Its functional safety level is up to the ASIL-D of ISO 26262, and the cybersecurity standard complies with ISO 21434, complemented by a diverse range of sensor interfaces. AD1 is an automotive-grade domain controller purposely built for commercial scenarios of SAE level 4 autonomous driving, emphasizing high computing power, safety, reliability, cost-effectiveness and minimal maintenance cost. AD1 paves the way for start of production of driverless commercial vehicles such as RoboTaxi, RoboTruck, RoboBus, and RoboSweeper.
AD1的人工智能計算能力高達2100 TOPS@FP8/INT8，其CPU計算能力（基於SPECrate 2017）達到174。其功能安全水平達到ISO 26262的ASIL-D級別，網絡安全標準符合ISO 21434，配備了多種傳感器接口。AD1是一款專爲SAE級別4的商用自動駕駛場景而打造的汽車級別域控制器，強調高計算能力、安全性、可靠性、成本效益和最小維護成本。AD1爲RoboTaxi、RoboTruck、RoboBus和RoboSweeper等無人駕駛商用車輛的生產啓示鋪平了道路。
As 2024 witnesses' significant advancements in worldwide autonomous driving technology, the adoption of Level 4 self-driving vehicles is approaching a pivotal moment for widespread implementation. The end-to-end large model technology in autonomous driving has stimulated the demand for high-performance computing. Lenovo's intelligent driving domain controller product line utilizes NVIDIA DRIVE Thor, incorporating FP4 and FP8 operations into AI inference. This ensures greater efficiency and maintains high precision (comparable to FP16), resulting in a fivefold increase in the inference speed of Transformer models. WeRide has chosen Lenovo's domain control scheme, which is based on NVIDIA DRIVE, for its next-generation autonomous driving technology platform.
隨着全球自動駕駛技術的重大進展，2024年將採用4級自動駕駛汽車迎來了實施的關鍵時刻。端到端的自動駕駛大模型技術刺激了高性能計算的需求。聯想的智能駕駛域控制器產品線採用NVIDIA DRIVE Thor，將FP4和FP8運算併入AI推理中。這確保了更高的效率，同時還能保持較高的精度（與FP16相當），使變壓器模型的推理速度提高了五倍。WeRide選擇了聯想的域控制方案，該方案基於NVIDIA DRIVE，用於其下一代自動駕駛技術平台。
In the future, Lenovo will offer its cost-effective domain controllers tailored for L3 & L2++ ADAS market, with various configurations to provide solutions for safer and more convenient ADAS features. Lenovo UltraBoost AI middleware is also compatible with the domain controllers, further enhancing computational efficiency, operator enhancement, and task scheduling.
未來，聯想將提供針對L3和L2++自適應駕駛輔助系統市場的成本效益型域控制器，以多種配置爲基礎，爲更安全、更便捷的ADAS功能提供解決方案。聯想的UltraBoost AI中間件也與域控制器兼容，進一步提高了計算效率、運營商增強和任務調度。
