Optimized for Real‑Time Performance

Safe highway‑speed operation requires low‑latency inference. PlusAI’s system is engineered to meet these constraints:

Model Distillation . Large neural networks are trained and then compressed into smaller, more efficient models suitable for automotive‑grade hardware.

Automotive‑Ready . The resulting models maintain the performance, interpretability, and reliability required for commercial deployment on cost‑effective computing platforms.

This optimization ensures that PlusAI can deliver advanced AI capabilities while meeting the responsiveness and resource constraints typical of commercial trucks.

SuperDrive Product Overview

SuperDrive is PlusAI’s proprietary AI‑based software platform that enables L4 autonomous driving for heavy‑duty trucks. Designed for full vehicle integration, SuperDrive is capable of performing the complete dynamic driving task within a defined ODD, which specifies the conditions (road types, traffic environments, weather) under which the system operates safely. Although SuperDrive is designed to enable Level 4 automation within its defined ODD when and where regulations permit, the platform may also be deployed in configurations that correspond to SAE Levels 2 or 3; in such cases, a human driver remains responsible for supervising the system and complying with local law, even if the underlying technology is capable of higher levels of automation.

By removing the need for a human driver, SuperDrive is designed to improve operational efficiency, safety, and cost‑effectiveness for commercial fleets. SuperDrive does not require custom hardware designed by PlusAI, and PlusAI does not design or manufacture sensors or other hardware components. The autonomous driving functions enabled by PlusAI’s SuperDrive software rely on data from a combination of sensors, including radar, lidar, video cameras, global navigation satellite systems (such as GPS), and inertial measurement units. These sensors are sourced by the OEMs from third-party suppliers. While different OEMs may select different sensor models or vendors, the types of sensors used, and the categories of data they provide, are uniform. SuperDrive is designed to ingest standardized data inputs across these sensor categories, and PlusAI specifies the performance

and interface requirements that each sensor must meet. This flexibility allows OEM partners to select commercially available hardware while ensuring forward compatibility with evolving sensor technologies.

Three‑Layer Redundancy for Safety

SuperDrive incorporates a three‑layer redundancy architecture that enhances operational reliability and provides fail‑safe mechanisms across critical driving functions:

Primary Driving System (Layer 1) . The first layer of SuperDrive’s three-layer redundancy architecture is
