China’s QCraft surpasses 1 million vehicle installations for intelligent driving tech

News, 27 January 2026

China’s autonomous driving tech scene just hit a major commercialization milestone. QCraft, a Beijing-based autonomous driving company, announced that its advanced driver-assistance and intelligent navigation systems have now been installed in over 1 million passenger vehicles, marking a new phase of large-scale adoption for next-gen driving tech in China and beyond.

The milestone was revealed at QCraft Day 2026, where the company highlighted how its QPilot intelligent driving system deployed across 23 models from nearly ten major automakers including Li Auto, Chery, SAIC, Geely and GAC has moved from niche applications into the mainstream. In 2026 alone, more than 50 new vehicle models are expected to come with this technology as standard, many bringing City Navigation on Autopilot (NOA) to more accessible price tiers.

QCraft’s rapid scaling underscores how advanced driver-assistance systems are no longer limited to premium models. By integrating City NOA and smart parking features into vehicles ranging from affordable to high-end segments, QCraft is helping broad-base autonomous capabilities across diverse consumer markets. The company reports billions of assisted driving kilometers logged and significant safety contributions such as automatic emergency braking features that reduce false triggers and avoid thousands of potential accidents annually.

Beyond passenger cars, QCraft is also pushing into future mobility domains. The firm recently unveiled QPilot 2.0, a next-generation solution boasting 500+ TOPS AI computing power and Vision-Language-Action architecture tailored for both advanced driver-assistance and higher autonomy levels. At the same event, QCraft introduced an end-to-end Urban NOA solution based around a single high-efficiency chip design that is already entering mass production on select models.

To support broader commercialization, QCraft also launched its Robo-X platform, an “Android-like” development ecosystem for future applications including autonomous buses, vans, and robotaxis and outlined expansion plans across Asia, Europe and the Middle East.

This milestone signals that China’s intelligent driving technologies are moving decisively from pilot projects to mass deployment, making advanced autonomy more accessible and accelerating the global transition to smarter, safer vehicles.
