Santa Clara, California: U.S. chip design agency Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has mentioned that Japanese automotive provide firm Aisin, a member of the Toyota Group of firms, has chosen its micro processor, Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC, to energy a brand new automated automobile parking system.
In an interview with Reuters, Wayne Lyons, AMD’s senior director for the automotive market, mentioned, “These parking systems have been very much a foothold in the very luxury vehicle market today. Aisin’s solution is designed to make this more mainstream, because the solution itself is designed to fit into a very cost effective module.”
Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC was developed by Xilinx, which focuses on chips known as FPGAs, or field-programmable gate array, and was acquired by AMD this yr.
“Their circuits can be reconfigured after the chip is installed in things like cars. This will allow automakers to update not only software, but also the chip after the car is sold,” mentioned Rehan Tahir, AMD’s senior product advertising and marketing supervisor for automotive, as quoted by Reuters.
Aisin’s auto parking system might be put in on 2024 fashions, Tahir added, however he didn’t say which automobile manufacturers would use it.
“The Aisin system works with four cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors on the car to parallel park and also back into parking spaces. But the human in the car will have to decide if that spot is in a no-parking zone,” he added.
