The two companies plan to establish a long-term sustainable partnership that benefits both parties in technological accumulation and industrial resources within the automotive electronics and artificial intelligence fields.  AutoBrain and HIKAUTO will develop an integrated solution that fully satisfies automakers’ various demands.

Specifically, the partners will work together in ADAS solution R&D, joint bidding, and joint promotions. The two companies will set up a joint R&D team, performing system integrations on AutoBrain’s self-developed intelligent driving system, and HIKAUTO’s high-performance, low-consumption intelligent driving domain controller, high-resolution cameras, ultrasonic radars, and millimeter-wave radars. The partners aim to provide production-ready ADAS solutions for automakers.  

AutoBrain has years of experience in the ADAS field. The company introduced China’s first mass-produced high-speed autonomous driving solution, the Mr.Pilot in 2019, and an upgraded Mr.Pilot 2.0 in 2020. In 2021, the company launched its driving/parking integrated solution that is compatible with most mainstream chips. 

The company’s product portfolio is built on top of its self-developed algorithms, allowing multiple ADAS functions for a cost-effective price. Major automakers like BAIC Group, SAIC Motor, and Great Wall Motor are clients of the company.
