NANJING, China – October 27, 2025 – AutoCore today announced the launch of its production-ready L4 autonomous driving product series designed for a wide range of scenarios including ports, mining, industrial parks, factories, logistics, and AGVs. The new product line includes ADrive.Port, ADrive.Mine, ADrive.Park, ADrive.Logistics, and ADrive.AGV.
The ADrive series provides a fully open-source application software layer, ensuring customers have full ownership and control over their core business logic and algorithms. By systematically solving the performance and reliability bottlenecks inherent in traditional ROS 2 architectures for large-scale deployment, ADrive reduces core data transmission latency to as low as 6-8 microseconds (μs). This successfully elevates the system from a "lab-grade" prototype to an "industrial-grade" standard capable of 7x24 stable operation. The ADrive series is composed of the underlying software platform, AutoCore.OS, and a comprehensive algorithm layer, offering industrial-grade enhancements while maintaining the flexibility of an open-source ecosystem.
Traditional ROS 2-based deployments in complex scenarios such as ports, mines, and logistics often face significant performance and reliability challenges: data transmission jitter can reach as high as 100-200ms, leading to poor sensor fusion performance; high frame drop rates in dusty environments compromise system reliability; and massive redevelopment workloads are required for hardware adaptation. Furthermore, these systems typically suffer from a lack of unified health monitoring and a clear path to functional safety compliance.
System Composition:
1. AutoCore.OS: A software platform engineered for deployment in the most demanding scenarios, providing low-latency, low-jitter data channels, robust Quality of Service (QoS) policies, and a comprehensive health management framework to support 7x24 stable operation.
2. Algorithm Layer: A ROS 2-based algorithm stack, deeply adapted and optimized to run on AutoCore.OS. It covers core modules such as perception, localization, fusion, planning, and control. It provides standardized interfaces to the AutoCore.OS communication enhancement layer, health management, and UDS/SOVD, meeting the high-reliability production requirements for scenarios like ports, mines, industrial parks, factories, and logistics.
ADrive achieves a revolutionary reconstruction of the data link through its innovative three-layer communication enhancement architecture:
1. On-board transmission latency for large data volumes, such as point clouds and images, is reduced to as low as 6-8μs, completely eliminating transmission bottlenecks.
2. It comprehensively surpasses standard ROS 2 in stability, Quality of Service (QoS), and performance.
3. It efficiently handles the transmission of large-scale small data packets, perfectly adapting to a wide variety of service requirements.
Another core feature of the ADrive product is its powerful health management hub. Featuring a built-in, multi-level keep-alive engine, it enables fault self-healing at the node level (recovery within 300ms), service level (restoration within 1 second), and system level (anti-crash), while seamlessly integrating with in-vehicle UDS diagnostic standards. Concurrently, ADrive offers 15-minute OTA updates, SOVD remote diagnostics, one-click deployment scripts that improve efficiency by 90%, and an innovative hardware abstraction layer that makes mainstream hardware like Orin, TDA4VH, and Horizon J6 "plug-and-play," with pre-integrated drivers for mainstream sensors.
"The essence of ADrive is to respect and empower both the scenario and the customer, perfectly merging the open-source world with a scalable, production-ready system to become a key enabler for productization and industrialization," emphasized the ADrive Product Lead. "We have preserved the open, flexible core of the open-source ecosystem while building an industrial-grade, high-performance, and high-reliability end-to-end system. This truly solves the most difficult 'last mile' problem of autonomous driving commercialization: transforming uncertain performance into deterministic reliability."
The ADrive product line stems from long-term, in-depth practice across various scenarios, focusing on solving real-world, end-to-end challenges to empower equipment suppliers, system developers, and operators. AutoCore is committed to working with industry developers to jointly promote the large-scale productization of the open-source autonomous driving industry. Currently, ADrive has been successfully deployed in projects across China, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Japan, and other countries and regions.
