AMD and Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS) have announced a collaboration to integrate AMD’s adaptive computing technology into SSS’ newest automotive LiDAR reference design. The partnership aims to deliver a powerful and efficient LiDAR solution for use in autonomous vehicles, setting new standards in performance, reliability, and adaptability.
The SSS LiDAR reference design, powered by AMD Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC adaptive SoCs and Artix-7 FPGAs, enables automakers and automotive equipment suppliers to navigate complex driving scenarios and identify potential hazards with exceptional precision. By incorporating AMD’s adaptive computing technology, the LiDAR system capabilities are significantly extended, offering extraordinary accuracy, fast data processing, and high reliability for next-generation autonomous driving solutions.
LiDAR technology plays a crucial role in autonomous driving, providing depth perception and environmental mapping that cannot be achieved by cameras alone, especially in low-light or inclement weather conditions. The dedicated LiDAR reference design addresses the complexities of autonomous vehicle development with a standardized platform to enhance safety in navigating diverse driving scenarios.
“LiDAR technology with its AI-enhanced perception capabilities is advancing at an incredible pace, enabling deployments for an ever-growing number of applications,” said Yousef Khalilollahi, corporate vice president & general manager, AMD Adaptive Computing Group. “Our collaboration with Sony Semiconductor Solutions integrating AMD adaptive computing technology into its LiDAR reference design exemplifies our dedication to pushing the boundaries of technology and driving innovation in critical industries.”
Takayoshi Ozone, general manager, Automotive Development Department at Sony Semiconductor Solutions Corporation, added, “This technical collaboration with AMD represents a significant leap forward in our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions for LiDAR applications. By incorporating AMD adaptive computing technology into our LiDAR reference design, we are poised to set new standards in performance, reliability, and adaptability.”
