NXP Semiconductors N.V. demonstrated a comprehensive and highly manufacturable autonomous vehicles platform leveraging NXP’s new BlueBox engine, and deploying NXP silicon and software solutions at each ADAS node.
The system demonstration incorporates the BlueBox central computing engine, together with radar, lidar and vision sensing, as well as an onboard secure V2X system – all of which are powered by NXP silicon currently in volume production or sampling to customers now.
Already in customers’ hands at four of the top five largest carmakers in the world, the BlueBox engine works in NXP’s comprehensive autonomous vehicles platform to provide OEMs and their suppliers with the technology they need to meet the stringent safety, power and processing performance requirements of the global automotive industry, using readily available NXP technology.
NXP introduced its new autonomous vehicles platform just months after becoming the world’s largest provider of silicon to the worldwide automotive market.
“With this industry-first platform, NXP is leveraging its worldwide automotive silicon leadership to dramatically advance the state of autonomous vehicles,” said Kurt Sievers, EVP and GM of NXP’s Automotive Business.
In autonomous vehicles systems, multiple streams of sensor data are routed to the BlueBox engine, where they are fused to create a complete 360° world model around the vehicle. This functionality greatly improves car safety by both managing and preventing emergency situations.
NXP’s BlueBox solution has been shipping to select customers since September 2015, and is broadly available now.
