Leapmotor (HKEX: 09863), a technology-driven intelligent electric vehicle company with a full suite of R&D capabilities, and Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), an edge AI semiconductor company, recentlysigneda strategic cooperation agreement. The two companies will focus on creating a first-class intelligent driving experience forthe global new energy vehicle market.
As part of this cooperation agreement, Leapmotor committed to creatingan advanced intelligent driving solution based on Ambarella’s powerful CV3-AD family of automotive AI domain controller systems-on-chip (SoCs). Leapmotor will work to achieve the technical verification and installation of the CV3-AD SoCs on new passenger-vehicle models, further providing users with an affordable and superior intelligent electric vehicle.
Ambarella’s CV3-AD is a family ofscalable, high-performance and low-power AI domain control SoCs based on a5nm automotive-gradeprocess technology. Additionally, they comply with ASIL-B/D functional safety standards. Not only do these SoCssupport a wide variety of centrally processed environmental sensing suites, but theyalso integrate a high-quality image signal processor forultra-low latency, low noise and high dynamic range imagesin both computer vision and human viewing. The CV3-AD SoC family also provides hardware AI acceleration and centralized fusion of raw LiDAR and millimeter-wave radar data, while leaving ample AI and compute performancefor additional algorithm design and deployment. Working closely with the Ambarella team, Leapmotor confirmed the specifications, performance and reliability of the CV3-AD SoCs, and highly affirmed Ambarella’sexceptional support and cooperation.
