Horizon and Volkswagen Group have officially declared an intensification of their collaborative efforts. Leveraging their joint venture entity, Core Cheng (retained as a proper noun), the two partners will embark on a technological partnership centered around the development of an AI foundation large model. Their shared vision is to construct a unified, in-house intelligent driving system tailored for Volkswagen China, thereby expediting the deployment and utilization of L3 and L4 autonomous driving technologies.

As a frontrunner in China's autonomous driving landscape, Horizon boasts a robust suite of software and hardware capabilities, delivering end-to-end intelligent driving solutions. Its HSD V2.0 intelligent driving system has already garnered industry acclaim. Volkswagen's decision to align with Chinese firms stems from the imperative to localize its intelligent driving technology, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with the unique demands and conditions of the Chinese market.
