About Horizon Robotics
Horizon Robotics designs processors and software for driver assistance and automated driving, built to run neural networks inside the vehicle rather than in the cloud. Its chips use the company's own neural network accelerator design, which it calls a BPU. The Journey series is the vehicle product line, with Journey 6 the latest generation. Horizon was founded in 2015 and is based in Beijing, and its shares have traded on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since October 2024 under the ticker 9660.

What Horizon Robotics works on
Edge Computing
Edge computing means processing data close to where it is produced, on a device or a nearby server, instead of sending everything to a distant cloud data center. In chip terms, edge processors are small, low-power chips that run software and AI models inside phones, cameras, cars and sensors.
AI Accelerators
An AI accelerator is a chip, or a part of a chip, designed to run machine learning faster or with less energy than a general-purpose processor. The category includes GPUs, TPUs, neural processing units (NPUs) and chips from many startups.
