Full-scenario smart car: intelligence is everywhere | Xinchi debuts at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference

On July 6, the 2023 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) "From 'end' to 'cloud', bravely climbing the peak of 'core'" chip theme forum was successfully held at the Zhangjiang Science Hall in Pudong, Shanghai. This forum is hosted by the Shanghai Integrated Circuit Industry Association and hosted by the World Artificial Intelligence Conference Organizing Committee Office. Zhu Zhisong, member of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee and Secretary of the Pudong New Area Party Committee, Wu Jincheng, Director of the Shanghai Economic and Information Technology Commission, Ren Aiguang, Deputy Director of the Science and Technology Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Zhang Suxin, President of the Shanghai Integrated Circuit Industry Association, attended the meeting and delivered speeches.

Sun Mingle, CTO of Xinchi Technology, was invited to attend and deliver a keynote speech on "Full Scenario Smart Cars: Intelligence is Everywhere", sharing Xinchi's thoughts on new applications and opportunities for future automobile intelligence, and how to address all scenarios through Smart car chips address the challenges in this process.

Car relay mobile phones are becoming the core platform of the next generation of intelligent computing. According to media reports, China's smart car market is expected to reach one trillion yuan in size by 2025, which will bring huge opportunities to the automotive industry. Automotive practitioners are working hard to explore how to establish an architecture that is more suitable for the development of future smart cars so that more smart scenarios can be implemented.

Intelligence is everywhere

Autonomous driving is the first landing place of artificial intelligence in the automotive field. As artificial intelligence computing power continues to increase and algorithms advance, the accuracy of perception and positioning will continue to improve. We can use artificial intelligence technology to further optimize the vehicle's path planning, thereby making the autonomous driving function more intelligent. "Sun Mingle said.

In the future, smart cars will transform from cold means of transportation into warm and considerate close partners. When a car can truly achieve autonomous driving, the driver's attention can gradually be separated from driving and interact with the car in all aspects through vision, smell, touch, etc., including in-cabin entertainment display, HUD, smart rearview mirror, and Intelligent voice assistants can bring rich sensory enjoyment and driving experience to drivers and passengers. With the development of artificial intelligence technology, voice assistants continue to upgrade to intimate partners. In addition to passively completing instructions, they can also actively perceive people's emotions and even provide emotional value.

Car intelligence goes beyond smart driving and smart cockpits. For example, in the most important power battery part of new energy vehicles, the battery "butler" BMS (battery management system) plays a key role in ensuring the safe operation of electric vehicles and improving battery life. By accurately monitoring the battery status, the available capacity of the entire battery pack can be optimized, the battery life and cycle life can be improved, and the user's mileage anxiety can be alleviated; voltage, current, temperature, etc. can be accurately collected to detect potential risks as early as possible to ensure the safety of the power battery. . With the help of powerful computing power and complex algorithms, we can accurately monitor all cells of the battery to achieve the required functions.

The key cornerstone of automobile intelligence is the underlying car-standard chip. As a leading all-scenario intelligent car core company, Xinchi Technology has an early insight into the needs of automobile intelligence and has deployed four series of products: intelligent cockpit X9, intelligent driving V9, central gateway G9 and high-performance MCU E3, which will play a key role in the three aspects of future automobile intelligence. The general direction smart cabin, smart driving and smart control form the coverage of the whole scene.

Meet the challenge,Embrace the full-scenario smart car

Because cars are different from mobile phones, the industrial chain is complex and involves many functions and multiple operating systems in the process of becoming intelligent. Therefore, safety and ecology are important challenges in the process of making cars intelligent.

First of all, cars involve the safety of human life and property. In the process of making cars smart, safety and reliability must be ensured. For chips, this is especially reflected in AEC-Q100 reliability and ISO 26262 functional safety.

Xinchi Technology has passed AEC-Q100 reliability certification, ASIL D management system certification, ASIL B functional safety product certification and national secret and commercial secret certification. It is the first domestic automotive chip company to complete the "four certificates in one" . Currently, Xinchi’s SoC chips have reached the ASIL B functional safety level, and its high-reliability MCU has reached the ASIL D level. Xinchi Technology is also the first automotive chip company in China to obtain the National Secret Level II certification.

In addition, Xinchi Technology works closely with more than 200 partners in the ecological field, including operating systems, virtualization, tools, protocol stacks, and human-machine interfaces. Smart cars have multiple screens and multiple operating systems, and these operating systems have different characteristics. For example, entertainment systems usually use Android and need to have rich multimedia functions. Instruments and ADAS usually use Linux/QNX because security requirements are higher and these systems need to be independent of each other. In addition to these three major systems, smart cars also need to include a real-time operating system running AUTOSAR and a security operating system running on HSM to support information security.

On the basis of providing high-performance, high-reliability, full-scenario automotive chips and establishing an automotive ecosystem, Xinchi Technology has in-depth exchanges and explorations with the automotive industry. At this year’s Shanghai Auto Show, Corechi Technology released an architecture designed for future smart cars—— Xinchi central computing architecture SCCA2.0.

This architecture consists of 6 units. The first is a high-performance central computing unit. As the brain of the future car, it realizes intelligent cockpit, autonomous driving, vehicle body control, and provides functions such as high-speed network interaction and storage sharing services. ; The high-reliability intelligent vehicle control unit serves as the integrated controller of the chassis domain and power domain, realizing the integration and intelligent control of chassis and power; the 4 regional controllers realize data interaction and various control functions in the four physical areas in the car; The six core units are interconnected using 10G/1Gbps high-performance vehicle Ethernet and adopt a redundant architecture, which not only ensures low-latency and high-traffic data exchange, but also ensures security.

Sun Mingle said that Xinchi is very honored to participate in the intelligentization process of automobiles and hopes to cooperate with colleagues in the industry to make its own contribution to the development of artificial intelligence and automobile intelligence!
