Munich, Germany – Infineon Technologies AG, the world leader in power systems and automotive microcontrollers (MCUs), and Lenovo, a global technology powerhouse, are intensifying their collaboration to accelerate the next level of autonomous driving. Lenovo’s flagship autonomous driving domain controller units AD1 and AH1 will take advantage of Infineon’s AURIX™ family of microcontrollers to support advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), energy efficiency and high-speed data exchange across in-vehicle networks. The collaboration aims at enabling intelligent, high-performance automotive computing platforms that power AI integration in software-defined vehicles (SDVs). The joint solution builds a scalable foundation for OEMs to develop connected, safe, and smart vehicles, supporting autonomy levels from L2 Partial automation, L3 Conditional automation to L4 High automation.
“As the world number one in automotive microcontrollers, the AURIX product family of Infineon plays a crucial role in enabling safe and secured computing in the era of software-defined vehicles,” said Thomas Böhm, Senior Vice President and Head of the Automotive Microcontroller Business Line at Infineon. “By working closely with partners such as Lenovo, we combine robust, safety-critical computing with scalable software architectures, empowering OEMs to accelerate their SDV strategies and advance smart mobility.”
“Our collaboration with Infineon is a key embodiment of Lenovo’s ‘Smarter Technology for All’ strategy deeply integrated into the realm of intelligent vehicles,” said Tang Xinyue (Donny Tang), Vice President of Lenovo Group and Head of Lenovo Vehicle Computing. “Infineon’s leading semiconductor solutions provide a solid and reliable foundation for our computing platforms. Built on years of trusted collaborations and synergies, we are committed to deepening the integration of AI with real-world driving scenarios, jointly creating more dependable experiences for our customers.”
The joint solution is designed to accelerate the transition towards software-defined vehicle architectures by enabling faster development cycles, greater flexibility, and enhanced dependability. Infineon and Lenovo will work closely with more partners across the automotive value chain – reinforcing ecosystem partnerships in areas such as system integration, services, software and tools. Both companies are committed to expand their collaboration in the future, by combining advanced hardware platforms with intelligent software integration to enable a new era of connected, automated and sustainable mobility.
