Micron Technology, Inc. announced at CES 2019 that Mobileye has selected the company’s memory solutions to advance development of Mobileye’s fifth-generation EyeQ®5 system-on-chip (SoC)-based EPM5 platform for fully autonomous driving. Micron is the primary memory provider for Mobileye’s EPM5 platform and offers the industry’s broadest portfolio of memory and storage solutions. The two companies will work together to test and validate Micron’s portfolio of LPDRAM, Xccela™ NOR Flash and e.MMC memory solutions to accelerate the enablement of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) capabilities in Level 1–5 self-driving vehicles. Autonomous cars are dependent on various sensor technologies, including vision, LiDAR and radar, that generate vast amounts of data while sensing and classifying the vehicle’s environment. Fast processing of the gathered data is essential for ADAS to be able to act at speeds that are at times even faster than the human driver’s brain. This level of quick decision-making requires memory bandwidth in abundance to achieve the computational and data processing needed by ADAS in self-driving vehicles. In addition, Level 5 autonomous vehicles require enhanced active safety and collision avoidance systems that go beyond currently available features such as automatic emergency braking (AEB) and adaptive cruise control (ACC) to name a few. This increases demand for high-value memory solutions that are capable of meeting the data throughput performance requirements necessary for ADAS. Mobileye is developing its EyeQ5 SoC-based platform to serve as the central computer, performing vision and sensor fusion, as part of its effort to have fully autonomous driving vehicles on the road in 2020.
