/PRZWT/On November 18th, the Deep Blue L06 was officially launched and sold. With a limited-time surprise price of 132,900 yuan and a pricing strategy of "full configuration from entry", it is equipped with the world's first DEEPAL AD Max system as standard, making a strong entry into the 150,000-yuan new energy vehicle market and becoming a "dark horse" in assisted driving with both technological breakthroughs. As the result of in-depth co-creation among Horizon, Deep Blue and Changan, the DEEPAL AD Max system builds an advanced algorithm architecture of one-stage end-to-end + reinforcement learning based on the Journey 6, which can provide users with intelligent assisted driving functions that are smooth in experience and human-like in all scenarios, setting a new benchmark for intelligence in the same class.
Today, with intelligence becoming the core competitiveness, the Deep Blue L06 has further set a new industry standard with its intelligent assisted driving experience of "better understanding Chinese roads and being able to drive anywhere". The new car is equipped with lidar and Horizon Journey 6 as standard across the entire series, and is the first to be equipped with the DEEPAL AD Max intelligent driving assistance system, which adopts a one-stage end-to-end intelligent driving assistance algorithm similar to that of Tesla, achieving "seamless completion" from perception to control. With over 30 active safety features and a coverage of 30,000 scene datasets, a "novices friendly intelligent assisted driving system" covering all scenarios including highways, urban areas, and parking has been built for users, easily achieving a travel experience of "driving wherever there is a road and parking wherever there is a seat". Whether it's passing through unprotected intersections in complex urban areas or parking in narrow Spaces with just one click, the Deep Blue L06 can accurately judge and smoothly control the vehicle, allowing novice drivers to handle the situation as calmly as experienced ones and truly bid farewell to the troubles of panic on the road and difficulty in parking.
Meanwhile, the Deep Blue L06 also brings the industry's first mass-produced autonomous city roaming function. When users want to relax in their spare time but have no clear destination, they just need to activate this function. The vehicle can plan the route independently, bringing a City Drive that moves at will and making the trip full of the joy of exploration.
Behind the advanced experience lies the collaborative efforts of the system's algorithms and hardware. The ability to fulfill the upper limit determined by computing power and algorithms is attributed to Horizon HSD's one-stage end-to-end architecture and reinforcement learning algorithms, which integrate millions of kilometers of real road condition data from Changan Automobile every day for continuous training, making the system's behavioral decisions and vehicle control closer to the logic of real driving. In urban road scenarios, the system can seamlessly handle complex operations such as lane changing, turning, and detour, with 100% consistency in behavior across all scenarios and smooth, continuous movements. The horizontal and vertical vehicle control coordination optimization effectively reduces the frequency of vehicle drags and jerks by over 90%. Combined with the defensive driving strategy, potential risks can be predicted in advance, making travel safer and more comfortable.
The JZ 6 is equipped with the BPU Nash architecture, which is specifically designed for the brain of intelligent vehicles. This makes intelligent driving computing targeted and more efficient, ensuring the system's stability and reliability in complex urban scenarios and providing users with an "increasingly reassuring" intelligent assisted driving guarantee.
This cooperation marks an important milestone in the continuous deepening of Horizon Robotics and Changan Group in the field of intelligence. Since the Changan UNI-T's first ride on the JZ 2 computing solution in 2020 became a bestseller, the two sides have collaborated on multiple platforms and models. This collaboration with Deep Blue Auto has deeply integrated the three teams in intelligent driving technology, vehicle control and hardware development, promoting a leapfrog advancement in the intelligent assisted driving experience of the Deep Blue L06, and enabling the useful intelligent assisted driving technology to move from "trial" to "universal".
As the "greatest common divisor" of the intelligent driving industry, Horizon Robotics has reached cooperation with many mainstream brands, including the top ten Chinese automakers, empowering over 400 models and cumulatively delivering more than 10 million sets of chips. The Journey 6 series has achieved full maturity and has secured mass production cooperation with over 20 automakers and brands. Starting from 2025, more than 100 models equipped with the Journey 6 will be launched, continuously promoting the popularization of leading intelligent assisted driving technology.
Since its pre-sale, the Deep Blue L06 has quickly gained high recognition from the market and users with its "superior configuration" and "human-like experience", becoming a highly competitive smart product in the new energy vehicle market within 150,000 yuan. After test drives by the media and users, the performance of its intelligent assisted driving was generally praised as "excellent and more like an experienced driver". Especially in congested traffic conditions, the consistency of decision-making and comfort were widely commended, once again confirming the strong appeal of Horizon's cooperative models to become bestsellers upon mass production.
In the future, Horizon will continue to collaborate with its industrial chain partners to promote intelligent assisted driving further into mainstream families and young users, making leading intelligent technology truly become a standard travel feature accessible to everyone.
