Experts rank Tesla, Apple, Nvidia and 7 other companies building the most powerful tech for autonomous vehicles
"AImotive got its start in 2015 developing machine vision algorithms for AD [automated driving] systems...AImotive has since added the development of its own AD simulation platform and the aiWare SoC [system on a chip] design. aiWare is designed to provide a low power consumption solution for processing neural network algorithms for AD systems.
"AImotive has designed its core to be offered either as a standalone accelerator chip or to be integrated into other SoCs. As AImotive is a small company with no silicon fabrication capabilities, the licensing model is likely to be the more successful path as lons as the aiWare accelerator matches the claims made for it. Those claims are quite lofty with up to 4 TOPS [trillion operations per second] performance at just 1 W power consumption.
"Few details are known about the AD efforts of Apple...However, extrapolating from the work the company has done in chip design in its current businesses, particularly mobile devices, provides important hints about what Apple might do. Since launching its first internally designed SoC, the A4 in the iPad and iPhone in 2013, Apple has built a reputation as one of the best chip design firms in the world...
"A version of this neural engine scaled up for an AD application could potentially match or exceed the performance of competing chips from Nvidia and Intel. If Apple can retain its power efficiency, it could help to address one of the issues with AVs, a significantly reduced range for EVs."An employee of Renesas Electronics works at the company's Naka wafer fabrication factory in 2011.
