The Tiggo 8 is powered by the Horizon Halo®️ 3.0 intelligent onboard interactive solution (Halo 3.0), becoming the first intelligent vehicle capable of all-scenario multimode interaction within the industry.

The vehicle's Lion 5.0 AI smart cockpitrealizes6 industry-leading categories and 15 emotion recognition interactive functions. As anindustry-first, the Tiggo 8 PRO holds several innovative functions, including activation-free all-time recognition, and passenger sleep care. Other advanced functions of the cockpit include fatigue detection, hand gesture recognition, distraction detection, and multi-mode intelligent speech.

On the other hand, building on the Journey 3 chip, the Halo 3.0 interactive solution is able to solve the universal challenges of recognition complexity, accuracy, and time lag under strong noise. Horizon Robotics’ hardware and algorithm empowered the Halo 3.0 to achieve an AI computing efficiency 5-10 times higher than usual.

The company’s self-developed BPU accelerator can transplant the universal voice recognition technology onto the Journey 3 chip, realizing all-time activation-free function. This means that users do not need to summon the voice assistant to interact with it. In addition, the Halo 3.0 adopts an offline scheme that protects users' privacy while delivering twice the reaction speed of a traditional cloud-based scheme. Moreover, the Halo 3.0’s universal recognition feature enables users to conduct natural voice control without memorizing fixed words of command.

Horizon Robotics disclosed that it is working with Chery Auto to build an interactive solution that works on/off board based on the Journey 5 chip.
