CES 2024: Will Aptiv’s multi-domain converged computing platform subvert automobile intelligence?

At the just-concluded CES 2024 Consumer Electronics Show, Aptiv demonstrated its latest multi-domain converged computing platform to the world. This is the first cross-domain converged computing platform based on China's local high-performance single system-level chip. It can At the same time, it meets the needs of the three control domains of intelligent cockpit, intelligent assisted driving and automatic parking, achieving a high degree of integration and optimization of software and hardware, and providing a one-stop solution for vehicle customers.

Multi-domain integrated computing is an inevitable trend in the development of automobile intelligence. It can simplify the electronic and electrical architecture of the entire vehicle, improve computing efficiency, reduce costs, and improve user experience. At present, there are two main technical routes for multi-domain converged computing. One is a multi-chip integration solution composed of multiple SoCs or MCUs, and the other is a single-chip solution that uses one SoC to complete different functions. Aptiv's multi-domain converged computing platform adopts the latter, using its independently developed high-performance single system-level chip to achieve a multi-domain converged single-chip solution with significant performance and cost advantages.

Aptiv's multi-domain converged computing platform not only achieves innovation in hardware, but also adopts advanced technical solutions in software. The computing platform is based on the lightweight isolation solution of Wind River Linux container architecture, which realizes software and hardware decoupling, reducing architecture complexity and development time. At the same time, the computing platform also uses Wind River’s high-real-time and high-security VxWorks operating system. It is the industry’s first and only real-time operating system that supports containerization, ensuring cross-platform and environment security. Compatibility and ease of use. Equipped with the Wind River container architecture and operating system, Aptiv's multi-domain converged computing platform can achieve high security, high real-time performance, high reusability, high scalability and high flexibility.

Dr. Yang Xiaoming, President of Aptiv China and Asia Pacific, said in an interview: "The Aptiv integrated cabin, parking and berthing integrated solution is built by the Aptiv China R&D team based on local system-level high-performance chips, which can better utilize local With the advantages of specialized development and delivery, we can quickly respond to market demand and bring more comprehensive performance improvements and cost advantages to vehicle customers through overall solutions integrating software and hardware. Our multi-domain converged computing platform has been awarded by many domestic With the recognition and adoption of well-known foreign automobile manufacturers, we will continue to work with our partners to promote the development of automobile intelligence."

It is understood that Aptiv's multi-domain converged computing platform has achieved mass production in multiple projects, including the Haopu Hyper GT model owned by GAC Aian and the Audi A8L model of FAW-Volkswagen. In addition, Aptiv has established in-depth cooperative relationships with Geely Automobile, SAIC Motor, BYD and other OEMs to jointly explore application scenarios and innovative models for multi-domain converged computing.

Aptiv's multi-domain converged computing platform is a highlight at the CES 2024 Consumer Electronics Show. It demonstrates Aptiv's technical strength and market leadership in the field of automotive intelligence, and also demonstrates the innovation capabilities and development of China's automotive electronics industry. potential. Aptiv's multi-domain converged computing platform deserves the attention and choice of automobile manufacturers and consumers. It will bring more possibilities and value to automobile intelligence.
