The company will also showcase next gen, hardware agnostic self-driving technology on platforms from Quanta, Nvidia and Renesas

Higher levels of autonomy will require dedicated chips built for self-driving. However, developing hardware platforms requires unique expertise of a kind that most traditional automotive OEMs don’t have.

Currently, many AVs use a powerful central compute platform, but as the technology, safety standards, and regulations mature even these platforms cannot deliver the performance needed. Distributed processing offers some answers, especially for AVs.
