GUANGZHOU, China, April 25, 2026 -- Pony AI Inc. (“Pony.ai” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PONY; HKEX: 2026), a global leader in achieving large-scale mass production and commercialization of autonomous driving technology, today announced its upgraded domain controller for Level 4 (“L4”) autonomous driving, a high-performance compute system designed for both Pony.ai’s L4 autonomous driving platform and a broader set of customer applications across autonomous mobility. Developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, the new controller is built on the NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion platform and powered by NVIDIA DRIVE AGX Thor with NVIDIA NVLink. This will accelerate technology iteration to further support large-scale commercial deployment for L4 autonomous driving.

The new system is designed to deliver significant gains in AI computing performance, energy efficiency and support for the latest AI models, while meeting core L4 requirements such as multi-sensor fusion, full-scenario perception and high-complexity scenario understanding. It is also engineered to further enhance safety redundancy, system robustness and deployment flexibility.

Pony.ai expects the new platform to support a portfolio spanning multiple compute tiers and cooling solutions, enabling deployment across a wide range of autonomous applications. With flexible single-chip and multi-chip configurations, the platform will incorporate NVIDIA NVLink to enable high-speed, low-latency communication between the two DRIVE Thor system-on-a-chips (“SoCs”), achieving a combined maximum computing performance of 4000 FP4 TFLOPS.

Pony.ai has been a long-standing NVIDIA partner since 2017. The Company launched its proprietary automotive-grade computing units powered by single or multiple NVIDIA DRIVE Orin chips in 2022, and later scaled to the world’s first L4 domain controller featuring four DRIVE Orin X chips for its mass-produced seventh-generation Robotaxi in 2025.

Over the past year, Pony.ai has seen growing demand for its automotive-grade domain controllers across low-speed delivery, robosweeping, logistics, mining, autonomous shuttles and other robotics and intelligent mobility applications. Cumulative shipments of its “Fangzai” domain controller shipments in 2025 surged by more than 500% year over year. Customers are spread across dozens of countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Japan, and Switzerland.

Building on this track record, both companies elevate their partnership by jointly developing an upgraded L4 autonomous driving domain controller based on NVIDIA DRIVE Hyperion and DRIVE AGX Thor to support advanced L4 autonomous driving applications.
