Human Horizons' next China-only EV will come with a robotic arm and 'light curtains'

The GT HiPhi Z is a four-door grand touring car with a high-speed robotic arm.

The HiPhi Z features a hybrid steel-aluminum construction as well as the "world's first wrap-around Star-Ring ISD light curtain," a series of over 4,000 LEDs that "act with passengers, drivers, and the world around it." Automatic detection of people, keys, and other vehicles will result in a smart adjusted door opening in terms of both speed and angle, thanks to the embedded UWB sensors.

The company claims that it can hit 100 kmh from a standstill in 3.8 seconds and offer a range of over 700 km on a full charge. The ride is smooth and responsive thanks to the double wishbone front and five-link rear suspension. The Hummer EV's rear wheels can turn as well and shorten the vehicle's turning radius to that of a mini Cooper.

The company's PR believes that the interior is similar to a Jetsons episode. The HiPhi Bot is an on-board artificial intelligence companion that can adjust virtually every aspect of the driving experience. Like HAL did. The racing bucket seats are covered in vegan Ultrasuede, the sound system has 23 speakers, and the occupants can dictate their preferences for not just lighting, touch, and sound, but even

For as fanciful as this vehicle's loadout appears, Human Horizons is actually going to bring them to the Chinese market. The CEO and chairman of HiPhi said in Wednesday's release that the HiPhi Z is a testament to the company's dedication to technological advancement. The HiPhi Z has retained more than 85% of its production intents.

The retail price for the HiPhi Z is expected to be around $129,000 US. The official roll out dates will be announced at the Chengdu auto show.
