HORIZONROBOT-W (09660) saw its stock price soar by 5.09% in Monday's pre-market trading, following the announcement of a significant upgrade to its Horizon SuperDrive™ (HSD) assisted driving system. The upgrade, which incorporates advanced AI technology, positions the company at the forefront of the rapidly evolving intelligent driving industry.

The new version of HSD is based on an industry-leading single-stage end-to-end architecture and reinforcement learning capabilities. This technological advancement allows for a smooth, human-like, and trustworthy full-scenario assisted driving experience comparable to a professional chauffeur. The system's ultra-low latency, strong defensive driving capabilities, and smooth horizontal-vertical integration significantly enhance the safety, efficiency, and comfort of assisted driving.

Adding to the positive sentiment, HORIZONROBOT-W's HSD is scheduled to debut on the Chery Exeed Sterra E05 for mass production delivery within this year. The company has also reached cooperation intentions with nearly 10 global automotive brands, signaling strong growth potential in the automotive AI sector. This development aligns with the broader industry trend towards AI and robotics advancement, as evidenced by NVIDIA's teaser for a new robot "brain" set to be unveiled on the same day.
