Kodiak Robotics Equips Autonomous Trucks With Ambarella AI System-on-Chip
04 January 2023 - 09:00PM
Kodiak Robotics, Inc., a leading self-driving trucking company,
today announced a partnership with Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA),
an edge AI semiconductor company, to integrate Ambarella’s CV2AQ AI
perception system-on-chip (SoC) into its self-driving trucks for
all camera data processing. To kick off the partnership publicly,
Kodiak will exhibit one of its self-driving trucks at Ambarella’s
demo event in Las Vegas during the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show
(CES).
“Our focus on building the world’s safest and most reliable
self-driving trucks requires us to seek out the best partners,”
said Don Burnette, Founder and CEO, Kodiak. “Ambarella’s track
record in building some of the market’s most advanced processors
makes it an ideal partner for Kodiak. Ambarella’s focus on ADAS and
autonomous technologies aligns our roadmaps even more closely.
Lastly, Ambarella’s proven supply chain adds the confidence that
its technology will be available to us when we need it.”
Taking a safety-first approach, Kodiak continually evaluates
technologies and hardware that enhance its self-driving system. By
incorporating the Ambarella CV2AQ SoC in Kodiak’s self-driving
system, Kodiak is optimizing its camera data processing
capabilities. The CV2AQ includes Ambarella’s proprietary CVflow® AI
engine, and provides industry-leading AI performance per watt along
with advanced imaging capabilities.
“We are excited to be working with Kodiak, to showcase our
cutting-edge CV2AQ SoC family in their autonomous long-haul
trucks,” said Fermi Wang, President and CEO, Ambarella. “We are
providing the trucking industry with the processors it requires to
commercialize higher levels of autonomy, and with Kodiak as a
partner, we’re confident in our ability to serve this vital segment
of the emerging self-driving industry.”
Kodiak is also exploring the integration of Ambarella’s new
CV3-AD AI domain controller SoC family as a complete embedded
compute solution for its next generation of autonomous trucks. The
CV3-AD family provides single-chip processing for multi-sensor
perception—including high-resolution camera, radar and lidar—as
well as deep fusion for multiple sensor modalities and AV path
planning.
