What is an autopilot domain controller?

The so-called autopilot domain controller of the Pacific Car Network not only undertakes the data processing and computing capabilities required for autopilot, including but not limited to the data processing of millimeter-wave radar, camera, lidar, GPS, inertial navigation and other devices, but also undertakes the security of the underlying core data and networked data under autopilot. As the hub, the automatic driving domain controller is the link between the preceding and the following, which serves the intelligence of the automobile well.

On June 8th, 20 18, Yuhuan Zhixing released the TITANIII domain controller in Shanghai Auto City, which can meet the L4 level of autonomous driving, and is specially designed for OEM, Tier 1 and autonomous driving companies, providing them with reliable, stable and high computing power platform support. At the same time, the company also announced the regulations for self-developed high-definition cameras for automobiles.

The second generation autopilot controller with vehicle code level was born in the third quarter of 20 17. With two TX2s, L3 automatic driving function can be basically realized through external wireless routing, CAN switching module and network switching module.

Based on this platform, the company connects 4 WILDEN 16 line laser radars (or 1 Taiwan 16 line WILDEN +2 40-line laser radars of Wosai Technology)+camera+positioning+millimeter wave radar to realize L3-level automatic driving, including multi-car following and bicycle tracking.

The newly released third-generation domain controller uses four TX2s, which has stronger computing power and higher integration. It can support 12 cameras (running 6 channels of deep learning vision at the same time) and 2 channels of lidar point cloud data with 40 lines +4 lines 16 lines (data volume >; 2 million points/second).

Infineon MCU is used to monitor the working state of sensors and computing units. When there is an abnormal situation, send an alarm signal and degrade driving according to the situation.

Monitor the power status. When the voltage signal can't meet the working requirements of each module, the power management module sends an alarm signal, and the product has completed the 7×24 hour high and low temperature test.

According to different users, different versions are introduced, one is IT version for developers and the other is OEM version for OEMs (in line with IS026262).

According to the plan, at the end of 20 18, we will also launch the high-quality content of Bohang, a hard-core silver award institution based on FPGA-LV2 fans follow the author's homepage at level 459.
