Recently, Neusoft Reach announced that targeting the L2++ level, it has achieved mass production of the X-Box 4.0, a high performance integration of driving and parking domain controller based on the Horizon Journey 5 chip. This product has been designated for mass production of a mainstream Chinese vehicle and will be launched in the second half of 2023.

X-Box 4.0

The successful mass production of this high performance integration of driving and parking domain controller marks the beginning of the large-scale mass production era of high performance integration of driving and parking domain controller in China’s autonomous driving industry, with the comprehensive integration of self-developed chips, algorithms, software, and hardware in the research and development and mass production application chain.

Safe and reliable driving is the top priority for the mass production and implementation of advanced intelligent driving. Based on a deep understanding of local road scenes in China, Neusoft Reach high performance integration of driving and parking domain controller X-Box 4.0 can cope with complex road conditions such as “partial urban scenes+highways+expressways” and special traffic scenarios such as pedestrian/object collision avoidance. It can safely and effectively respond to precise perception and avoidance of various abnormal and unknown obstacles.

Functional safety and network security have also become the core elements affecting the mass production of advanced intelligent driving. Neusoft Reach high performance integration of driving and parking domain controller X-Box 4.0 supports the access of 11 channels of high-definition cameras, 4D millimeter wave radar, ultrasonic radar, and 8 million pixel camera. Functional safety and information security follow ISO 26262 and ISO 21434 standards, implement the minimum risk strategy for typical driving and parking scenarios, and implement safe startup, safe storage, and security upgrade for the Internet connected system on the car end, cloud end, and mobile phone end Deployment of security communication and other modules.

Due to its high reliability, rapid introduction into mass production, and ability to cope with complex operating conditions, Neusoft Reach high performance integration of driving and parking domain controller X-Box 4.0 supports more than 40 auxiliary driving functions, enabling mass production vehicles to achieve high-speed NOA, such as HWA (Highway Assist Driving), TJA (Traffic Congestion Assist System), AES (Automatic Emergency Steering), etc. It simultaneously supports parking functions such as APA (Intelligent Parking Assist), HPA (Memory Parking Full Speed Adaptive Cruise Control), RPA (Remote Parking), etc. And it supports special functions such as magic carpet function and matrix pixel headlights, creating a smoother human-vehicle interaction and a more differentiated driving experience.

With nearly 20 years of independent research and development experience in automatic driving, based on the open SOA Software architecture design, AI perception algorithm, intelligent decision planning algorithm, vehicle control algorithm, etc., Neusoft Reach has become the first Tier1 realized mass production of integration of driving and parking domain controller in China. The series of integration of driving and parking domain controller products have been applied to many domestic vehicles. Horizon Journey 5 is the first mass-produced 100 TOPS high computing power automotive intelligent chip in China, specifically designed for high-level intelligent driving applications, enabling multiple industry benchmark models achieve a superior intelligent driving experience.

Since the cooperation between Neusoft Reach and Horizon in 2021, they have utilized their respective technological advantages and experience to jointly promote the progress and breakthrough of intelligent driving technology. The X-Box 4.0 high performance integration of driving and parking domain controller has taken the lead in mass production in mainstream OEMs, based on the rich production experience accumulated by both parties in their respective fields, and fully reflects the ecological construction achievements under the collaborative innovation mode of both parties.

In the future, both sides will continue to deepen strategic cooperation, through technology, cooperation and mass production implementation, to create a high-performance, cost-effective and able to realize mass production intelligent driving solution, promote the large-scale front-end application of autonomous driving technology achievements, and assist in the intelligent upgrading of the automotive industry.
