High-performance ThunderX RazorDCX Domain Controller at CES, featuring both hardware and software technology in the Tarkine domain.
The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation, moving from the traditional distributed architecture to a central-compute architecture. At the forefront of this change is BMW Group, in partnership with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., who are developing intelligent connected vehicles through high-performance central computing and integrated cockpit-driving solutions.
The collaboration has resulted in the development of the Snapdragon Ride Pilot, a state-of-the-art driver assistance system. Over 1,400 specialists worldwide have worked together to create this cutting-edge technology.
To address the challenges posed by the proliferation of new features like Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS), Autonomous Driving (AD), and intelligent cockpits, which increase engineering implementation difficulty and vehicle costs, the duo has introduced the RazorDCX Tarkhine.
The RazorDCX Tarkhine is a cost-effective and technologically leading Cockpit-Driving Fusion domain controller solution in the current market. It integrates various vehicle features such as the cockpit, ADAS, cluster, automotive heads up displays, Advanced Vehicle Management Systems (AVMs), Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS), Digital Multimedia Systems (DMS), and Digital Video Recorders (DVR).
ThunderX, a subsidiary of ThunderSoft, has launched the RazorDCX Tarkhine, their first cockpit-driving domain controller solution. It is based on the Snapdragon Ride Flex System-on-Chip (SoC) from Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. The RazorDCX Tarkhine supports a wide range of features, including multi-screen interaction, 3D Human-Machine Interface (HMI), in-cabinet vision, gaming, and infotainment.
In addition, the RazorDCX Tarkhine supports Automotive Audio Bus(®) (A2B) and Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) interfaces, ensuring seamless integration with existing vehicle systems. It also provides support for Automated Valet Parking (AVM), DMS, game audio and video entertainment, Internet, and various cockpit features.
ThunderX is focused on diving deep into intelligent driving domain control and cross-domain integration. They aim to bring commercial-ready products of intelligent driving domain control and cross-domain integration to the industry. The company will continue working with strategic ecosystem partners in various fields to achieve this goal.
The RazorDCX Tarkhine is designed with functional safety design in mind. It supports APA and L2+ highway, as well as other ADAS features. Moreover, it can realize a through-type 8k resolution long screen with an immersive, full 3D interface.
The RazorDCX Tarkhine is a key to the future development of intelligent connected vehicles (ICVs). BMW Group and Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.'s collaboration is a significant step towards the realization of safe, efficient, and enjoyable ICVs. ThunderX's goal is to enable global intelligent vehicle customers to benefit from this technology.
