Refresh super brain Weilai 2024 upgraded central computing platform.
ADAM, Weilai Central Computing Platform: Digital Base of Smart Car
The E/E (electronic and electrical) architecture of Weilai’s second-generation platform model was upgraded from the cabin-driving separated domain control architecture to the centralized integration architecture of intelligent computing modules-the Central Computing Cluster (CCC). ADAM, the central computing platform of Weilai, can transfer the past functions in different domains (such as intelligent cabin and intelligent driving) to a centralized computing platform, greatly reducing the number of controllers, and the overall E/E architecture is flatter, making the OTA implementation of the whole vehicle easier and more friendly, and flexibly deploying and upgrading new functions, while meeting the multi-level requirements of high-performance computing and high-functional security. Central computing platform is the ultimate architecture of "software-defined car" and the digital base of smart car software ecology.
The data transmission rate of the industry’s highest integration is increased by 10 times.
ADAM, the central computing platform, has 12,000+ integrated devices, which overcomes the technical problems such as PI/SI, EMC and Thermal brought by high integration. Compared with the separate cabin controller, the volume is reduced by 40% and the weight is reduced by 20%. Through ADAM, the central computing platform of Weilai, there is no need to encode and decode between different domains in the car, which saves the chips, power supply, heat dissipation and wiring harness for encoding and decoding. Gigabit Ethernet is directly replaced by etched circuits on the circuit board, and the cross-domain data bandwidth between the intelligent driver and the cockpit is greatly increased from Gigabit to 16Gbps, achieving a transmission rate increase of more than 10 times.
System-level innovation, the first cross-domain computing power sharing in the industry
ADAM, the central computing platform of Weilai, realizes the maximum 256TOPS computing power sharing of intelligent driving, intelligent cabin and vehicle control through system-level innovation. For example, in-vehicle occupant identification belongs to the intelligent cockpit chip task, but the intelligent driving chip NVIDIA Orin X is better at AI calculation and image processing, so the central computing platform can use Orin X chip to handle the occupant identification task, thus improving the task operation efficiency and leaving the cockpit chip computing power to the better task.
Cross-domain computing power sharing can more reasonably allocate various computing power requirements, such as the end-to-end deployment of multi-mode large models, make the best use of everything, optimize the efficiency of CPU/GPU/NPU, and give full play to ADAM’s super computing power.
A good horse is equipped with a saddle, and ADAM is equipped with the operating system (SkyOS), so that the tasks of all domains in the car can be efficiently coordinated under the operating system; Greatly improve development efficiency, accelerate software iteration and improve user experience.
Deep forward self-developed world-class software and hardware architecture
The development trend of electronic and electrical architecture of smart cars is from distributed architecture, domain control architecture to centralized central computing platform architecture. CDC+ADC domain control architecture is the form adopted by most brands in the industry at present. Weilai’s second-generation technology platform model leads the industry in adopting ADAM, a central computing platform with cabin driving integration.
From the first day, Weilai insisted on positive research and development on intelligent hardware. From the research and development of vehicle-mounted high-performance domain controllers, sensors, human-computer interaction hardware and chips, Weilai has the world-class architectural capabilities, making the centralized central computing platform layout lead the industry and iterate.
Weilai 2024 brand-new central computing platform ADAM
Refresh the car industry in super brain
The performance of ADAM, the central computing platform for all models of Weilai 2024, has been further improved, and the mass production computing power has once again refreshed the ceiling of the industry, integrating one latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 intelligent cockpit chip and four NVIDIA Orin X intelligent driving chips. Compared with the previous generation 8155, Qualcomm Snapdragon 8295 chip has about 2 times higher CPU power, 3 times higher GPU power and 8 times higher AI power. Four NVIDIA Orin X chips, 48 CPU cores, 256 matrix arithmetic units, and 8096 floating-point arithmetic units, totaling 68 billion transistors, will finally reach 1016TOPS, which will remain the ceiling of automobile intelligent driving calculation for at least the next year.
NOMI GPT: the smartest nomi ever
Through the central computing platform ADAM cross-domain computing power sharing, NOMI GPT, a large model that is innovative for car use will be released soon.
The industry’s first multi-modal sensing model with pure end-to-end deployment.
NOMI GPT will be the industry’s first multi-modal perception model with pure end-side deployment. NOMI can identify thousands of items through the camera in the car, without networking, with ultra-fast response and safer privacy data.
NOMI GPT with "heart-to-heart" users.
Knowing the car and your NOMI GPT will go beyond the popular question and answer and information retrieval, so that the "feeling" behind the language emerges from the text, and the car has never been so free. For example, when you want a lighting atmosphere in the car, you don’t need to know the color name, just say what you want to feel, and NOMI will understand you immediately.
* More NOMI GPT functions will be carried in the official upgrade version.
Intelligent driving: the fastest evolving intelligent driving system in the industry
Thanks to the powerful computing power of ADAM, the central computing platform, and based on the leading NAD architecture, the capacity of Weilai swarm intelligence system has advanced by leaps and bounds, and the verified mileage of urban roads has increased by 100 times in five months, with a total amount exceeding 650,000 kilometers.
The total mileage of intelligent driving is 1.01 million kilometers, ranking first in the country.
By the end of January, the available mileage of Weilai’s global navigation assistance has exceeded 1.01 million kilometers, including national highways, elevated roads and urban roads, of which the verified mileage of urban roads has exceeded 650,000 kilometers.
Distributed in 606 cities, swarm intelligence has evolved rapidly.
The mileage of intelligent driving is distributed in 606 cities across the country, and the urban trunk roads cover more than 90%, covering 99% of users of Banyan intelligent system. In the 34 first-class administrative regions of China, except Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province, the mileage of urban areas assisted by global navigation has begun to spread all over. In areas with a large number of users, such as Shanghai, the coverage rate of urban trunk roads is as high as 99.2%, which is close to full coverage.
Zhijia, the largest city in China with the largest number of users, was fully opened in the second quarter.
In February of this year, Weilai launched the first round of 1000-person global navigation to assist NOP+ users to pilot. Next, we will continue to launch a new round of navigation, and plan to open the global NOP+ urban regional navigation assistance function to all users of the Banyan intelligent system in the second quarter, which will also be the largest user-scale intelligent driving upgrade push in China. In the early pilot users, the global pilot-assisted high-speed scene realized a single zero takeover with a maximum of 671 kilometers under the blessing of pilot power exchange.
