Aptiv’s new generation of high-performance smart cockpit platform reaches mass production

Shanghai, China - Recently, at the 2023 China Automotive Supply Chain Summit and the 8th Lingxuan Award Ceremony, Aptiv, a global technology company committed to future mobility, won this year's Lingxuan Award for its new generation of high-performance smart cockpit platform. . Previously, the platform also won the 2023 China Supply Chain Top 100 Golden Edition Award. Aptiv's new generation of high-performance smart cockpit platform has taken the lead in achieving mass production on China's mainstream independent brand models. It is the world's first smart cockpit platform equipped with the latest generation of top-level automotive-grade chips .

Tang Haiyi, President of Aptiv's Active Safety and User Experience Division in China, said: "Chinese consumers pay more attention to the user experience of the cockpit, which makes vehicle companies need very powerful and advanced systems when building cockpits. As the "brain" of the cockpit, "Aptiv's latest generation of high-performance smart cockpit platform has superior advanced algorithms and powerful core computing capabilities, which can provide powerful central processing for the cockpit. The platform was independently developed by Aptiv's local team and its market-leading development speed It can better meet the needs of the Chinese market and help vehicle companies create more intelligent and connected mobile travel platforms.”

In terms of platform high computing power, Aptiv’s new generation of high-performance smart cockpit platform has an NPU computing power of up to 30TOPS, which is 7.5 times that of the previous generation cockpit platform and 2 times that of Apple A15. Compared with the previous generation platform, the CPU and GPU are respectively improved. to 2x and 3x.

The new generation of Aptiv smart cockpit platform supports 8K large screens, can host up to 12 display screens, supports multi-screen linkage in full-screen scenarios, and implements a cockpit domain controller to drive the display application scenarios of the entire vehicle, such as instrument panels, center screens, etc. Control screen, passenger screen, rear seat screen and control screen, etc. The system can support holographic projection and augmented reality, bringing a cross-generational and higher-tech cockpit experience.

Relying on the platform's powerful GPU computing capabilities, Aptiv's smart cockpit platform can support full-scenario 3D HMI, 3D navigation, large-scale game boarding, etc. It can sense and render environmental dynamics in real time, such as weather, construction and traffic conditions. It not only truly and accurately restores the conditions outside the car, but also greatly improves the safety of driving in environments with poor visibility, such as at night, rainy and foggy days.

Through the enhancement of AI computing power, the platform also supports cross-domain integration, such as the integration of the cockpit domain and the AD AS domain. The software integrates core functional domains such as smart cockpit, smart driving, and networked services, allowing for sharing of computing power and perception. , service sharing, thereby improving driving safety, driving efficiency and driving comfort. Through these integrations, Aptiv can simplify the vehicle E/E architecture, help the vehicle reduce costs, provide more efficient communications, and bring users a more convenient travel experience.

The platform has high integration capabilities and can tailor and expand functions according to different needs of customers. Whether it is integrating T-BOX technology, AR function integration, E-Mirror integration, cabin and berthing integration, or integrating gateway and other functions, the platform can be flexibly integrated to meet the personalized needs of customers.

Aptiv's high-performance smart cockpit platform has stable and reliable software and hardware systems and mature software solutions. After testing in the million-level market and continuous software iteration, it has developed and supported software for mass production of many customers' projects. Aptiv's safe and reliable software and hardware solutions have passed hardware, software, process certification , and ISO26262 functional safety certification, and meet information security standards, providing comprehensive protection in terms of user data encryption, storage security, and vehicle-to-cloud security.

As automobile connectivity continues to deepen, automobiles have become the next important entry point into the era of Internet of Everything, and advanced smart cockpits are gradually becoming standard features and important differentiating features of automobiles. Aptiv's new generation of high-performance smart cockpit platform can be flexibly integrated into cars of different brands and models, whether they are traditional fuel vehicles or new energy vehicles, and can be adapted. This can help vehicle companies launch customized smart cockpit solutions in different markets to meet different customer needs and provide diversified empowerment for partners. In the future, Aptiv will continue to upgrade the smart cockpit platform and continuously introduce advanced technologies, such as artificial intelligence , deep learning and big data into the car, to further enhance the capabilities and user experience of the smart cockpit.
