Horizon Starry AI Cockpit Solution Wins NEV Platform Project

Horizon Starry Secures New NEV Platform Application

Beijing Horizon Information Technology Co., Ltd (Horizon Robotics) announced that ecosystem partner PATEO CONNECT Technology (Shanghai) Corporation has secured a project nomination from a leading Chinese new energy vehicle manufacturer. PATEO will serve as a supplier for the automaker’s new vehicle platform, providing a high-end AI cockpit solution developed around the Horizon Starry chip. The project represents a new application of Horizon Robotics’ integrated computing approach, combining intelligent cockpit capabilities with intelligent driving functions through a single-chip architecture. The companies will continue development activities and preparations for eventual mass production.

Horizon Starry Integrates Intelligent Driving And Cockpit Computing

Horizon Starry uses an integrated single-chip design that enables pooled computing resources, unified systems, and data sharing between intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit functions. According to Horizon Robotics, the solution can reduce the space occupied by in-vehicle hardware by approximately 50% and lower overall hardware costs by CNY 1,500–4,000 per vehicle. The chip-based architecture is also designed to shorten the vehicle intelligence research and development and delivery cycle from 18 months to 8 months. These capabilities are intended to support more efficient vehicle electronics integration while reducing hardware requirements and development timelines.

PATEO To Deliver Integrated AI Cockpit Architecture

PATEO will combine its in-house developed operating system, AI applications, intelligent cockpit domain controller hardware, and cloud-based AI services with Horizon Robotics’ domestically developed chip platform. The resulting system supports multimodal perception fusion, on-device large model inference, physical AI-powered real-time scenario reasoning, and human-vehicle interaction understanding. The collaboration therefore combines software, hardware, computing, and cloud-based capabilities within the cockpit architecture. PATEO CONNECT Technology (Shanghai) Corporation and China-based Horizon Robotics will continue advancing project development and mass-production preparations for the nominated vehicle platform.
