Hyperview Selects Ambarella’s Chip Tech for Self-Driving Platform

Autonomous driving technology company Hyperview has selected Ambarella’s CV3-AD family of artificial intelligence (AI) central domain controller systems-on-chip (SoC) to develop high-performance computing autonomous driving platforms. The focus of this development will be on pairing CV3-AD SoCs with Hyperview’s software stack to provide production-ready perception, automated driving and parking solutions, for implementation by Tier 1s and OEMs in autonomous driving systems.

The CV3-AD SoC family integrates Ambarella’s next-generation CVflow AI computing architecture, which provides optimal processing for Hyperview’s perception and planning algorithm, due to its higher software execution efficiency and lower power consumption compared with GPU and DSP architectures, according to the collaborators. The CV3-AD’s 5-nm process technology further reduces the power consumption of the system. The end result is that Hyperview’s CV3-AD-based central domain control unit can drastically simplify automotive thermal-management design and lower power management complexity, while decreasing system costs and the mechanical complexity of vehicles.
