Author: EIS Release Date: Jan 14, 2023

Recogni has combined its 7nm Scorpio AI processor with a 7nm Renesas R-Car V4H ASIL D processor IC – which is already AI-capable – to create a 2,000Top/s embedded computer for vehicles that self-drive at SAE levels L2+ to L4.

Called Phoenix, the computer is also offered in 500 and 1,000Top/s forms. Multiple high resolution high frame rate video streams can be processed simultaneously, and the unit can be remotely updated.

 

Its software architecture allows OEMs to customise their autonomous driving technology stacks to add features, said the company, and it offers an L2+ capable AI vision perception stack “that will include [a] variety of object classification and detection features: vehicles, vulnerable road users, traffic sign detection, traffic light detection and lane detection”, for example.

 

Founded in 2017, Recogni has offices in San Jose and Munich. Investors include BMW iVentures, Toyota Ventures, Bosch, Continental, Forvia and FluxUnit-Osram Ventures.
