Vehicle OS and HPC-ThunderSoft

Currently, the EE architecture of intelligent vehicles is undergoing rapid transformation. It is shifting from traditional distributed development to domain-integrated, and further progressing towards central computing architecture. Central computing requires an operating system that can support both the strong real-time, high reliability, and high functional safety demanded by intelligent driving, as well as the multi-modal human-machine interaction and rich application ecosystem required by intelligent cockpit. This introduces unprecedented complexity and challenges to the foundational software of intelligent vehicles. Developing a new generation of whole-vehicle operating systems that can support central computing has become crucial.

Recently, chip manufacturers such as Qualcomm and NVIDIA have announced the launch of high-computing power chips that support central computing and cockpit integration. This provides a solid foundation for realizing the central computing architecture.

In response to the requirements of the new generation of whole-vehicle operating systems, ThunderSoft is integrating its comprehensive OS products and technological advantages from cockpit to driving. It is heavily investing in the research and development of whole-vehicle operating systems and cockpit-integrated high-performance computing (HPC) products. The company is committed to creating a globally-oriented, neutral, highly reliable, and ecologically rich whole-vehicle operating system. This includes virtualization and containerization, real-time middleware, full-stack SOA middleware, 3D UI engines, vehicle-cloud integration, and efficient and user-friendly development and testing toolchains. The company is also deeply optimizing for the new generation of high-computing power chips for cockpit integration, assisting automakers in building central computing architecture. Simultaneously, the company offers the ThunderHPC domain controller, which combines “Intelligent Cockpit + Intelligent Driving + Intelligent Parking,” enhancing its competitiveness in the era of central computing.

Vehicle operating system-Drip Lake OS

Drip Lake OS, designed for the new generation of intelligent vehicles with central computing architecture, offers a complete operating system foundation that spans virtualization, middleware, large model engines, application frameworks, to toolchains. It enables cross-chip heterogeneous platforms, high functionality/information security, and features that are easy to deploy and scalable. Additionally, by integrating AI large models, it provides a novel experience in natural interaction, dynamic generation, context awareness, and service orchestration.

Drip Lake OS 1.0

Drip Lake OS 1.0 has successfully operated in a single SOC cockpit-integrated hardware environment, supporting a through-type 8K resolution long screen to display a full-scene, immersive, all-3D interface. It supports cockpit functions such as 360-degree surround view, driver monitoring, and device connectivity, while also supporting automatic parking, L2++ high-speed, and urban area intelligent driving functions.
