The automotive-grade domain controller AD1, tailored for the L4 autonomous driving market, has successfully rolled off the production line for the first time at LCFC Factory. 

This milestone not only positions Lenovo as one of the first tier-1 automotive suppliers to successfully activate NVIDIA's DRIVE Thor platform but also marks LCFC Technology as a pioneer factory in achieving the production of NVIDIA DRIVE Thor chip-based products.

Successful Activation of AD1 Domain Controller

AD1 is an automotive-grade domain controller planned and designed to address the needs of L4 autonomous driving commercial application scenarios. It meets requirements such as high computing power, high security, high reliability, high cost-effectiveness, and low maintenance costs, paving the way for the large-scale mass production of autonomous commercial vehicles including autonomous taxis (Robotaxi), autonomous trucks (RoboTruck), autonomous minibuses (RoboBus), and autonomous sanitation vehicles (RoboSweeper).

The Automotive Electronics Business Team under LCFC Technology's Smart Device and Solution Business Group has been working to enhance its manufacturing capabilities for high-computing-power domain controllers in the vehicle computing field. The successful activation of AD1 this time lays a solid foundation for LCFC to undertake autonomous driving product projects in the future.

The project team worked in full collaboration

Looking back at the entire trial production process of AD1, the project team encountered numerous challenges. However, team members responded quickly and collaborated closely, constantly surpassing themselves amid difficulties.

Rooting down to accumulate experience while reaching up to break boundaries. The successful activation of AD1 this time not only helps Lenovo make further progress in the tier-1 automotive supplier sector but also highlights LCFC Technology’s outstanding manufacturing capabilities in the new autonomous driving track within the vehicle computing field. As the pace of autonomous driving technology’s commercial implementation accelerates, more demands for high-computing-power platforms are bound to emerge in the future, driving the unmanned driving field to achieve new breakthroughs and embrace new development!
