Led by Li Auto and co-developed with QCraft, the solution targets urban mobility scenarios, delivering city NOA capabilities on 128 TOPS of computing power. This makes QCraft the first autonomous driving company to achieve city NOA on a single Journey 6M chip and complete scaled mass deliveries.
The mass-produced solution is built on QCraft's proprietary safe end-to-end large model, covering major scenarios in daily urban commuting.
Leveraging this model, the system offers human-like defensive driving to ensure safety. In high-risk scenarios like unsignalized T-junctions and narrow roads with mixed traffic, it anticipates hazards, decelerates defensively, and maintains a safety buffer—providing full-process protection from driving to parking.
The solution operates on the philosophy that "it’s not about driving everywhere, but driving well where possible." Focusing on daily urban needs, it covers national highways, provincial roads, urban arterials, and rural lanes. It handles complex structures like forks, Y-junctions, and sharp turns, alongside routine tasks like left and right turns, balancing efficiency with ride comfort.
Qian Yu, co-founder, chairman, and CEO of QCraft, said the company was the first to identify that a single chip could handle city NOA. "The QCraft Journey 6M city NOA solution delivers a premium assisted driving experience using just 128 TOPS, achieving 'ultimate compute utilization,'" he said.
