SHANGHAI, July 13, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

At the World Artificial Intelligence Conference 2020 (WAIC 2020) held online

this year, Human Horizons announces its strategic partnership with Microsoft to

jointly develop an on-board AI assistant, the HiPhiGo, for HiPhi vehicles.

Human Horizons is an innovative mobility company with HiPhi, a subsidiary

brand, providing premium smart all-electric vehicles. Supporting the

partnership, HiPhi and Microsoft are in discussion to establish a smart

computing lab. This will be the latest addition to Human Horizons' '3 Smart'

strategic blueprint (Smart Vehicle, Smart Road and Smart City) enhancing its

next generation connected vehicles.

Combining different AI-driven applications to come together in a user-friendly

manner is a challenge, which is where the partnership with Microsoft comes into play.

"Human Horizons has experience in design, engineering, intelligent systems and

more, and has been at the forefront of innovation, with a comprehensive

blueprint and successful practice in the integrated development of the vehicle,

road and city ecosystem," says Dr. Yongdong Wang, global senior Vice President

of Microsoft (Asia) Internet Engineering.

"The strategic partnership with Microsoft will accelerate the development of

our onboard digital AI assistant, HiPhiGo," says Ding Lei, CEO and founder of

Human Horizons and HiPhi. "HiPhi, as a future-oriented innovative mobility

company, and Microsoft, with its unique technological expertise, are

outstandingly well-matched. Together, we will play a key role in shaping the

future of automotive-mobility."

Dr. Yongdong Wang shared, "We are thrilled that HiPhi has chosen Microsoft.

Human Horizons has profound experience in vehicle design, engineering, and

vehicle intelligent systems. As Human Horizons and Microsoft join forces, we

look forward to supporting the company with cutting edge AI technologies for

the development of the vehicle, road and city ecosystem, and to reimagine the

driving experience for people everywhere, together."

Using the onboard AI assistant, HiPhi will significantly optimise the

connections between its vehicles, cloud-based platform, and user-centric

services within the "vehicle-road-city" ecosystem. Microsoft has extensive

technical expertise in computer voice and vision, natural language processing,

and search engine database. This includes Microsoft's text to speech

technology, based on deep neural networks, that is comparable to human speech.

The application of such technologies will provide seamless and engaging

human-machine interaction.

The HiPhiGo AI assistant will also allow HiPhi to leverage mobility services

across its entire portfolio, providing new services and solutions such as

in-car consumer experiences, telematics, and the ability to securely connect

data between the car and its occupants.

AI is an inevitable process of the further development of new-generation

information technology (IT), also a global-concerned direction of deep

integration of IT and economic and social development.

In the future, the solutions developed through this partnership will be rolled

out to other HiPhi products, building the foundation for all customer-centric

services of the brand. HiPhi 1, the first product of the HiPhi brand, will reach

small volume production by the end of 2020 and official deliveries in 2021.
