SHANGHAI, Sept. 17, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Human Horizons, a leading Chinese smart mobility and autonomous driving

research company, announced the rollout of its world-first Level 4 Autonomous

Valet Parking (AVP) system on the HiPhi X production vehicle. The launch comes

after successful development and testing at the Shanghai research center and

marks a milestone in advanced autonomous driving technology research.

Human Horizons Founder and CEO, Ding Lei noted, "Human Horizons leverages

technology to enhance the driving experience and efficiency while prioritizing

user safety for our projects. With this in mind, we seek to promote autonomous

driving and launch V2X technology ready for mass-market application."

The newly developed AVP delivers an advanced Level 4 autonomous driving

experience based on the integration of vehicle and road-integrated

technologies. Fixed sensory equipment such as lasers, radar and communications

devices in parking areas can identify and track vehicle and obstacle positions,

send this information via 5G to the vehicle and guide it to a safe parking

space. Drivers will be able to exit their car anywhere in the parking area and

leave the car to park itself autonomously. Upon returning, drivers will be able

to summon the vehicle to their current location using a mobile app and drive away.

The integrated system of AVP can overcome the challenges autonomous vehicles

face at underground parking lots with no GPS signal, blind spots and tight

turning circles. This makes HiPhi X the industry leader in this area.

Equipped with this technology, the HiPhi X will debut at the 2020 Beijing Auto

Show, becoming the world's first mass-produced smart electric vehicle to

achieve Level 4 fully autonomous parking.

Aside from the AVP system, the newly-launched autopilot system of HiPhi X also

puts user safety at the forefront of development. The system employs the same

principles as aircraft safety design, using a dual-redundancy system meaning

backup components ensure the reliability of the system even in the case of

single-component malfunction. This system can start, stop, turn and drive the

vehicle within a 0-130km/h speed range. This allows drivers to take their foot,

hands, eyes and attention away from the road and is achieved by 24 sensors

placed throughout the car (including smart front view and surround-view

cameras, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar, driver status detection DMS

cameras and more). This together with high-precision mapping technology allows

HiPhi X to achieve Level 4 autonomous parking making it the first production

model to achieve this in China.

In 2019, as part of its strategic blueprint of the Smart Vehicle, Smart Road

and Smart City ecosystem, Human Horizons established the world's first

smart-road capable of V2X driving in Yancheng, Jiangsu province. The team also

launched a 5G vehicle-road-city integration demonstration project in Shanghai's

Zhangjiang Artificial Intelligence Park. With the launch of AVP and its

application on parking lots and highways, Human Horizons' vision of connected,

autonomous and smart mobility is one step closer.
