According to a WeChat press release on Dec. 21, 2023, Horizon Robotics announced that the Sterra ES, a model under Chery’s Exeed brand, will have Horizon Robotics’ Journey 3 chip and Horizon Matrix Mono 3 monocular visual perception solution as standard features. Chery Automobile and Horizon jointly launched the Sterra ES, the first mass-produced cooperation model in the field of Level 2+ high-end assisted driving. The chip enables NEP all-lane cruising and full-speed autonomous driving. The model also features Level 2 driving assistance functions such as adaptive cruise, intelligent cruise assist, lane-departure suppression, emergency lane keeping and blind spot monitoring.
The Max long-range version of the Sterra ES is equipped with the HoloArk 1.0 autonomous driving domain controller built by HoloArk based on the Dual Journey 3, which offers NEP high-speed piloting, lever-control lane change, automatic parking, remote control parking, and memory integrated driving and parking functions. The Mono 3 solution, an 8-MP, single-view sensing solution launched by Horizon based on the Journey 3 chip, provides ultralow-power performance, and supports the formation of a three-province driving experience that saves worry, effort and time.
In 2022, Horizon and Chery will officially launch a new cooperation in the field of Level 2+ high-end assisted driving, with Chery's E0X platform using the Journey 3 chip as the basis of computing power. At least four more intelligent models for Level 2+ and above will be equipped with Journey 3 chips after the launch of Sterra ES.
