On Thursday, I posted on software defined vehicles and spoke to why there is a move in that direction and the benefits it provides. I thought it was a good idea to discuss now how it is even possible.
Synopsys Inc gives a nice overview of “How Do Autonomous Vehicles Work?” They state, “autonomous cars rely on sensors, actuators, complex algorithms, machine learning systems, and powerful processors to execute software. Autonomous cars create and maintain a map of their surroundings based on a variety of sensors situated in different parts of the vehicle.”
It is the union of hardware and software that enable the automotive industry to continue on the path to autonomy. We have discussed the importance of the sensors and how they come together but the real star of the show is the powerful processors. On my last post, Brian Carlson of NXP pointed out that the “new processors offer the ability to efficiently access and process the vehicle-wide data at the edge. You do not need to send everything to the cloud.”
So how does it work?
Automotive uses Microprocessors (MPU), Microcontrollers (MCU) and Systems-on-Chip (SoC)
◾ Microprocessors are used for image processing and are essential in infotainment and advanced safety systems. This technology comes from companies like Nvidia.
◾ A microcontroller is a microprocessor with memory and programmable ports to control other devices. They are available through companies like Renesas, NXP, TI, STMicroelectronics
◾ Finally systems-on-Chips combine multiple components into a single chip. This can include CPU, GPU, memory and I/O interfaces even radio modems. Coming from Nvidia, Qualcomm, and others
It takes multiple types of advances packages designed for harsh environments to achieve the technology and user experience consumers are looking for in vehicles today.
Shaun Bowers explains what it takes for these processors to execute the tasks required for a vehicle and how this differs from the cell phone and supercomputer space. See also Shaun's post on "Why SDV is the honey badger of the automotive industry."

In 2016, the question of whether the car of the future would resemble a rolling smartphone or a rolling supercomputer was a hot topic. I presented on it in 2017. Qualcomm and Intel had different ideas, with Qualcomm pushing for the former and Intel for the latter. Today, it's worth revisiting that question and examining how the semiconductor industry will react.
When it comes to automotive applications, semiconductors will play a crucial role in at least three areas. First, wide band gap materials and packaging will lead to more efficient power delivery for electric vehicles. Second, heterogeneous integration will enable the massive compute needs for all vehicle autonomy levels and UX platforms. Lastly, the sensor and communication network inside and outside the automobile will ensure safety and security for occupants and their data.
It's worth noting that while some of this can be accomplished with your phone, the vehicle control and location functions are no where near what you need for an automobile. Nor can you simply tow a supercomputer behind you on a night out. Rather, it will require purposefully designed architectures that can operate at extreme temperatures for decades.
