The AD1 has a computing power of 2100 TOPS (tera operations per second) at FP8/INT8 precision, with a CPU performance of 174 SPECrate 2017. It meets safety standards, including ASIL-D under ISO 26262, and complies with ISO 21434 cybersecurity standards, according to Lenovo.
The domain controller is also equipped with various sensor interfaces and will be used for commercial autonomous driving applications such as robotaxi, robotruck, robobus and robosweeper.
By leveraging the capabilities of Nvidia’s Drive Thor, including FP4 and FP8 operations, which enhance AI inference efficiency and maintain precision comparable to FP16, the controller aims to increase the inference speed of Transformer models.
WeRide, an AD technology company, has selected Lenovo‘s domain control solution, based on Nvidia Drive, for its next-generation platform.
Lenovo plans to extend its domain controller solutions to the L3 and L2++ ADAS markets.
