QCraft Scales Autonomous Driving to 1M+ Vehicles with New NOA Solution
Summarize this article with:
QCraft has scaled its autonomous driving capabilities to over 1 million vehicles, marking a major leap forward in the industry. At QCraft Day 2026 in Beijing on January 23, 2026, the company announced the large-scale mass production and delivery of its next-generation, 500+ TOPS autonomous driving solution and its one-chip end-to-end Urban Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) system. This breakthrough solution, debuting on Li Auto’s 2025 models, is poised to redefine high-efficiency Urban NOA and signals a critical phase of expansion with over 50 new models expected to integrate the system this year. “QCraft has crossed the mass production quagmire through strategic focus and a pragmatic, non-aggressive style,” said Dr. James Yu, Co-founder, Chairman and CEO of QCraft, as the company enters what he calls the beginning of a “Golden Decade” for superhuman intelligence. QCraft Scales NOA to 1 Million+ Vehicles via OEM Partnerships QCraft unveiled a next-generation autonomous driving solution boasting over 500 TOPS of computing power at QCraft Day 2026 in Beijing, alongside a significant milestone in deployment—exceeding 1 million vehicles equipped with its technology. The company’s QPilot intelligent driving system is currently integrated into 23 models across nearly 10 original equipment manufacturers, including Li Auto, GAC Group, and Chery, demonstrating rapid market penetration. A further 50 new vehicle models are slated to incorporate the system in 2026, solidifying QCraft’s position in the competitive mass production landscape. This expansion is underpinned by QCraft’s ‘one-piece’ end-to-end Urban Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) solution, now in large-scale production utilizing a single Horizon Robotics Journey™ 6M chip and debuting on Li Auto’s 2025 Pro series. The company is also venturing into unmanned logistics through a partnership with Chery Commercial Vehicle, signaling a broadening of its autonomous capabilities. Horizon Journey™ 6M Enables One-Chip Urban NOA Mass Production This marks a significant advancement, debuting initially on the Li Auto 2025 L6 Pro, L7 Pro, L8 Pro, and L9 Pro models, and establishing a new standard for efficient Urban NOA systems. The company is actively pursuing “inclusive autonomous driving by lowering the barriers to widespread adoption,” according to company statements. The one-chip solution represents a key milestone in QCraft’s development, enabling a streamlined and potentially more cost-effective approach to autonomous navigation. Dr. James Yu posits that 2026 “marks the beginning of a Golden Decade and the inaugural year of Superhuman Intelligence,” with expectations that NOA intervention rates will drop to “monthly” intervals. Furthermore, the company anticipates dedicated autonomous driving insurance premiums being “50% lower than human-driven ones.” 2026 Global Strategy: Expansion into Logistics and New Markets QCraft unveiled ambitious 2026 plans at QCraft Day in Beijing, extending beyond passenger vehicles into the unmanned logistics sector through a strategic partnership with Chery Commercial Vehicle. This move signifies a broadening of the company’s autonomous driving applications, aiming to develop comprehensive autonomous logistics solutions. The company’s strategy focuses on optimizing cost-performance, ensuring all-domain safety—validated by over 1 million mass-production units—and providing comprehensive, lifecycle service. QCraft is also establishing a global footprint, building upon existing offices in locations including Silicon Valley and Munich, with planned expansion into European, Asian, and Middle Eastern markets. The QCraft Robo-X platform, described as an Android-like ecosystem for autonomous vehicles, promises a universal technical foundation and a complete operation toolchain, furthering the company’s capabilities. QCraft highlights its cross-platform compatibility—supporting NVIDIA, Qualcomm, and Horizon—and international certifications as key advantages in the global market. QCraft has crossed the mass production quagmire through strategic focus and a pragmatic, non-aggressive style.Dr.
