Infineon Technologies AG and Lenovo have announced an intensification of their collaboration aimed at advancing autonomous driving technologies. The partnership focuses on integrating Infineon’s AURIX family of microcontrollers into Lenovo’s flagship autonomous driving domain controller units, the AD1 and AH1. These units are designed to support advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS), improve energy efficiency, and facilitate high-speed data exchange within in-vehicle networks.
The collaboration centers on the development of high-performance automotive computing platforms that support the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in software-defined vehicles (SDVs). This joint solution provides a scalable foundation for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to develop connected and smart vehicles. The architecture is engineered to support a range of autonomy, spanning from Level 2 partial automation and Level 3 conditional automation to Level 4 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.”
The initiative is intended to accelerate the transition toward SDV architectures by offering faster development cycles and increased flexibility. Beyond the primary hardware integration, Infineon and Lenovo plan to engage with additional partners across the automotive value chain, including those specializing in system integration, software, and tools.
“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.”
Both companies have expressed a commitment to expanding this collaboration in the future, aiming to merge advanced hardware platforms with intelligent software to support the evolution of automated and sustainable mobility.
