GRAND ENTRANCE: HUMAN HORIZONS UNVEILS SMART GT BUILT ON NVIDIA DRIVE ORIN
>> The grand tourer HiPhi Z sports autonomous driving capabilities and an AI cockpit to transform the performance-vehicle category.
Touring vehicles just became a little more grand.
Electric vehicle maker Human Horizons provided a detailed glimpse earlier this month of its latest production model, the GT HiPhi Z. The intelligent EV is poised to redefine the grand tourer category with innovative, software-defined capabilities that bring luxurious cruising to the next level.
The vehicle’s marquee features include an in-vehicle AI assistant and autonomous driving system powered by NVIDIA DRIVE Orin.
The GT badge first appeared on vehicles in the mid-20th century, denoting smooth performance with a roomy interior for longer joy rides. Since then, the segment has diversified, with varied takes on horsepower and body design.
The HiPhi Z further iterates on the vehicle type, emphasizing smart performance and a convenient, comfortable in-cabin experience.
Smooth Sailing
An EV designed to be driven, the GT HiPhi Z also incorporates robust advanced driver assistance features that can give humans a break on longer trips.
The HiPhi Pilot ADAS platform provides dual redundancy for computing, perception, communication, braking, steering and power supply. It uses the high-performance AI compute of NVIDIA DRIVE Orin and 34 sensors to perform assisted driving and parking, as well as smart summon, which transports the car autonomously to the driver with the touch of an app.
DRIVE Orin is designed to handle the large number of applications and deep neural networks running simultaneously for autonomous driving capabilities. It’s architected to achieve systematic safety standards such as the ISO 26262 ASIL-D.
With this high level of performance at its core, the HiPhi Pilot system delivers seamless automated features that remove the stress from driving.
Intelligent Interior
Staying true to its GT DNA, the HiPhi Z sports a luxurious interior that delivers effortless comfort for both the driver and passengers.
The cabin includes suede bucket seats, ambient panel lights and a 23-speaker audio system for an immersive sensory environment.
It’s also intelligent, with the HiPhi Bot AI companion that can automatically adjust aspects of the vehicle experience. The AI assistant uses a vehicle-grade, adjustable, high-speed motion robotic arm to interact with passengers. It can move back and forth in less than a second, with control accuracy of up to 0.001 millimeters, performing a variety of delicate movements seamlessly.
The GT HiPhi Z is currently on display in Shenzen, China, and will tour nearly a dozen other cities. Human Horizons plans to release details of the full launch at the Chengdu Auto Show in August.

PONY.AI EXPRESS: NEW AUTONOMOUS TRUCKING COLLABORATION POWERED BY NVIDIA DRIVE ORIN
>> The electric vehicle delivers intuitive, intelligent experiences for every passenger with high-performance sensors and AI compute.
Finally, there’s a family car any kid would want to be seen in.
Beijing-based startup Li Auto this week rolled out its second electric vehicle, the L9. It’s a full-size SUV decked out with the latest intelligent driving technology.
With AI features and an extended battery range of more than 800 miles, the L9 promises to elevate the playing field for luxury family vehicles.
Li Auto is deploying its newest automated driving features with the expansion of its vehicle lineup, using a software-defined compute platform built on two NVIDIA DRIVE Orin systems-on-a-chip (SoCs).
With more than 500 trillion operations per second (TOPS), the L9’s compute platform can run various deep neural networks simultaneously and in real time, all while ensuring the redundancy and diversity necessary for safety.
First-Class Safety and Security
As a top-line luxury model, the L9 sports only the best when it comes to AI-assisted driving technology.
All Li Auto vehicles come standard with the electric automaker’s advanced driver assistance system, Li AD Max. To achieve surround perception, the system uses one forward-facing lidar, 11 cameras, one radar and 12 ultrasonic sensors, as well as DRIVE Orin SoCs.
In addition to handling the large number of applications and deep neural networks necessary for autonomous driving, DRIVE Orin is architected to achieve systematic safety standards such as the ISO 26262 ASIL-D. Its dual processors provide fallback redundancies for each other, further ensuring safe operation.
The L9’s high-performance sensors also enable round-the-clock security features, monitoring both the car’s interior and exterior.
Innovative Infotainment
Inside the vehicle, five 3D-capable screens transform the in-cabin experience.
In the cockpit, a combined head-up display and confidence view enhance safety for the person driving. The head-up display projects key driving information onto the front windshield, and the interactive visualization feature of the vehicle’s perception system is located above the steering wheel, keeping the driver’s attention on the road.
The L9’s screens for central control, passenger entertainment and rear cabin entertainment are 15.7-inch, 3K-resolution, automotive-grade OLED displays that deliver first-class visual experiences for every occupant.
Passengers can also interact with the intelligent in-cabin system via interior sensors and natural language processing.
Designed to optimize all driver and passenger experiences, the L9 represents the top of the line for luxury family vehicles.
