Kodiak Robotics To Use Ambarella Ai Domain Controller Soc For Autonomous Trucks

Kodiak Robotics is partnering with Ambarella to use its CV3-AD685 AI domain control system-on-chip (SoC) as a complete embedded compute system for driverless trucks. The CV3 provides a complete embedded solution for Kodiak’s multi-sensor perception, fusion and path planning, running neural networks while processing multiple cameras, lidars and radars. Kodiak has already logged over 300,000 miles on Ambarella’s CV2 AI perception SoC while delivering over 875 loads, demonstrating the effectiveness of the partnership. Fermi Wang, President and CEO at Ambarella, stated that the CV3-AD685 SoC provides the autonomous vehicle industry with the processing performance needed to set new benchmarks in AI-based autonomous safety, efficiency and innovation.
