2:45pm: Understanding the cost-effective integration of sensors and computing in automotive advancements
ABSTRACT:
The proliferation of sensors in modern vehicles is evident, driven by their integral role in both driver assistance and automated driving applications. The quantity and type of sensors integrated into a vehicle vary based on the specific application’s requirements, influencing not only performance but also cost considerations. The principal sensors—namely, cameras, radar, and LiDAR—each undergo their own technological advancements, contributing to the evolving landscape. The significant data generated by these sensors underscores the critical role of computing for OEMs. The trajectory of computing evolution is intricately tied to the targeted level of automation. Lower levels of automation necessitate less computing power, while higher levels demand a more centralized Electrical/Electronic (E/E) architecture and a sophisticated domain controller for intricate data processing and fusion.
This presentation aims to elucidate the correlation between the evolution of sensors and computing requirements across varying levels of automation. Delving into the technological evolution of sensors, it will spotlight potential breakthroughs and the integration of emerging technologies. The dynamic nature of this evolution will be illustrated through a comprehensive analysis of the cost trajectory for each sensor type. Furthermore, the presentation will provide a contextual overview by juxtaposing the requisite number of sensors and their associated costs across different levels of automation. Drawing insights from multiple teardowns of sensors and domain controllers employed in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the presentation will offer a nuanced understanding of the intricate interplay between evolving sensor technologies and the demands of computing in the automotive landscape.
