Renesas Announces SoC With Computer Vision AI Processing for Autonomous Cars

Renesas Electronics announced an SoC with computer vision and artificial intelligence processing at low power levels designed for automotive front cameras in mass-produced Level 3 (conditional automation) and Level 4 (high automation) autonomous vehicles. The R-Car V3H SoC is optimized for use in stereo front cameras and is said to achieve five times the computer vision performance of its predecessor. Samples of the R-Car V3H will be available from Q4, with mass production slated for Q3 2019, said the company Tuesday.
