Horizon Continental Technology and Beidou Intelligent Connect Reach Strategic Cooperation, Joining Hands to Define a New Benchmark for Cockpit-Driving Integration

During the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, Horizon Continental Technology and Beidou Intelligent Connect officially signed a strategic cooperation agreement. The two sides announced that they will integrate global high-quality resources and carry out strategic cooperation in the field of assisted driving, committing to providing global automakers with new cross-domain integration solutions featuring enhanced safety and cost-effectiveness, thus opening a new era of intelligent mobility.

The powerful collaboration focuses on the commanding heights of intelligent cockpit and assisted driving technologies, aiming to build a trinity strategic cooperation system of "ecology-research & development-mass production".In the technical dimension, the two sides will leverage Beidou Intelligent Connect's full-stack technical capabilities in the intelligent cockpit field, including the hardware, system architecture, bottom software middleware design, and system integration & engineering delivery capabilities of its cockpit-driving fusion platform. Combined with Continental Intelligent Driving's core advantages in AI algorithms, hardware-software architecture, and data closed-loop platforms for assisted driving, they will jointly create next-generation cross-domain fusion computing solutions. In the industrial dimension, they will achieve cost optimization through deep integration of supply chains and develop intelligent driving equalization solutions for 100,000-level vehicle models. In the ecological dimension, they will build an open technical platform to connect the entire upstream-downstream ecological chain.

The products of this cooperation focus on the concept of "cockpit-driving parity". They will achieve the popularization of standard-equipped assisted driving through shared computing power resources, enabling 100,000-yuan economy models to have high-speed piloting capabilities. In addition, the high-end version is committed to providing a "user-friendly and lovable" intelligent driving experience, supporting scenarios such as multi-modal generative interaction, narrow-road detour avoidance, left/right turns and U-turns at complex intersections, and congestion negotiation, creating a "butler-style" intelligent travel experience for users of more mid-to-high-end models.

Li Biao, CEO of Horizon Continental Technology, said at the signing ceremony: "Through cross-domain integration, the joint solutions of the two sides will significantly reduce the R&D costs of automakers, promote the popularization of intelligence in the mass market, and bring leading intelligent driving products to every continent."

"This cooperation is not a simple technical superposition, but a value reconstruction of the automotive intelligent industry," said Zhang Jingfeng, President of Beidou Intelligent Connect. "We are moving from single-point breakthroughs to systematic innovation, refreshing the star-level intelligent driving experience through deep cockpit-driving integration."

This powerful alliance between the "veteran of intelligent cockpits" and the "innovative enterprise in intelligent driving" marks a new stage of ecological competition and cooperation in China's automotive intelligence. The deep coupling of the technical matrices of the two sides will accelerate the popularization process of advanced assisted driving technologies, jointly reshape the global automotive industry landscape, and lead the global wave of technological innovation in automotive intelligent networking with Chinese wisdom.
