On Says It's Used in AutoX AV RoboTaxi Platform

On Semiconductor’s image-sensing and lidar technologies are part of AutoX’s RoboTaxi Gen5 self-driving platform, the chipmaker told the World Artificial Intelligence Conference Thursday. On’s AR0820AT eight-megapixel image sensor enables high-resolution camera fusion with other sensors, important in dense urban scenarios where a wide field of view is needed to capture objects on sidewalks or cross traffic, said AutoX CEO Jianxiong Xiao. Twenty-eight AR0820AT chips extend the sensing distance to beyond 300 meters, enabling autonomy at freeway speeds, Xiao said. Four On lidar sensors give RoboTaxi a full surround view, said the company.
