New ADAS technology debuts in the all-new
Subaru Levorg for the Japanese market
Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced that its technology
is powering the new version of Subaru’s vision-based advanced
driver-assistance system (ADAS), EyeSight. Integrated into the
all-new Subaru Levorg, the new EyeSight system will provide
advanced features including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep
assist and pre-collision braking, putting best-in-class safety
technology into the hands of consumers.
“At Subaru, we continuously strive to make the Subaru brand
prominent in our customers’ hearts and minds by focusing our
efforts on providing ‘Enjoyment and Peace of Mind,’ and we believe
ADAS is one of the technologies that will help us achieve that
goal,” said Tetsuo Fujinuki, chief technology officer, Subaru
Corporation. “Stereo cameras are at the heart of Subaru’s ADAS
applications. Unlike common approaches, the image processing
technology adopted in our new generation system scans everything
captured by stereo cameras and creates high-precision 3D point
clouds, enabling us to offer advanced features such as
pre-collision braking at an intersection and assisting with
hands-off driving in traffic congestion on a highway. Xilinx
technology plays an important role in this. Because Xilinx
automotive devices contain built-in capabilities that allow us to
meet strict ASIL requirements, they are unquestionably the best
technology to implement Subaru’s new ADAS vision system.”
The Xilinx® Automotive-qualified (XA) Zynq® UltraScale+™
multi-processor system-on-a-chip (MPSoC) 16 nanometer technology
provides the high-performance, ultra-low latency, and functional
safety (ASIL) capabilities that EyeSight requires to accurately
depict and react to dynamic driving scenarios.
“We are excited to see Xilinx automotive devices enabling the
new generation of automotive safety for Subaru,” said Yousef
Khalilollahi, vice president of sales, Asia-Pacific region, Xilinx.
“Subaru’s name has long been synonymous with road safety and
reliability, and we’re proud that our XA products have been
selected to continue our shared vision of providing drivers with
the most advanced safety features on the market.”
