Autonomous driving seems far away and full of difficulties, but no company or individual will be unwilling to believe that it is the future and pay for it and move in this direction.
When it comes to autonomous driving, the first thing to pay attention to is its chip and its domain controller platform. Currently, according to its official release information, the computing power TOPS of its single chip and domain controller platform is ranked, but what I want to declare here is that the computing power is only for refer to. In fact, when it comes to chips, energy consumption and data transmission speed and bandwidth are extremely important in autonomous driving, because autonomous driving needs to process a large amount of video and radar data. There is also the efficiency of the supporting operating system and applications.
When it comes to its domain controller platform, Nvidia and Horizon are also eye-catching. Horizon’s Matrix5 uses four Horizon 5 chips to support a computing power of 512TOPS. Nvidia and moblieye also use multiple chips to form their platforms.
But the current autonomous driving is not as simple as computing power, just like in the mobile computer era, not only the CPU and memory mean that the mobile phone is powerful and easy to use. There is a long chain of factors to be considered from commercial feasibility to development technical feasibility to user perception and acceptance.
