Pony AI Inc. announced its new generation autonomous driving domain controller, a high-performance compute system designed for Pony AI’s L4 autonomous driving platform and for a broader set of customer applications across autonomous mobility. The company said the controller is intended to support its next phase of commercialization in robotaxi services and its growing domain controller business.
Pony AI said the controller was developed in collaboration with NVIDIA. It is built on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform and powered by NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor with NVLink. The system is engineered to meet core L4 requirements including multi-sensor fusion, full-scenario perception, and high-complexity scenario understanding.
Pony AI said the controller is designed to deliver gains in AI computing performance and energy efficiency, while supporting the latest AI models. The company also stated that the design enhances safety redundancy, system robustness, and deployment flexibility.
According to Pony AI, the platform is expected to support a portfolio spanning multiple compute tiers and cooling solutions, enabling deployment across a range of autonomous applications. The company said flexible single-chip and multi-chip configurations are planned, with NVLink enabling high-speed, low-latency communication between two DRIVE Thor SoCs. Pony AI stated that this configuration can achieve a combined maximum computing performance of 4000 FP4 TFLOPS.
Pony AI said it sees growing demand for automotive-grade domain controllers across low-speed delivery, robo-sweeping, logistics, mining, autonomous shuttles, and other robotics and intelligent mobility applications.
The company also said it aims to expand its robotaxi fleet and geographic footprint by 2026.
Pony AI described itself as a global leader in large-scale commercialization of autonomous mobility, leveraging its vehicle-agnostic Virtual Driver technology and a full-stack autonomous driving platform. Founded in 2016, the company said it has expanded its presence across China, Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East.
Premium gym chains are entering a “golden era” that is ending or already in decline, as rising operating costs collide with shifting consumer preferences toward more flexible, community-based ways to exercise. Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
