California 11/16/2022 --   AMD (NASDAQ Stock: AMD) announced today that, AMD Xilinsi Car Class (XA) Zynq ®   The MPSoC platform has been selected to provide support for Aisin's Automatic Parking Assist (APA) system. The vehicle grade Zynq UltraScale+MPSoC platform is highly flexible and adaptable, supporting the next generation Aisin APA system to efficiently detect pedestrians, vehicles, and drivable areas with extremely low latency. The Aisin APA system will start shipping in the 2024 model.

The vehicle grade Zynq UltraScale+MPSoC platform is deployed within the camera of the Aisin APA system. This platform combines Arm based ®& nbsp; High performance multi-core, multiprocessing systems and ASIC programmable logic, the latter containing custom coprocessors that can be optimized to meet system requirements, including deep learning processor units for convolutional neural network (CNN) processing. This enables machine learning (ML) based scene segmentation and object detection for the Aisin APA system. The car grade Zynq MPSoC platform provides extremely high processing efficiency, which can offload key functions such as graphics and video pipelines to dedicated processing blocks to achieve low latency image processing.

The Aisin APA system uses 4 cameras and 12 ultrasonic sensors installed on the vehicle to identify the surrounding environment and calculate the driving route. Subsequently, the system will control the vehicle to automatically park based on the calculated route. In addition, when encountering collision risks, the Aisin APA system can also automatically execute automatic emergency braking.

Morito Oshita, President of Aisin Chassis and Vehicle Safety Systems, said, "Aisin's APA system uses complex artificial intelligence and requires a SoC that can provide high performance and low latency. These requirements have led us to choose the AMD Serenius Zynq UltraScale+MPSoC platform. The basic surround view system can solve some of the problems faced by manual parking for consumers, and the APA system can now greatly alleviate the pressure of parking in narrow parking spaces. We are pleased to start developing this solution and bringing it to consumers."

Hanneke Krekels, Vice President of AMD's Core Vertical Markets, said, "As the surround view system evolves from basic video stitching and graphic overlay that visually assists drivers to now vehicles being able to autonomously park using AI, we see a huge opportunity to meet the needs of this market through our flexible Zynq platform. Aisin leads the industry trend with its innovative approach, and the designed APA system can flexibly adjust specifications according to the specific needs of different car manufacturers. This fully demonstrates how AMD Zynq MPSoC's flexible adaptability provides an upgrade path for added feature functions in future designs."
