ADrive accelerates autonomous logistics vehicles deployment at scale

From Campus Warehouses to Docks: Bringing Driverless Delivery into Daily Transport Operations

NANJING, China – November 11, 2026 – Addressing acute logistics bottlenecks such as driver shortages, rising night-shift labor costs, fatigue-related safety risks, and mixed pedestrian-vehicle traffic, AutoCore has officially launched its full-stack ADrive Autonomous Logistics Solution (ADrive.Logistics) for enclosed and semi-enclosed roadways.

The solution integrates drive-by-wire chassis, autonomous compute platforms, multi-sensor perception suites, proprietary algorithms, and cloud fleet dispatching. It delivers deterministic, stable operations around the clock without disruptive infrastructure retrofits. Partners can configure complete vehicles for specific transport tasks, or retrofit existing drive-by-wire fleets with an autonomous driving kit, accelerating commercial-scale deployment of industrial logistics and autonomous delivery.

01 / Tangible ROI: 24/7 Uninterrupted Operations Reduce Material Transit Costs

In manufacturing and modern logistics parks, material supply lines often require two or three consecutive shifts. Employing transport drivers around the clock incurs steep labor premiums and high turnover, while driver fatigue during night shifts introduces persistent safety risks. AutoCore ADrive turns autonomous driving into clear, defensible operational economics:

• One Operator Monitors Multiple Vehicles via a Low-Latency Cockpit: Proven on-vehicle autonomy and cloud coordination eliminate the need for an onboard safety driver. A single operator can manage an entire fleet through the cloud dispatch dashboard, while a low-latency remote driving station lets the operator inspect the scene and assist in real time when unexpected complex situations require human intervention, significantly reducing long-term labor costs.
• Stable Around the Clock, with 24/7 Fault-Free Continuous Testing: Powered by the AutoCore.OS automotive operating system platform and its deterministic scheduling foundation, the vehicle uses LiDAR point-cloud and camera feature-level spatiotemporal fusion to precisely identify objects under low nighttime illumination, morning fog and light rain, and high-contrast lighting. Continuous, high-intensity testing has demonstrated 24/7 fault-free operation, reducing the risk of production-line material stoppages.
• A Clear and Measurable Payback Path: Heavy infrastructure retrofits, which can cost millions, are eliminated. With significantly optimized overall transport capacity costs, industrial parks can recover their automation investment in a short period and enter a period of positive net returns.

02 / Zero Infrastructure Retrofitting: Rapid Turnkey Deployment in Days

Conventional automation projects often require cutting concrete to bury magnetic markers, applying reflective tape, or installing costly roadside equipment. These approaches carry high costs and long lead times, and any change to the production layout can force a rebuild. AutoCore ADrive removes these environmental dependencies and enables genuinely flexible deployment:

• True Autonomous Navigation Independent of Physical Infrastructure: By integrating RTK-GNSS, high-precision IMU inertial navigation, wheel encoders, and LiDAR scan matching, vehicles maintain smooth, centimeter-accurate localization in steel-frame factories, interchange corridors, and other locations with weak satellite signals. No physical markers are required on the ground.
• Rapid Mapping and Deployment in Days: Site personnel only need to drive the vehicle once along the target pathways to generate a high-precision digital-twin route map. From route scoping to deployment and routine driverless trials, setup can be completed within days.
• Agile Route Adjustments: When a factory adds unloading bays, expands its buildings, or temporarily changes cargo flows, logistics managers can update routes directly through the cloud management console with no on-site construction, enabling rapid business response.

03 / Robust Field Navigation: Mixed Traffic, Narrow Passages, and Temporary Obstructions

Real-world industrial parks are dynamic environments where workers cross paths, forklifts reverse across aisles, and trucks frequently load cargo in travel lanes. AutoCore ADrive is designed to navigate these conditions with a high degree of operational determinism:

• Dynamic Obstacle Avoidance and Obstruction Recovery: A dynamic behavior prediction model anticipates the intent of nearby pedestrians and forklifts, adjusting speed and yielding smoothly. When a temporary blockage obstructs the route, the vehicle can recover autonomously and plan a safe micro-detour without disrupting the main traffic flow.
• Narrow-Passage Navigation, Automated Parking, and Precision Docking: Centimeter-level motion planning and precise drive-by-wire control help the vehicle navigate narrow passages and right-angle turns in older facilities, park autonomously, and dock at loading and unloading bays with millimeter-level precision to avoid accidental collisions.
• Automotive-Grade Safety Architecture with Dual Black Boxes: The solution is built on the AutoCore.OS (ACOS) automotive-grade deterministic scheduling engine, supporting responsive control of steering, braking, and drive actuation. Comprehensive fault monitoring, hardware fault isolation, and Fail-Operational / Fail-Safe staged stopping strategies improve system resilience. On-vehicle and cloud black boxes record key operating states and events for precise post-event review and auditing, supporting the safety of personnel, cargo, and assets.

04 / Flexible Commercial Models and AI-Driven Evolution: From Prototype Validation to Production Scale

To address diverse customer requirements across transport tasks, investment levels, and operating models, AutoCore offers flexible commercial collaboration and full-lifecycle support:

• Vehicles Configured to the Task with a Shared Software Foundation: Powered by AutoCore.OS, the modular ADrive stack and algorithms adapt to compact last-mile delivery vehicles, campus shuttles, and heavy-payload flatbeds. Multi-point campus delivery can be configured around access and stopping space, while warehouse-to-warehouse transfer can be matched with the appropriate chassis and range based on payload, cargo volume, and shift requirements, without redeveloping software for each vehicle type.
• Flexible Delivery Models: Options include turnkey complete vehicles, autonomous driving retrofit kits for existing drive-by-wire vehicles, autonomous driving controllers, Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) subscriptions priced by month or transport volume, and customized algorithm modules. Customers can start with a light-asset model and pay only for productive transport capacity.
• AI Data Loop and Digital Twin Simulation: The data loop uses AI to automatically identify and annotate high-value operating data. The digital twin builds high-fidelity virtual environments from real-world vehicle data so teams can replay difficult field cases and validate improvements in simulation. Verified releases can then be deployed to vehicles through automotive-grade secure OTA, enabling algorithms to improve continuously in real operations.
