Lenovo, the worldwide know-how powerhouse, has joined forces with autonomous driving pioneer Nuro to speed up the event and deployment of an autonomous driving go-to-market technique. This collaboration combines Lenovo’s superior computing applied sciences and AI capabilities with the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform and the Nuro Driver™ autonomous driving system, facilitating innovation within the autonomous automobile trade and delivering distinctive computational energy for a strong end-to-end resolution.
Lenovo in Autonomous Driving：Constructing a better future for AI-defined automobile computing
Lenovo is leveraging its cutting-edge know-how in large-scale computing and AI to guide the rising subject of autonomous driving. Because the automotive trade shifts to centralized digital architectures, automobile computing is changing into the following main AI frontier, fueled by new autonomous driving algorithms and built-in in-vehicle experiences. With its strengths in heterogeneous computing and AI optimization, Lenovo is working with NVIDIA to ship highly effective platforms that supply top-tier AI efficiency, meet stringent security requirements, and set new benchmarks for automotive reliability – shaping the way forward for good, AI-driven mobility.
Bringing collectively the strengths of each firms to speed up the productization of self-driving know-how.
Lenovo has developed a complete suite of autonomous driving merchandise and options below the Lenovo Automobile Computing division of Rising Know-how Group. Particularly, the Lenovo area controller AD1, is constructed on the NVIDIA DRIVE AGX platform, that includes the DRIVE AGX Thor system-on-a-chip (SoC) operating the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS working system, stands out as a significant technological development. It options NVIDIA Blackwell structure, designed for transformer and generative AI workloads. AD1 is a strong, automotive-grade area controller tailor-made for SAE Stage 4 autonomous driving and is ready to be the primary to roll off the manufacturing line. With a powerful AI computing energy of two,000 TFLOPS@FP8/INT8 (twin NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor SoC configuration) and data-center-level CPU efficiency, AD1 introduces main know-how that elevates the requirements of the autonomous driving trade.
The AD1 was designed to adjust to ISO 26262 with as much as ASIL D functionality, and its cybersecurity commonplace complies with ISO 21434, complemented by a various vary of sensor interfaces. AD1 helps the go-to-market of driverless industrial automobiles, together with robotaxis, robotrucks, robobus’, and supply automobiles.
As a pioneer in autonomous driving, Nuro has spent over eight years growing the world’s most scalable AI driver and 4 years optimizing it via driverless deployments. The corporate’s self-driving system, Nuro Driver, combines AI-driven software program with sturdy automotive-grade sensors and computing {hardware}, making a complete resolution now obtainable to automotive producers, suppliers, and mobility suppliers. What units Nuro Driver aside is its AI-first software program structure, enabling fast adaptation to new environments, features, and automobile varieties—considerably decreasing deployment timelines. This progressive method to autonomous know-how aligns with Lenovo’s AI capabilities, making this collaboration a pure match to speed up the rollout of autonomous automobiles.
Important alternative for built-in innovation
Donny Tang, Vice President and Head of Automobile Computing, Lenovo, emphasised the importance of the partnership: “The computing and automotive industries have been researching and growing applied sciences that imitate human considering and decision-making to help and/or exchange human drivers. As a pacesetter in ICT, Lenovo Automobile Computing is thrilled to collaborate with Nuro. Collectively, we intention to create a extra cohesive and seamless good driving expertise, fostering a transformative shift in transportation modes.”
Matt Renna, Vice President of Engineering for Automobile Platform and {Hardware} at Nuro, echoed these sentiments: “Nuro is constructing the world’s most scalable AI Driver, and we require computing know-how that aligns with this formidable scope. Working with an trade chief like Lenovo permits us to broaden our technological capabilities, bringing us nearer to our aim of constructing autonomy accessible to everybody.”
Ali Kani, Vice President of Automotive at NVIDIA, added, “Harnessing the ability of NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor together with the safety-certified NVIDIA DriveOS, Nuro and Lenovo are poised to ship superior L4 autonomous automobiles that prioritize security, reliability and comfort. This collaboration will assist form the way forward for secure autonomy via clever, AI-first transportation options throughout a broad vary of mobility purposes.”
Reinforcing the aim to a better AI future in automotive
Lenovo and Nuro’s collaboration comes at a pivotal second within the evolving autonomous automobile market. As autonomous driving applied sciences close to full deployment, the partnership will speed up the event and commercialization of safer, extra environment friendly autonomous automobiles. By combining Lenovo’s computing energy with Nuro’s experience, the businesses intention to revolutionize industrial automobiles and good mobility options, enhancing productiveness and redefining the transportation expertise. This collaboration reinforces Lenovo’s dedication to a future powered by “Smarter AI for All”.
