The Human Horizons HiPhi Z Is Pure Science Fiction

[@Wheelsboy]

Hello! Glad you guys are enjoying the video, but wanted to make a point of clarification. I misspoke when I described the tires as “scrabbling for traction all the way up to 150 km/h.” A more accurate number is around 75 km/h. Sorry for that error!

[@rg0]

Saw one of these when I visited China last month - it's the only car I've seen in recent memory that I was truly stunned to see. Somehow, it already had a taillight out. Had no idea what it was until I got home and did some research.

[@钟诗仙]

[@wenwuye8131]

If you see this car in real life, you will definitely be even more excited because it is more stunning than any picture or video. I still remember how futuristic it looked the first time I saw it on the road.

[@123fourfive5]

I feel like alot of people would be wondering what kind of company would have the resources to not only start an independent car company, but also release high end hyper futuristic self driving EVs as their ONLY cars. 1. HiPhi is owned by Human Horizons, a Private company that manufactures cars under HiPhi and develops Autonomous driving technology. 2. The Founder of Human Horizons has an impressive resume. He worked for Volkswagen-China, was CEO of GM-China, was CEO of SAIC(He was the one who made moves to buy MG/Rover), served in state government(director of a Shanghai High Tech Park). 3. Human Horizons is working with Bosch Connected Mobility Solutions That's it. There's not alot of info on this young company but given enough time, growth and sales, they could very well be the most exciting EV maker in the world.

So you answered your own question from point #3. The guy is a soulless CCP who steals our designs and tech. Couple that with all the stolen money from the poor Chinese citizens then you have a company that’s got the resources to start independent car company with shitty angular design and self driving capabilities

[@TARS..]

Man the chinese market is full to the brim with cool new cars with lots of innovation. Such a shame they haven't broken the international market yet, I would buy this car in a heartbeat

[@fdjw88]

The fact is, they are presented on the international market. Based on your comment, you are probably someone who currently resides in North America. Because that's the region where Chinese cars are not presented.

[@TARS..]

@@fdjw88 I am not in North America nor a western country at all which is what's sad. Yes, I know that SOME chinese car manufacturers are international but not these brands I guarantee you. Only bigger brands like Geely, GAC and BYD are prevalent. The cool ones like HiPhi and NIO have not reached outside of China yet.

[@ericliu1463]

U know why they're not selling in the NA region, some ppl don't want them to come in and stir the market up so some manufacturers won't lose their competitiveness. The sad thing is consumers at the end have limited choices.

There are many brands of cars in China that have done very well, comparable to some of the earlier developed cars, cars made by the state. In China, those joint venture brand cars have been suppressed, and now the price of Chinese cars is very low. Many other brands of cars are now sold very cheaply in China, and some have even dropped by more than half. There are also subsidies from the state and 4S stores. It is very cheap to buy a car in China at present.
