Cheshi 65438+1October 27th news, this afternoon, Zero Run Auto officially released the first automotive AI intelligent driving chip with completely independent intellectual property rights-Lingxin 0 1 chip.

Lingxin 0 1 chip is jointly developed by Zhejiang Xinsheng Electronics (formerly zhejiang dahua Science and Technology Chip Department) and Zero Run Automobile. At the Guangzhou Auto Show, which will open next month, C 1 1, the third production model of Zero Run, will be equipped with LeapPilot based on Lingxin 0 1. 3.0 Intelligent driving system.

Zhu, founder and chairman of Zero Run Automobile

Zhu, the founder and chairman of Zero Run Car, said at the scene that the intelligent driving system equipped with Zero Run C 1 1 has been able to complete L3-level automatic driving in terms of hardware computing power, and five millimeter-wave radars, an external 10 camera, an internal 12 ultrasonic radar and a 1 camera constitute a sensing system.

First, Lingxin 0 1 autopilot chip release? Have completely independent intellectual property rights.

Zhu believes that intelligent driving is the commanding height of electric vehicles in the future. At present, the wave of "new four modernizations" of automobile is coming, and intelligent network connection and intelligent driving system have become the trend of automobile development in the future.

Among them, many functions of intelligent network can be easily upgraded and software functions can be quickly deployed. However, intelligent driving involves multiple tests such as hardware, software and algorithms, which is no small challenge for both car companies and chip companies.

Lingxin 0 1 chip released by Zero Run Automobile

Therefore, the zero-run car began to develop smart driving chips three years ago, and now the first mass-produced product Lingxin 0 1 chip is officially unveiled.

Lingxin 0 1 This SoC adopts a flat-headed Gexuan Iron C860 dual-core 32-bit CPU with the highest frequency of 1GHz, and supports floating-point execution units and VDSP vector operations. This chip does not use the common ARM processor, which is the consideration of the independent chip.

Neural network processor is very important for automatic driving and is an important factor for vehicles to identify the surrounding environment. Lingxin 0 1 adopts an 8-core neural network processor, with a maximum computing power of 4.2TOPS, and integrates hardware acceleration modules such as scaling, normalization and average reduction.

After being assembled into a domain controller, there are PCIex2 channels, USB3.0, GAMC controllers, and the maximum is 1000Mbps.

With such a powerful hardware blessing, Lingxin 0 1 can realize 12 H.265? 1080P@25fps or 6-channel H.264? 1080P@25fps video decoding.

It is understood that at this year's1October 20th 165438+ Guangzhou Auto Show, Zero Run will officially release its first SUV model-Zero Run C 1 1, which will be equipped with Lingxin 0 1 chip for the first time.

Zero run C 1 1 will match LeapPilot? 3.0 Driver assistance system, equipped with two Lingxin 0 1 chips, which are redundant to each other, lays the computing hardware foundation for L3 autopilot.

On the external sensing hardware, Zero Run C 1 1 is equipped with 10 external cameras, including forward-looking binocular cameras, 4 ring cameras and 4 front and rear blind zone cameras. There is also a camera in the car, which can monitor the driver's driving status.

In addition, it is equipped with 1 forward millimeter-wave radar, four millimeter-wave angle radars and 12 ultrasonic radar, which together form a zero-run C 1 1 sensing system.

In the ADAS system, no matter the AI processing chip, camera chip or radar chip, Zero Run C 1 1 is a supplier with independent intellectual property rights, Lingxin 0 1 is from Zhejiang Xinsheng Electronics, the camera chip is from Aowei Group and the radar chip is from microelectronics, which realizes the complete independent intellectual property rights of the intelligent driving core chip.

In addition to ADAS system, the zero-run car also insists on self-research on the three major parts of electric vehicles-electric drive, battery and electronic control system. Zero-run platform S, platform T and platform C have developed their own three electric systems.

At the end of the conference, Zhu put forward the goal of zero-running cars in the field of intelligent driving: in the future, he will increase investment in software algorithms and surpass Tesla in the field of intelligent driving.

So, how to achieve it?

Zhu said that Zhejiang Xinsheng Electronics, which designs and manufactures Lingxin 0 1 chips, has been making license plate recognition system in zhejiang dahua since 2008 and has been in the field of intelligent transportation for many years. At the same time, Dahua Technology has also accumulated a lot of technologies in the field of face AI recognition, and has led the world in some fields.

He said that it was only a matter of time before Zero Run cooperated with Zhejiang Xinsheng Electronics, and R&D resources were invested in the field of intelligent driving, adapting to the characteristics of China roads and surpassing Tesla in the field of intelligent driving.

Second, the two ministries encourage independent research and development of autonomous driving systems? The core technology needs to be firmly mastered.

After the press conference, Wang Binggang, director of the Technical Committee of the Electric Passenger Car Technology Innovation Alliance of the Ministry of Science and Technology, delivered a speech. He said that the current automobile industry is rapidly developing intelligent driving, but it needs to be more practical.

High-level autonomous driving has been tested, and now we should focus on low-level auxiliary driving, because it is directly related to driving safety. Things that have the greatest impact on safety should be solved first in the industry.

At the same time, Wang Binggang encourages independent brands to make their own intelligent driving systems. He said that China's automobile industry is developing very rapidly, but part of the reason is that parts companies provide complete vehicle solutions, and the core technology is not owned by automobile companies themselves, so they must firmly grasp it in their own hands.

Wei Wu, director of the Mechanical Equipment Division of the Industrial Development Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, also attended today's event. He said that at the beginning of this year, 1 1 ministries and commissions jointly issued an innovative development strategy for smart cars. Recently, the the State Council executive meeting passed the development plan of new energy automobile industry, which shows that the development of China's automobile industry in the fields of intelligence and electrification is more firm, and the energy accumulated in these fields for many years is waiting to break out.

In the future, cars made in China will have the most new technologies and innovations in the world, and will surely lead the global automobile industry.

At the same time, the competition in the field of automobile chips is also extremely fierce. Compared with the chips of consumer electronic products, automotive chips require higher security and stability, which is a common problem faced by the chip industry and an opportunity for chip enterprises in China.

Conclusion: Self-developed technology makes zero running more competitive.

Zero-run car is the first self-developed autopilot chip among domestic new car-making enterprises. The zero sports car C 1 1 equipped with this chip will be released next month. The rapid progress of zero-run cars in the field of autonomous driving has also been recognized by users.

Statistics show that the sales of two mass-produced models of zero-run cars have gradually increased since July this year. In September, the sales exceeded 1000, and 10 is expected to exceed 1.600 in October. A large number of independent research and development technologies make the zero-run car-making force more competitive.
