Nextchip disrupts automotive image processing market by integrating AImotive's high-performance aiWare NN Inference accelerator optimized for camera-first autonomous driving applications

To get ADAS right, you have to start with the hardware. You can create the most advanced perception, robust decision making, detailed planning algorithms, but without a robust, reliable hardware platform with sufficient guaranteed performance, any deployment strategy will simply fail.

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.
