Renesas Electronics: Unmanned solutions from cloud services to sensors to entire vehicle control

Recently, Renesas Electronics China Automotive Electronics Application Technology Minister Lin Zhien visited the Munich Electronics Show to elaborate on Renesas Electronics' RenesasautonomyTM platform for autonomous driving. The platform has been launched for a full year, and the Renesas autonomyTM platform has also grown rapidly during the year, driven by the autopilot market.

"At present, everyone is moving towards L3 and L4, and the pace is getting faster and faster." Lin Zhien said, "Renesas Electronics' goal is to serve the needs of the automotive market. Unmanned driving needs to go from cloud service to sensor to vehicle control. The solution needs to be stable and reliable."

In view of the fact that major processor manufacturers are now focusing on the market of unmanned driving, Lin Zhien emphasized that Renesas Electronics has a stable product roadmap for the driverless field and can stably implement product development plans according to the company's current development trend.

What is the Renesas autonomyTM platform?

Lin Zhien said that on the Renesas automonyTM platform, Renesas Electronics will launch different solutions for the entire autonomous driving environment and partners, including cloud services, sensors, cognition, and control.

The most central of these is the R-Car V3M High Performance Image Recognition System-on-Chip (SoC).

The R-Car V3M SoC complies with the ISO26262 functional safety standard and samples are available from December 2017 and are scheduled to begin mass production in June 2019.

Lin Zhien pointed out that the Renesas autonomyTM platform has three concepts: open, innovative and reliable.

Complementary ecosystem partner technology and open development platform

In terms of development, Lin Zhien said that there are currently more than 230 members of the R-Car Alliance. The official data of 195 a year ago has increased by nearly 20% in one year.

The open development platform allows Tier 1 suppliers to choose to enter directly, directly on Renesas Electronics' innovative technologies, or with ecosystem partners. Tier 1 suppliers can choose to maximize value through internal resources or work with Renesas Electronics' R-Car Alliance to dramatically reduce design effort and time to market.

"R-Car Alliance products will meet regularly to introduce partners' solutions to customers, so that everyone can carry out more product technology exchanges." Lin Zhien said. In fact, no company currently has all the key technologies for autonomous vehicles, so an open alliance is necessary.

Lin Zhien said that at the CES show, Renesas Electronics and a number of autonomous driving solutions partners showcase auto-driving car technology. At the most prime location at CES, Renesas Electronics demonstrated features including low-power artificial intelligence, ASIL D fault operating system, low-cost sensing, and more secure communication and sensing. Now the fleet has increased from 20 members in 2017 to 30, and the number of self-driving vehicles has increased from 4 to 6. In addition, more than 100 consultants and engineers including partners have provided guidance.

In addition to autonomous driving, Renesas Electronics has also created a smart cockpit concept that supports multi-screen interaction, 3D dashboards, and camera replacement for rearview mirrors, giving drivers the most intelligent and cool driving experience.

Lin Zhien introduced a very interesting application. Last year, Renesas Electronics and Softbank teamed up with the "EmoTIon Engine" project to use software to detect the driver's physical and emotional state to estimate the driver's fatigue or tension, thus making the vehicle Give the corresponding instructions.

When it comes to smart cars, you have to mention networking. At present, Renesas Electronics is working with many IT-related vendors such as Amazon AWS, Feida and EPAM to provide cloud service platforms, including OTA software upgrades, smart navigation, security gateways and more. cloud service.

Lin Zhien listed the car manufacturer using the Renesas AutonomyTM platform. Although it is impossible to provide the actual customer name, it can be seen that the customer group has covered the major automobile producing countries of China, Japan and the United States.

As shown in the figure, basically until 2019, Renesas Electronics will have the biggest gain in the automotive market.

Innovative accelerators and market-proven functional safety technology

To keep the required algorithms running, the Renesas autonomyTM platform allows Tier 1 vendors to choose the most appropriate IP core (including hardware accelerators) for functional security and flexibility in an architecture that delivers the highest performance at the lowest power. Sex. In addition, customers can leverage Renesas Electronics' expertise in integrating different IP and low-power designs to reduce their bill of materials (BOM).

Functional safety is the key to achieving autonomous driving. Since the launch of the first automotive safety MCU in 2008, Renesas Electronics has been providing functional safety solutions to the market. To meet the advanced functional safety requirements of ADAS and autonomous driving applications, Renesas Electronics utilizes its latest generation of high performance SoC and MCU products to meet different ASIL levels. In addition to supporting the ASIL-C with the new R-Car V3M SoC, Renesas Electronics also offers a variety of ASIL-B class SoCs (R-Car M3 and R-Car H3) and ASIL-D class MCUs (RH850/P1X series) support. The latest ADAS application requirements.

Lin Zhien said that the development environment of the Renesas autonomyTM platform can cooperate with third-party platforms in addition to its own e2 studio development environment. In addition, more flexible solutions are supported for development boards and operating systems, such as the 3D look-and-feel solution with Cogent Embedded.

In addition, in order to accelerate customer innovation, Renesas Electronics provides a hardware starter kit and supporting development software, and customers can quickly download and learn training. Lin Zhien said that the toolkit was sold to 200 customers last year, exceeding 2,500 sets.

Reliable, scalable hardware product line with high performance and low power consumption

The Renesas autonomyTM platform enables Tier 1 suppliers to build a variety of ADAS and autopilot systems. System builders can leverage sustainable, scalable product lines to develop solutions from entry to advanced, reuse development results, reduce time to market, proven solutions from Renesas Electronics and long-term automotive markets Benefited from the contributions.

As a supplier that has been in the forefront of the automotive industry for many years and has been at the forefront of the market, Renesas Electronics has always valued the quality control of automotive electronics, which is the most important and important reason why several major automakers dare to adopt Renesas Electronics as their core supplier. .

"Based on the concept of the RENESAS autonomyTM platform, we will further commission an unmanned solution as a vehicle platform supplier and will continue to offer the "One STOP-SOLUTION" mode." Lin Zhien said.
