TEL AVIV, Israel, June 27, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Joint solution is available now to enable powerful, efficient and safe

automotive ECUs  

    Hailo [https://www.hailo.ai/], the leading edge Artificial Intelligence

(AI) chipmaker, today announced its collaboration with Renesas

[https://www.renesas.com/us/en], a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor

solutions, to deliver a powerful and energy-efficient processing solution

enabling advanced driver-assistance (ADAS) functions and automated driving (AD)

systems in motor vehicles. The joint Hailo-Renesas solution will make

sophisticated ADAS technology more accessible in cars of all types.

    The combination of Hailo-8 processors, designed for heavy Neural Network

(NN) acceleration, with the powerful Renesas R-Car V3H & R-Car V4H

systems-on-chip (SoCs), powers robust, scalable, efficient, and cost-effective

ADAS solutions for zonal and centralized vehicular ECUs. The solutions are

scalable for a wide range of ADAS functions from ADAS L2+ up to L4 AD functions

requiring very high tera-operations per second (TOPS), while delivering

best-in-class TOPS/W.

    "ADAS and AD features have proven to be instrumental in minimizing

accidents and saving lives. However, technological challenges have caused great

difficulties for automakers looking to make such advanced functions accessible

in anything but higher-end vehicles," said Orr Danon, CEO and Co-Founder of

Hailo. "Together with Renesas, we are offering a solution helping democratize

ADAS, so its benefits can be enjoyed by more and more drivers. AI will play a

major role in making our roads safer, and with industry leaders like Renesas

helping us innovate, we will make driving both safer and more affordable."  

    "Automotive OEMs are looking for scalable solutions for ADAS and AD to

streamline software development," said Yusuke Kawasaki, Director, Automotive

Digital Products Marketing Division at Renesas. "We are confident that our

collaboration with Hailo, which has expertise in AI technology, will enable our

customers to easily extend the performance of the R-Car so that they can

flexibly and quickly incorporate ADAS/AD functionality in various classes of

vehicles."

    Key features for the joint Hailo-Renesas solution include:

    - Independent scalability in AI & compute, allowing flexibility and

cost-effectiveness for Level 2+ to Level 4 ADAS designs

    - The highest performing solution available today in the automotive market,

ranging from 60 TOPS to over 170 TOPS for multi-sensor perception and fusion

    - Best-in-class power efficiency, enabling ECUs to be passively cooled,

which reduces the BOM and system cost

    - Functional safety for the ADAS/AD ECU with Renesas R-Car (R-Car V4H is

expected to achieve ASIL-B and D metrics for the real-time domain) and Hailo

(Hailo-8 supports ASIL B)        

    - An open software ecosystem allowing OEMs/Tier-1s more control &

possibility for innovation

    A single Hailo-8(TM) delivers unprecedented performance to edge devices.

Featuring up to 26 TOPS at a typical power consumption of 2.5 W, the chip is

built with an innovative architecture that enables edge devices to run

sophisticated Deep Learning applications that could previously only run on the

cloud. Hailo-8's advanced structure translates into higher performance, lower

power, and minimal latency, enabling enhanced privacy and better reliability

for smart devices operating at the edge.

    Hailo continues to make significant strides in the automotive industry,

partnering with industry leaders to create high-performance, scalable AI

solutions for automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs), enabling

power-efficient AI acceleration with low energy consumption to advance

automotive innovation.

    The joint Hailo-Renesas solution

[https://ai.hailo.ai/hailo-renesas-for-adas-av] is available for customer

evaluations and demonstrations. It will be showcased live at Automobil

Elektronik Kongress in Ludwigsburg (Germany) on June 28-29.
