Horizon Robotics
Horizon Robotics (HKEX: 9660) is a publicly traded Robotaxi / AV company founded in 2015 and based in Beijing, China.
Horizon Robotics was founded in 2015 by former Baidu employees including Kai Yu, who serves as chairman and CEO, and is headquartered in Beijing. It designs the Journey family of automotive processing hardware and the driver-assistance software that runs on it, from basic ADAS to the Horizon SuperDrive urban system, and more than 95% of its 2025 shipments went through ecosystem partners such as Tier-1 suppliers. It earns revenue from products and solutions, which bundle hardware and software, and from licensing its algorithms and software stack; in 2025 these contributed RMB1.62 billion and RMB1.94 billion. Total 2025 revenue rose 57.7% to RMB3.76 billion at a 64.5% gross margin, with an adjusted net loss of RMB2.81 billion. Horizon listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in October 2024 and held RMB20.2 billion in cash and cash equivalents on December 31, 2025. It had 2,215 full-time employees at that date.
Horizon shipped 4.01 million Journey processors in 2025, 45% of them supporting highway or urban navigate-on-autopilot, and says it held 44.2% of advanced NOA in Chinese cars priced under RMB200,000. Its Horizon SuperDrive system won 2025 design wins from 10 automaker brands for more than 20 models. CARIZON, its joint venture with Volkswagen's CARIAD since November 2023, began mass production of its initial model in early 2026, with six more models due that year. Horizon targeted Q3 2026 for robotaxi pilots with partners in Chinese cities.
