Kodiak Robotics Selects Ambarella AI Domain Controller SoC For Next-Generation Autonomous Trucks
02 Januar 2024 - 11:00AM
Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor company,
and Kodiak Robotics, Inc., a leading autonomous vehicle company
focused on trucking and defense, today announced that Kodiak
selected Ambarella’s CV3-AD685 AI domain control system-on-chip
(SoC) as a complete embedded compute solution for its
next-generation autonomous vehicles. This SoC provides a complete
embedded solution for Kodiak’s multi-sensor perception, fusion and
path planning—running neural networks while processing multiple
cameras, lidars and radars.
Building on the success of the companies’ current partnership,
Kodiak has already logged over 300,000 miles on Ambarella’s CV2 AI
perception SoC while delivering over 875 loads, demonstrating that
Kodiak Driver with help from the Ambarella hardware can withstand
the rigorous environment of highway trucking. The CV2 has enabled
premium image quality through rain, fog and darkness—ensuring that
Kodiak delivers freight for its customers safely and on time.
Kodiak’s next-generation self-driving truck platform will
utilize the CV3-AD685 SoC to optimize hardware cost, reliability,
size and robustness, while improving safety and performance.
Designed with Ambarella’s “algorithm first” philosophy, this 5nm
SoC is purpose-built to provide a high-performance compute solution
in the smallest form factor, which enables Kodiak’s modular
autonomous vehicle platform hardware across a wide variety of
environmental conditions.
“The CV3-AD685 enables the Kodiak Driver, Kodiak’s autonomous
system, to turn sensor data into actionable insight with lower
latency, lower power consumption, and higher reliability,” said Don
Burnette, Kodiak’s Founder and CEO. “We are excited to exhibit a
Kodiak autonomous truck at Ambarella’s invitation-only event during
CES for the second year in a row, demonstrating how our partnership
furthers the mission of autonomous trucking.”
“We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Kodiak as we
pave the way together for the future of autonomous trucking,” said
Fermi Wang, President and CEO at Ambarella. “Our CV3-AD685 SoC
provides the autonomous vehicle industry with the processing
performance needed to set new benchmarks in AI-based autonomous
safety, efficiency and innovation.”
The Ambarella CV3-AD685 AI domain controller offers a unique
combination of highly efficient AI processing, advanced image
signal processing and ultra-low power consumption. Its
next-generation CVflow® AI engine includes a neural vector
processor engine that is 20x faster than the previous generation of
CV2 SoCs, along with a general vector processor to provide the
overall performance needed for full autonomous driving stacks.
