QCraft's single-chip 128TOPS city NOA enters production

QCraft's city NOA system, based on a single Horizon Journey 6M chip, has entered production, debuting on Li Auto's AD Pro-equipped L Series vehicles, said the Chinese autonomous driving solution provider on Wednesday.

The move marks the first commercial deployment of a single Journey chip city NOA, bringing high-level urban driver-assistance closer to everyday family use.

Co-developed with Li Auto, the system leverages 128TOPS of processing power to deliver advanced urban autonomous driving, with continuous algorithm updates and all-weather perception.

QCraft co-founder and CEO Yu Qian said, "We were the first to prove that a single chip can run city NOA efficiently. The 128TOPS system delivers reliable, high-performance assistance in complex urban scenarios, giving family users a safe and seamless experience."

Built on QCraft's safety-first end-to-end model, the system covers everyday roads, including highways, arterial streets, and rural routes, handling junctions, turns, and pedestrian interactions while maintaining smooth and predictable driving.

Integrated with the vehicle HMI, it makes decision logic transparent, reducing the "black-box" concerns typical of end-to-end systems.

The launch demonstrates QCraft's mass-production and software-hardware optimization capabilities.

The company expects the single-chip Journey 6M solution to expand rapidly in 2026, making advanced urban NOA accessible to more vehicles and accelerating adoption of advanced urban driver-assistance systems.
