A strategic partnership has been established between Tensor and Arm, focusing on the development of a new compute architecture for an innovative autonomous vehicle known as the Robocar. This collaboration is noteworthy as it aims to include over 400 Arm-based cores in each unit, representing the highest density of such technology in a consumer vehicle to date.
Set for global commercialization later this year, the Robocar will feature advanced Level 4 autonomy, leveraging Arm’s extensive software ecosystem with more than 22 million developers. Tensor's vehicle is designed around a unique architecture that emphasizes embodied intelligence, incorporating a comprehensive array of sensors, including 37 cameras, five lidars, 11 radars, and 22 microphones for enhanced environmental awareness.
The integration of Arm's compute platform allows Tensor to efficiently distribute processing power from its onboard supercomputer to various sensors, ensuring compliance with strict automotive safety and performance standards. Additionally, the Robocar is equipped with 433 Arm cores, including Neoverse® AE for AI tasks, Cortex®-X for system control, and Cortex-A for operational functionalities.
