Lenovo and NVIDIA Collaborate to Propel AI-Driven Autonomous Vehicles
In Brief
Lenovo has unveiled a trio of innovative products designed to harness NVIDIA's advanced vehicle technology, aiming to enhance safety and intelligence in driving.
During its yearly global innovation showcase, known as Tech World, the Chinese technology titan Lenovo revealed three cutting-edge products that intend to utilize NVIDIA's smart vehicle technology, aiming for a safer and more intelligent driving experience. Lenovo emphasizes that this collaboration will merge its computing expertise with NVIDIA’s AI expertise .
the mission is to empower autonomous vehicles through AI, making this technology accessible across various environments.
Lenovo’s Chairman & CEO, Yuanqing Yan, along with NVIDIA’s founder and CEO, Jensen Huang, introduced an exciting roadmap for vehicle computing. The three products – XH1, AH1, and AD1 – are set to play crucial roles in refining autonomous vehicle systems and intelligent cockpits.
XH1 : Positioned as the central computing unit , it is leading the charge in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and innovative cockpit technologies.
AH1 : This unit serves as a Level 2++ ADAS domain controller, incorporating advanced features to enhance safety and vehicle handling.
AD1 : A groundbreaking Level 4 autonomous driving domain controller unit, heralding a new age of intelligent and secure self-driving.
Lenovo’s Vehicle Virtual Assistant ‘DRIVE Thor’
As the event progressed, the company presented an intelligent assistant virtual assistant , embedded within the XH1 central computing unit. Utilizing an automotive foundation model, this virtual assistant exceeds typical expectations by recognizing driver and passenger preferences, anticipating needs, and responding in a lifelike manner.
"The swift advancements in AI, particularly with foundational models, will significantly enhance automotive intelligence. In the future, autonomous vehicles will be safer, and smart cockpits will evolve further. Cars will transform from mere transport means into intelligent companions,\" explained Lenovo’s VP and head of vehicle computing, Donny Tang.
At the heart of Lenovo’s vehicle computing strategy is the NVIDIA DRIVE Thor system-on-a-chip.
According to Lenovo representatives, this powerful computing engine will merge AI capabilities with NVIDIA’s Grace CPUs and GPUs based on the Hopper and Ada Lovelace architectures. It is expected to deliver up to 2,000 teraflops of processing power, establishing a new benchmark for secure and intelligent driving.
Since Lenovo announced its entry into the automotive industry earlier this year, the company has garnered significant attention. The partnership with NVIDIA positions Lenovo prominently in this space, as it integrates its core computing capabilities with NVIDIA’s strengths in AI hardware and software.
"As the automotive industry shifts towards software-defined architectures, the need for a high-performance computing engine capable of handling AI workloads for safe vehicle operations becomes crucial. DRIVE Thor is equipped with the necessary capacity to continuously support advanced intelligent driving features, including ADAS, autonomous driving, and smart cockpit technology,\" stated Ali Kani, NVIDIA’s automotive VP.
Leveraging its technical expertise in cloud, edge computing, AI, devices, and networking, Lenovo aims to enhance its automotive operational systems and intelligent solutions.
