DUBLIN, March 14, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Intelligent Vehicle Cockpit-driving Integration (Cockpit-driving-parking) Industry Report, 2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

At present, EEA is developing from the distributed type to domain centralization and cross-domain fusion. The trend for internal and external integration of domain controllers, especially the integration of two core domains, intelligent driving domain and cockpit domain, becomes clearer. Against this background, three main integration forms come out: driving-parking integration, cockpit-parking integration and cockpit-driving integration.

Given this, the publisher released the Intelligent Vehicle Cockpit-driving Integration (Cockpit-driving-parking) Industry Report, 2024, aiming to comprehensively comb through cockpit-driving-parking integration and summarize the development directions of the industry.

Driving-parking integration: Since wide adoption in 2023, driving-parking integration solutions have been mounted on nearly 70 vehicle models of more than 30 manufacturers. According to the statistics of the publisher, from January to November 2023 driving-parking integration solutions were installed in over 1.4 million vehicles in China, a like-on-like surge of 38.0%. The figure is expected to hit more than 3 million in 2025.

Cockpit-parking integration: In the stage of commercial exploration, high-compute chips such as Qualcomm 8155/8295, SiEngine Longying No.1 and SemiDrive X9SP have been the first to be used. On this basis, Bosch, Aptiv, Visteon, Desay SV, ECARX, Yuanfeng Technology and BICV, among others have launched cockpit-parking integration solutions, some of which have been designated by or mass-produced for OEMs for their models like Lynk & Co 08. During 2024-2025, cockpit-parking integration will find massive application in vehicles.

Cockpit-driving integration: The hardware foundation is basically in place. For example, NVIDIA Drive Thor and Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride Flex, with computing power up to 2000TOPS, enable the integration of intelligent driving and in-cabin algorithms on a single chip, and support isolation among multiple computing domains. Cockpit-driving integration has begun to be accelerated in the second half of 2023 and is expected to be mass-produced and applied in 2025.

Driving-parking integration means the original independent driving and parking controllers are integrated into a domain controller, lowering costs while supporting more and higher-level intelligent driving functions.

In recent two years, the booming driving-parking integration has attracted OEMs, Tier1 suppliers, intelligent driving companies, algorithm companies, software companies and chip companies to make layout. Two main reasons stand out: first, driven by cost, integrating driving and parking ECUs on the same domain controller can reduce a lot of hardware costs; second, as the demand for intelligence increases, driving-parking integration allows for computing resource sharing and deep sensor multiplexing, and improves intelligent driving experiences for users via unified OTA updates.

By computing power, driving-parking integration is roughly divided into three levels: low (5-10 TOPS), medium (10-100 TOPS), and high (100+ TOPS). In 2023, OEMs are in urgent need of cost reduction, so that Tier 1 suppliers of driving-parking integration have played the 'ultimately cost-effective' card to facilitate market segmentation.

There are two main ways: first, they expand to low computing power (5-10TOPS) by squeezing chip computing power and working hard on algorithms; second, vendors who originally aimed at the high-end market above 200TOPS no longer "stack up" but strengthen algorithms and software technologies to balance the performance and cost of high-level driving-parking integration.

In October 2023, Haomo.AI released the 2nd-generation HPilot system, including three driving-parking integration solutions - HP170, HP370 and HP570, which cover high-, medium- and low-level scenarios and are scheduled to be mass-produced in 2024.

Zhang Kai, the president of Haomo.AI, said that the three passenger car driving assistance products of the 2nd-generation HPilot drag down price but improve performance, making medium- and high-level intelligent driving cheaper and easier to use. Compared with the first-generation HP550 (based on Qualcomm Snapdragon Ride with the computing power of 360TOPS, it can be connected to LiDAR, etc. to achieve urban NOA), HP570 reduces costs by two-thirds without compromising on performance.

In addition, Tier 1 suppliers, such as Hong Jing Drive, iMotion, Freetech, and NavInfo, are sparing no effort to promote the 'extremely cost-effective' products. Most of them make layout in the low-compute and low-to-mid-end markets to seize the dividend of large-scale application.

