Ambarella Expands Autonomous Driving AI Domain Controller Family With Two New Members; Provides Broadest Software-Compatible AI Performance Range - Seite 3

The CV3-AD family’s on-chip image signal processor provides outstanding imaging in low-light conditions, including high-dynamic-range processing to extract maximum image detail in high-contrast scenes. These features enhance the SoCs’ AI and computer vision capabilities, while delivering clear video for human viewing. All CV3-AD family members also provide high-resolution video recording and streaming at very low bit rates with efficient H.264 video encoding.

The integrated hardware security module provides isolation of different domains and secure software provisioning, as well as a suite of advanced cybersecurity features, including: asymmetric/symmetric crypto acceleration, secure storage and key provisioning, encrypted CVflow AI acceleration tasks, true random number generator, one-time programmable memory, DRAM scrambling and DRAM virtualization.

CV3-AD635 and CV3-AD655 engineering samples are expected to be available in Q1 2024. Additionally, at Ambarella’s invitation-only exhibition during CES in Las Vegas this week, the company will provide fully autonomous test drives in its R&D vehicles to demonstrate the CV3-AD family’s capabilities.

Continental-Ambarella Partnership
This strategic partnership combines Continental’s software and hardware expertise, as well as its broad portfolio of automotive system solutions, with Ambarella's computer vision and AI know-how, software modules and powerful SoCs—including the full CV3-AD family that was expanded today. Continental and Ambarella are focused on optimized full-stack software, which can be scaled across the CV3-AD SoC family, within the companies’ joint hardware systems based on AI for Level 2+ to Level 4 automated vehicles. These full-stack solutions take a multi-sensor approach, including Continental’s high-resolution cameras, radars and lidars, as well as the associated control units and the required software. Continental and Ambarella have received their first order as a complete Level 4 fallback system, covering the full chain of effects. First joint series production is planned for calendar-year 2027. Thus, as a result of this strategic partnership, vehicle manufacturers will be able to flexibly integrate the powerful and energy-efficient, yet scalable, mobility system solutions from Continental and Ambarella into their latest vehicle generations.
