QCraft's coming European headquarters in Germany reflects its long-term commitment and strategy for global expansion. Germany's legacy of automotive innovation, its complete industrial ecosystem, and rigorous technical standards provide fertile ground for QCraft to localize its solutions. The new base will oversee core functions including R&D integration, certification processes, and business development—ensuring QCraft's solutions meet the highest European and international standards.

QCraft's Technological Advantage

The company's technology is designed with breakthrough compute efficiency, delivering better performance with less computing power. QCraft's technical efficiency is based on two core strengths: leading large-model capabilities and a comprehensive data toolchain that has been built in-house, from the ground up. This powerful combination enables their algorithms, such as end-to-end models, VLA and world models, to iterate at exceptional speeds through data-driven development.

These technological assets have enabled QCraft to develop market leading L2++ to L4 products. QCraft's efficiency for AD technology not only enables automakers to reduce system complexity and integration costs but also accelerates mass-market adoption by making advanced intelligent driving and premium autonomous features accessible at scale, without costly hardware upgrades.

Safety-First Approach

From technological breakthroughs to large-scale mass production, QCraft pursues AD advancement not via short-term, surface-level or flashy progress but with a long-term, safety-first philosophy.

QCraft is built on a safety-led foundation that underpins its approach to autonomous driving innovation and advancement. This focus on safety defines the evolution of intelligent assisted driving and delivers an unmatched sense of security for users.

Partnership with Qualcomm

To accelerate global deployment, QCraft has entered a partnership with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. to build next-generation intelligent assisted driving solutions on the Qualcomm® Snapdragon Ride™ platform. This collaboration will combine Qualcomm's ecosystem resources with QCraft's proven technical capabilities, reducing mass production cycles and costs while addressing the customized needs of global automakers. With the addition of this partnership, QCraft now supports 3 different leading chipsets that include Horizon Robotics and NVIDIA.

QCraft has already completed development of its NOA solutions based on Snapdragon Ride™. Mass production and delivery of QCraft's full-stack solutions in Europe, the U.S., Japan and South Korea are expected to begin in 2026