In February 2023, Freetech introduced a single-SOC low-compute driving-parking integration solution (based on TDA4M, 8TOPS, 5V5R configuration), with cost controlled within RMB3,000, including sensors, domain controllers, algorithms, etc.

By the end of 2023, Hong Jing Drive's driving-parking integration solution (time-division multiplexing) based on a single J3 chip from Horizon Robotics has been production-ready. With the computing power of 5TOPS, self-developed parking perception, and planning and control algorithms, it can be connected to 5R5V12U (supporting 8MP front view) to enable functions such as automatic lane change and large vehicle avoidance. The total cost of the solution amounts to RMB3,000.

Quite a few companies deploy cockpit-parking integration, and ECARX is a pioneer in application.

In 2023, while driving-parking integration became popular, cockpit-parking integration has been quietly emerging.

In addition to parking functions, cockpit-parking integration also integrates cockpit functions, and uses cockpit GPU resources to provide rendering capabilities for AVM and APA, so as to reduce costs and improve efficiency. Currently Bosch, Aptiv, Visteon, ECARX, Desay SV, Yuanfeng Technology, and BICV among others have launched cockpit-parking integration solutions.

ECARX is strategically invested by Geely. In September, 2023, ECARX first installed Antora 1000 Pro computing platform on Lynk & Co 08. Launched in March 2023, this platform is ECARX's first cockpit-parking integration computing platform. It integrates two Longying No.1 chips, with NPU compute up to 16TOPS. It can provide L2 driving assistance, automated parking assist (APA), remote parking assist (RPA) and other functions while supporting cockpit entertainment interaction.

Antora 1000 Pro, an equivalent of Qualcomm 8155, features 200K DMIPS CPU, 1800G FLOPS GPU, up to 16TOPS (INT8) NPU, and SE-LINK customized by SiEngine.

Established in 2018, SiEngine is a joint venture between ECARX and ARM China. Longying No.1 used in Antora 1000 Pro was developed by SiEngine independently and released in March 2023, as the first 7nm automotive chip in China. It has built in 8 CPU cores, 14 GPU cores, an 8TOPS (INT8) programmable NPU, an ASIL-D security island, and a high-performance encryption and decryption engine. It supports 7 4K/2K different independent screens and 12 2/3MP cameras.

Based on a single Longying No.1 chip, SiEngine has developed a cockpit-parking integration solution to bolster a full-featured intelligent cockpit with four 4K/2K screens, without additional ECU and perception system for automated parking expansions such as RPA/HPA. Compared with conventional solutions, this solution can save RMB700-1,200.

Cockpit-driving integration takes the fast road, and is expected to go into mass production in 2025.

Cockpit-driving integration means the cockpit and intelligent driving domains are integrated into a high-performance computing unit to support both intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit functions simultaneously. It is considered the future development direction.

So far, NVIDIA, Qualcomm and Black Sesame Technologies among others have launched high-compute chips to support computing across intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit domains.

NVIDIA: with computing power up to 2000TOPS, a single Drive Thor chip fuses intelligent driving and in-cabin algorithms, and supports isolation among multiple computing domains. It is scheduled to be mass-produced for ZEEKR in 2025. At CES 2024, Li Auto indicated that it will use DRIVE Thor.

Qualcomm: With computing power up to 2000TOPS, a single Snapdragon Ride Flex (8775) SoC supports multi-domain fusion computing of cockpit and autonomous driving. At present, ThunderX, Megatronix and Autolink World are developing cockpit-driving integration products and solutions based on this platform.

Since the second half of 2023, the pace of development and application of cockpit-driving integration have quickened, and Baidu, ThunderX, Autolink World, Bosch and Aptiv have launched single-SoC cockpit-driving integration products or solutions. This will favor the rapid adoption of cockpit-driving integration, which is expected to be applied on a large scale after 2025.
