities.

The Shenlan L06 will come equipped with the DEEPAL AD Max system, which includes standard lidar. The algorithm chip for this system is supplied by Horizon Robotics, and it employs an algorithm that shares its roots with Tesla's Full Self - Driving (FSD) system. Deng Chenghao disclosed that the vehicle is set to start pre - sales soon and will have an official launch next month. According to Shenlan Automotive's official teaser, the Shenlan L06 will be powered by a MediaTek 3nm cockpit chip. This chip has topped AnTuTu's automotive benchmark tests, marking significant advancements in core performance areas like CPU, GPU, and NPU.
