Huang Gang, Executive Vice President of Inceptio, said: "Ambarella's SoC has advanced imaging capabilities and high performance of low-power AI processing, and the company can provide strong support, so we chose to cooperate with Ambarella. The efficient architecture of the CV2 SoC contributes to excellent performance when running our advanced 3D computer vision algorithms. We have started mass production of L3 trucks with our OEM partners in late 2021. We will continue to optimize and iterate on our autonomous driving technology and products, while expanding OEM collaboration and vehicle platform applications. We are delighted to partner with Ambarella and look forward to exploring new opportunities together in the near future.”

Fermi Wang, President and CEO of Ambarella, said: "We are honored to partner with Inceptio on L3 autonomous trucks and help its Xuanyuan autonomous driving system achieve more than 2 million kilometers of actual operation. Our CVflow edge AI SoC can Provides Inceptio with high-performance AI processing to implement advanced computer vision and neural network algorithms, industry-leading image signal processing for maximum clarity in challenging lighting conditions, and industry-best performance per watt , allowing Wincher to control thermal and power budgets well.”

Ambarella's ASIL-C certified CV2FS SOC is used to perform collision avoidance while meeting system requirements for functional safety.Additionally, Ambarella's QM-qualified CV2AQ SoC will perform segmentation and object detection, including lanes and signs.
