HOZON Auto launches research centre in Silicon Valley to pioneer autonomous driving

HOZON Auto Autonomous Vehicle Research Centre (Silicon Valley) has officially opened in the United States, marking a crucial step-forward in building out its global strategic R&D layout, and opening up a new path for global autonomous driving technology.

As a global hub of science and technology innovation, the Silicon Valley is the epicenter of autonomous driving, bringing together the world's top R&D institutions focusing on autonomous driving technology, such as Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Baidu.

As the 13th car company to be granted a license for manufacturing new energy vehicles in China, HOZON Auto has been always focused on R&D for intelligent internet-connected new energy vehicles since its establishment in 2014. With a mature R&D system, HOZON Auto has developed a L4 level test vehicle with autonomous driving functionality.

At the beginning of 2018, HOZON Auto established a global R&D strategy that focuses on building R&D centres worldwide in five cities across four countries, including Autonomous Vehicle Research Centre (Silicon Valley), Italy Torino Design Centre (underway), German Engineering and Technology Centre (underway), and Shanghai and Jiaxing R&D Centres.

The HOZON Auto Autonomous Vehicle Research Centre (Silicon Valley) marks a crucial step in building global strategic R&D layout. In the future, the centre will focus on the research of autonomous driving and AI, and lead the development and industrial application of autonomous driving technology worldwide through the core algorithms aimed at improving autonomous driving and open source architecture system platforms by in-depth study of big data and deep learning technology.
