The world’s first autonomous-class processor with integrated safety has been unveiled by chip designer, Arm, which has been specifically created for automotive applications combined with Split-Lock technology.

The Arm Cortex-A76AE (with ‘AE’ standing for Automotive Enhanced) is helping in the push toward mass-market autonomous driving with specific features to meet the requirements of in-vehicle processing.

Intensive amounts of processing will be paramount in an autonomous car – it is predicted that an AV will require a billion lines of code, whereas a Boeing 787 Dreamliner requires 14 million – so power efficiency is key for a SoC.
