Sony: Collaboration with Hungarian AImotive: VISION-S Autonomous driving
Self-driving AImotive:
January 12 Sony announced at CES 2021 in the United States.
“VISION-S” is equipped with AImotive’s autonomous driving technology.
AImotive:
Based in Hungary, developing autonomous driving technology.
Over 190 engineers work in offices in the US, Japan and Hungary.
AI autonomous driving software,
High speed simulation,
Neural network inference hardware,
We are working on three important issues.Development of new version:
AImotive is developing Level 2 to Level 4 autonomous driving “aiDrive” software.
A new version of the simulation and verification tool “aiSim” will be announced in the second half of the first quarter of 2021 (January to March).

Traditional GPU processing power:
Compared to the conventional solution that uses GPU, the same processing capacity can be realized with about 10% to 20% of the power.
Large capacity, low power consumption, need for efficiency:
In the future, as the resolution of cameras increases, scalable solutions will become important.
At the moment, there are problems of large capacity, low power consumption, and efficiency, and he commented that it is difficult to solve with GPU.
Future Accelerator:
Licensed “aiWare” to semiconductor vendors. SDK is also provided.
Compare aiWare and GPU processing:
When comparing GPU processing, aiWare can produce “3 to 5 times the performance”.
“It’s a dedicated accelerator that can meet AI needs,” he said.
AImotive technology:
AImotive was founded two years ago as a company specializing in autonomous mobile driving technology.
It is a software company aiming for automatic driving technology from level 3 to level 5.
Making full use of deep learning,
Autonomous driving platform “aiDrive”,
Simulation tool “aiSim”,
Hardware Acceleration Letter “aiWare”,
It has three technologies.Robosta
