SAN FRANCISCO — While AI processors and AI-ready SoCs are getting all the attention from the investment community because they are deemed critical to emerging highly automated vehicles, what about FPGAs? Where do they stand in the AI silicon race?
In a move to reaffirm its long-standing contributions to the automotive industry and future roles that FPGAs are expected to play inside autonomous vehicles, Xilinx disclosed a collaboration with Daimler AG to develop “ultra-efficient AI solutions” for future Mercedes-Benz models.
According to the two companies, Daimler is building an “in-car system” using Xilinx technology for AI processing in automotive applications.
