Beijing Huixi Intelligent Information Technology

Beijing Huixi Intelligent Information Technology Co., Ltd., operating under the brand rhino.auto (also known as Huixi Technology), is a developer of high-performance computing platforms for the autonomous driving sector. The company was co-founded in April 2022 by Xu Ningyi, Zhang Jianyong, and He Guanghui. Zhang Jianyong's background includes serving as the Associate Vice President of autonomous driving at NIO, where he led the development of the company's first-generation autonomous driver-assistance system. This experience in advanced automotive technology is central to Huixi's strategic direction.

The firm is positioned in the application-specific semiconductors and autonomous mobility markets. It provides automotive manufacturers with a suite of products, including high-end intelligent driving chips, a user-friendly open toolchain, and comprehensive, full-stack autonomous driving solutions. The core of its offering is a scalable System-on-a-Chip (SoC) and a central computer designed for autonomous driving. This is complemented by a data factory and AD algorithms that enable automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to establish their own closed-loop development capabilities for autonomous driving. A key product is the Rhinonet for Perception, which utilizes an advanced BEV (Bird's-Eye-View) architecture to help clients implement urban NOA (Navigate on Autopilot) functions. The company aims to facilitate the mass production of vehicles with advanced autonomous driving features.

The company's business model revolves around providing these integrated hardware and software solutions to enterprises that produce autonomous vehicles. Since its inception, Huixi Technology has secured significant capital to fuel its research and development efforts. The company completed its first Angel round in June 2022, followed by another Angel round raising $50M in December 2022. It continued to attract investment through a Series A round in February 2024 and a subsequent Series A1 in January 2025. Its investor base includes notable venture capital firms and corporate investors such as Shunwei Capital, Xiaomi, NIO Capital, and GSR Ventures. The company has established research and development centers across several Chinese cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, and Hefei, to support its growth and product development.
