HARDWARE · COCKPIT CENTRAL COMPUTE

Vehicle Central Controller — AI-Native Cockpit × Integrated Cockpit-Vehicle Compute

One controller equals smart cockpit plus vehicle hub (BCM / VCU / central gateway / thermal management): AI-native cockpit experience with consolidated cost savings, an ASIL-D lockstep safety island and white-box delivery with source code and SBOM.

1 = cockpit + vehicle hub

Multi-in-one replacement for distributed ECUs · Less wiring, fewer housings, simpler assembly

ASIL-D

TC397 lockstep safety island · Vehicle safety path

3B / 7B

Local LLM in flagship edition · Works offline, data stays onboard

Core Capabilities

Standard edition ⊂ flagship edition, progressive capability

AI Cockpit Experience (AIOS)

The AIOS cockpit AI foundation: vehicle control goes through deterministic NLU straight to SOA; open dialogue runs on onboard SLM / VLM; autonomous execution agents orchestrate cross-app tasks.

Cockpit-Vehicle Integrated Platform

Vehicle hub (BCM / VCU / gateway / thermal) and smart cockpit (IVI / cluster / multi-screen / connectivity / perception) consolidated into one controller, replacing distributed ECUs.

Local LLM (Flagship)

The RK1828 AI co-processor runs 3B / 7B LLM / VLM inference fully locally: fully functional offline, data never leaves the car, models updated by OTA as configuration-level replacement.

Parking & In-Vehicle Vision

APA / RPA parking (vision fused with ultrasonic), 360° AVM surround view, PDC parking sensors and DVR sentry mode.

Vehicle OTA & Connectivity

A/B partitions, differential updates, multi-ECU orchestrated flashing and staged rollback; remote vehicle control and SOVD remote diagnostics; Smart BMS / Thermal AI applications already deployed with overseas customers.

Safety & White-Box Delivery

ASIL decomposition: power-up/down, torque and thermal safety run on the TC397 lockstep core (ASIL-D); ISO 21434 processes with UN R155 / R156 compliance support; white-box delivery with source code and SBOM.
