This leading-edge AD stack and Ambarella\u2019s CV3-AD AI domain controller system-on-chip (SoC) family were designed in conjunction, so the stack runs optimally on the SoC\u2019s CVflow<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> AI engines, minimizing power consumption and the processing load for its on-chip Arm cores. Likewise, these SoCs provide optimal processing for vision and radar sensing and fusion, based on the company\u2019s deep knowledge and experience with these sensing modalities. Additionally, Ambarella\u2019s stack provides a flexible implementation model, enabling automotive OEMs to leverage any or all of its modules in combination with their own software intellectual property.<\/p>\n<p>View a short video about this AD software stack and see it operating in one of Ambarella\u2019s fully autonomous R&amp;D vehicles: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=NWUj7fj5uUK_qk7W3npp8_Hf9L8uPUGAdr650rXNQZpXpK4E_hv5QfdFXv3kvQ1aly9U2J7cQ-lFqqX1ACdj-9i0hxiRcoHlJrwvRUBA3Fk=\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/xhZfGCwU-GY<\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis software stack draws on our more than 25 years of experience, building on the heritage of our VisLab Automotive R&amp;D Team, whose AD stack has steadily evolved to take advantage of our latest AI SoCs,\u201d said Fermi Wang, President and CEO of Ambarella. \u201cToday, we are realizing the vision of our VisLab acquisition in 2015, which, in combination with our algorithm-first philosophy for designing purpose-built SoCs, has culminated in this platform that will enable automakers to deliver on the promise of autonomous driving.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One hallmark of Ambarella\u2019s AI-based based software stack is its deep-learning based planner. This dynamic vehicle path planning module enables a natural driving experience. That functionality resulted from the company\u2019s experience and investments over many years in its evolving R&amp;D vehicle fleet, which enabled the \u201cdeep planner\u201d module to be trained with data from a wide variety of real-world scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>The latest members of this R&amp;D vehicle fleet include a sensing suite that consists of mono and stereo cameras, as well as Ambarella\u2019s Oculii\u2122 4D imaging radar; and all of the processing is being done by the CV3-AD. While Ambarella\u2019s many years of AD and sensor-processing experience led to this optimal configuration, its solutions are flexible to support OEMs\u2019 specific sensing suites (including the option for adding LiDAR).<\/p>\n<p>Another key feature of Ambarella\u2019s software stack is that it only requires readily available, standard-definition (SD) maps; eliminating the need for pre-generated high-definition (HD) maps. Instead, the stack (running on the CV3-AD), generates HD maps in real time using live environmental data from the vehicle\u2019s sensing suite. In contrast, the pre-generated HD maps used by other AD systems are brittle and expensive to maintain, requiring centimeter-level localization capability. They are also unreliable under dynamic conditions such as road construction or accidents. Additionally, Ambarella\u2019s real-time HD map generation is ideal for handling difficult AD scenarios, such as downtown areas in large cities with roundabouts, narrow roads with parked vehicles, heavy traffic, construction, and a high density of pedestrians, cyclists and other vulnerable road users.<\/p>\n<p>Ambarella\u2019s modular AD software and hardware solutions provide OEMs with a scalable platform that enables them to select the CV3-AD family member with the right mix of performance and features for each model in their fleets, opening the door for autonomous features in mass-market vehicles. This includes a broad range of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicle implementations, from fully featured L2+ systems through to higher levels of autonomy.<\/p>\n<p>The CV3-AD SoCs run Ambarella\u2019s entire AD stack with industry-leading power consumption, providing superior AI performance per watt and simplifying thermal management. In the growing electric vehicle (EV) market, that processing efficiency is particularly important in order to increase battery range. Additionally, because this software and hardware were designed to work optimally together\u2014with the stack using just a small fraction of the CV3-AD\u2019s Arm processing power\u2014automakers have plenty of headroom for integrating additional software to create differentiated features, including those for functional safety.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to its optimized AD software and hardware solutions, Ambarella provides automotive OEMs with a complete tool chain\u2014both in-house and from ecosystem partners. This includes tailored tools for data collection (in conjunction with the CV3-AD\u2019s on-chip encoder), simulation and annotation. Development is streamlined via accelerated software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulations using CV3-AD PCIe server cards, while Ambarella also provides a fully automated 3D annotation pipeline to support AI training.<\/p>\n<p>The new Ambarella AD software stack will be demonstrated via fully autonomous test drives at Ambarella\u2019s invitation-only exhibition during <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globenewswire.com\/Tracker?data=NQc5vCHlC4i5pCHQ6pZQdth9oS-NZiUkHznh2KyaGvGlvyrQtV46d5uUpxwvgqlkXXXQHEFG_yRGTovfKyQGXQ==\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"CES\">CES<\/a> in Las Vegas.
