Joynext Targets Mid-2027 L3 Mass Production With FlexBlade Central Computing Platform

1 articles · Updated · Gasgoo Auto News · Sep 20

Summary

  • Mid-2027 is Joynext’s target for mass production of L3 autonomous-driving products, with the first launch planned on models from a leading automaker.
  • FlexBlade underpins that push with a cross-domain central computing architecture that uses a single-chip system to cut control units, simplify vehicle electronics and fuse cockpit and ADAS functions.
  • Jeffrey Wang said L3 and L2++ will split into different commercial paths: L3 focuses on limited scenarios that fully free the driver, while L2++ chases wider scenario coverage and user experience.
  • For L4, Joynext sees operating economics—not core technology—as the main barrier; at Ningbo Port, its Siann partnership is already running a V2X-plus-L4 smart logistics platform in stable operation.
  • The company’s 2026 strategy centers on cost control, central computing and V2X, backed by partners including Huawei and Qualcomm and a Poland plant expanded twice in 5 years.
