Qualcomm Technologies has introduced the latest addition to the Snapdragon Ride Platform portfolio – the Snapdragon Ride Vision System – a new open, scalable, and modular computer vision software stack built on a four-nanometer (4nm) process technology system-on-chip (SoC) designed for an optimized implementation of front and surround cameras for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving (AD).
Combining the purpose-built, high-performance Snapdragon Ride SoCs with the next generation vision perception software stack from Arriver, the Snapdragon Ride Vision System is engineered with a blend of industry-proven hardware and software solutions to support various compute functions needed for enhanced perception around the vehicle to allow for planning and acting and safer driving experiences.
As one of the industry’s most scalable and open systems for ADAS and AD, the Snapdragon Ride Vision System supports flexible deployment options with its ability to scale from entry-tier New Car Assessment Program (NCAP) front camera applications to higher levels of automation that require comprehensive front and surround-view camera applications, allowing for a common implementation of features and requirements, with functional safety/SOTIF support, across virtually all vehicle tiers and types. The Snapdragon Ride Vision System offers a uniquely designed modular architecture to extend the flexibility for automakers to integrate map crowdsourcing, driver monitoring system (DMS), parking systems, cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technologies and localization modules to support better customization and up-integration.
As the industry progresses toward new advances in automated driving, Qualcomm Technologies expects to see a greater need for automotive solutions aimed at providing functional safety, specifically vision-based perception and sensing software, which is used for detection, classification and tracking of static and dynamic objects.
The Snapdragon Ride Vision System is expected to be available in vehicle production in 2024.
