GUANGZHOU, China - WeRide (NASDAQ:WRD) unveiled its HPC 3.0 high-performance computing platform on Monday, developed in partnership with Lenovo (HKSE:0992), the $16.1 billion technology giant with 21.5% revenue growth in the last twelve months, and powered by NVIDIA’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) DRIVE AGX Thor chips. According to InvestingPro data, Lenovo maintains a strong financial health score of 2.69, rated as "GOOD" by analysts.
The platform makes its debut in WeRide’s latest Robotaxi GXR, which the company describes as the first mass-produced Level 4 autonomous vehicle built on NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor. According to the company’s statement, the new automotive-grade platform reduces autonomous driving suite costs by 50%.
The HPC 3.0 features a dual NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor configuration running on Lenovo’s AD1 L4 autonomous driving domain controller, delivering up to 2,000 TOPS of AI compute power.
WeRide claims the new platform cuts mass production costs to a quarter of its predecessor and reduces the total cost of ownership by 84% over its lifecycle. The system consolidates key modules including Ethernet gateway, CAN gateway, inertial navigation, and collision detection.
The platform is certified to AEC-Q100, ISO 26262, and IATF 16949 standards, with a redundant design architecture meeting ASIL-D safety requirements. It is designed to operate in temperatures from -40°C to 85°C and is built for 10 years or 300,000 km of use.
"Our close collaboration with Lenovo and NVIDIA represents a major breakthrough in computing power, system architecture, and cost efficiency," said Tony Han, Founder and CEO of WeRide, in the press release.
WeRide, which went public as a Robotaxi company, reports it has safely operated autonomous taxis on public roads for over 2,000 days. The company states its autonomous vehicles have been tested or operated in over 30 cities across 10 countries. The partnership with Lenovo, which generated $69.1 billion in revenue over the last twelve months, adds significant credibility to WeRide’s autonomous driving initiative.
