WeRide announced an expanded partnership with Lenovo to deploy up to 200,000 autonomous vehicles globally over the next five years, aiming to accelerate Level 4 self-driving commercialization starting in 2026, including robotaxis.
The collaboration builds on their HPC 3.0 platform, first used in the WeRide Robotaxi GXR, powered by Lenovo’s L4 AD1 domain controller and NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor, delivering over 2,000 TOPS of AI computing. The system is expected to cut autonomous driving kit costs by 50% and total cost of ownership by 84% versus the previous generation.
WeRide, already operating in 40+ cities across 12 countries, will leverage Lenovo’s global manufacturing and supply chain to scale deployment. The companies also plan to expand into autonomous minibuses and sanitation vehicles, emphasizing a shift in the industry toward cost efficiency and scalable rollout.
