Horizon Robotics and ZF unveil “coPILOT,” an urban NOA driving system powered by the Journey 6P chip, slated for mass production in 2026.
Autonomous driving technology provider Horizon Robotics and automotive supplier ZF Group (ZF) today announced their joint rollout of the “coPILOT” urban Navigation-on-Autopilot (NOA) driver assistance system for the Chinese market. The system has already been designated for a domestic OEM brand and is slated for mass production in 2026.
The new platform is built on ZF’s “ProAI” compute architecture, and Horizon’s flagship “Journey 6P” compute-stack designed specifically for urban driver-assist applications. With a computing capability of up to 1,000+ TOPS (trillions of operations per second) enabled by the Journey 6P’s 560 TOPS base level and multi-core heterogeneous compute design, the system supports a full array of driver-assist-and automated-parking scenarios.
Horizon’s Journey 6 series already spans 18-560 TOPS and has achieved cumulative mass-production shipments of over 10 million units as of August 2025, making it the first Chinese AD tech brand to cross that threshold. The Journey 6 family has been selected by more than 20 automotive OEMs globally, including leading domestic, international, and NEV players.
The coPILOT system is designed to cover highway driver-assist, urban NOA, automated parking, and “parking-spot to car” full-scene functionality—highlighting ZF and Horizon’s ambition to deliver advanced driver assistance for the next wave of Chinese mobility.
