Li Auto plans to manufacture electric vehicles featuring advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving functions, utilizing Nvidia’s next-generation automotive-grade computer chips, DRIVE Thor. This move marks an expansion of the Chinese automaker’s collaboration with the U.S. chipmaker to address the increasing demand for assisted driving systems. Unveiled in September 2022 and slated for production in early 2025, the DRIVE Thor is a centralized car computer boasting up to 2,000 TOPS of performance. It enables automakers to integrate various intelligent functions into a single artificial intelligence compute platform, resulting in significantly lower development costs, reduced weight, and fewer cables. Chinese EV giants, from BYD to Great Wall Motor, have incorporated partially automated driving functions into their current models using Nvidia’s DRIVE Orin platform, providing 254 TOPS of performance. Furthermore, Geely’s premium EV brand Zeekr is poised to become the inaugural customer for Thor, as indicated in a release dated Sept. 20, 2022, by Nvidia. [Nvidia release]
