What Horizon Robotics does

Chinese fabless chipmaker providing AI processors and software for autonomous driving and ADAS systems.

Sells chips together with its software, and takes licence and service fees from carmakers for custom development, so winning a design on a given car model sets volume for that model's life. It ships through carmaker supply chains rather than to consumers.

In one line: A Chinese Mobileye-lite for autonomous-driving chips.
