Descripción del proyecto
Procesadores más potentes para unos vehículos autónomos
En 2024 habrá más de 1,5 millones de vehículos automatizados condicionalmente en Europa que permitirán a los conductores prestar menos atención a la carretera, cediendo el control al sistema. Esta automatización está clasificada como de nivel 3, un paso previo a los vehículos autónomos (nivel 5). Los vehículos completamente autónomos (que ofrezcan un rendimiento equivalente al de un conductor humano) requerirán una potencia de procesamiento considerablemente superior. Los microprocesadores actuales no permiten alcanzar dicha potencia: ofrecen un elevado rendimiento con una baja eficacia energética o un bajo consumo eléctrico con un bajo rendimiento. El proyecto financiado con fondos europeos XPU desarrollará una solución de estructura modular para alcanzar un alto rendimiento con un bajo consumo eléctrico. El objetivo es alcanzar un equilibrio entre rendimiento, seguridad y consumo eléctrico.
Objetivo
According to Frost & Sullivan (2017), https://store.frost.com/global-autonomous-driving-market-outlook-2018.html in 2024 there will be in Europe more than 1.5 million cars which will have at least conditional automation with each car requiring an average of about 2000€ in chips to enable automatic driving. Thus the total available market in Europe will reach 3000M€ in 5 years with a robust CAGR of 30%. Markets in USA and China will be of similar size.
The requirements for Level 5 autonomous cars (fully-autonomous vehicles with performance equal to that of a human driver in every driving scenario including extreme environments) will require substantially high processing power not currently available with today’s microprocessors. Processors in future cars not only must deliver increasing higher computing power but also they must do so as efficiently (low-power) as possible given strict automotive safely constraints. Furthermore, fully-autonomous cars require robust real-time features and dynamic balance between safety, performance and power. In contrast, current microprocessors are either high-performance but are not power efficient (e.g. Intel), or are low-power but unable to reach top performance (e.g. ARM), and generally do not have a strong real-time capability. These key bottlenecks are hindering advances towards fully automated vehicles. MOSAIK has defined a novel modular architecture designed from the ground-up to solve these urgent challenges.
To keep European Industry leadership (https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/automotive-and-assembly/our-insights/a-long-term-vision-for-the-european-automotive-industry) setting the framework for car connectivity and user experience is a must. And to do so European industry needs a European Semiconductor company able to reach very high-performance at low power and provide the balance between performance, security and power consumption the industry is asking for.
