ThorDrive develops a comprehensive full-autonomy platform (Thor AI Driver) integrating LiDAR, camera, RADAR, low-cost GPS and AI for perception, localization, planning and control in real time. The company says its stack has been validated through tests in U.S. Silicon Valley and Seoul road environments and through roughly 100,000 km of urban driving trials, including high‑precision positioning that works in GPS‑shadowed areas. ThorDrive plans to further advance level 4–5 full autonomous driving performance and to develop practical, service-ready autonomous driving technology in the near term. It reports strong interest from European global Tier‑1 suppliers and logistics and retail customers. Product deployment plans this year include autonomous personal-transport vehicles for mobility-impaired users at Incheon International Airport terminals 1 and 2, and a U.S. pilot with a European Tier‑1 partner to develop a new concept autonomous vehicle. The company has positioned its technology toward commercialization and market partnerships rather than demonstration-only projects.
