About Horizon Robotics
Horizon Robotics designs automotive computing around its own BPU acceleration architecture, matching hardware with the workloads used in driving assistance. The Journey family scales across different vehicle requirements, allowing manufacturers to choose computing configurations for basic assistance through more complex urban-driving systems.
The company supplies an associated software and hardware development platform so customers can build and integrate functions around those processors. Its design process links algorithm development with computing architecture and vehicle-production requirements. This places Horizon within the automaker’s electronics and software development process, supplying the computing foundation for sensor interpretation and driving decisions.

The vehicle is designed for Level 4 unmanned logistics operations and uses Journey 6P as its intelligent-driving compute platform. Horizon chairman Yu Kai said the collaboration could support deployment of about one million unmanned logistics vehicles over the next three years. The selection extends Journey 6P into a high-volume autonomous last-mile delivery programme.
Source - 2026-09-03 - Production Milestone - Horizon Robotics passes 15 million Journey SoCs shipped
Journey-series chips are used in vehicles owned by approximately 8 million customers across more than 40 automobile brands. Horizon has secured nominations for 500 production vehicle models, including nearly 130 models with mid- to high-level driver-assistance functions. The nominated programmes represent more than 20 million SoC sets, with additional vehicle programmes expected to enter production progressively.
Source - 2026-07-30 - Production Milestone - Volkswagen begins Journey 6M vehicle deliveries in China
The two vehicles launched and entered customer delivery on 23 May 2026. Journey 6M powers the delivered vision-only configuration as standard equipment. A Journey 6H lidar configuration remained planned for later in 2026 and is excluded from the completed milestone.
Source - 2026-07-27 - Production Milestone - Horizon surpasses 200,000 Journey sets delivered across FAW models
The milestone counts delivered Journey hardware-and-software sets across more than 20 FAW vehicle models, providing a production-volume measure rather than a future nomination or order target. The announcement separates this delivered Journey base from Horizon SuperDrive (HSD) production plans for 2026, which remain forward-looking and are not counted as completed volume. The result records Horizon’s growing automotive deployment footprint across FAW programmes while leaving the individual Journey variant and vehicle-level allocations unspecified.
