An “auto-grade NPU chip” refers to a Neural Processing Unit (NPU) chip specifically engineered and designed for automotive use. NPUs are hardware components designed to accelerate artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms on devices – enabling devices to process AI tasks more efficiently while using less power consumption.
An automotive grade NPU chip is designed to meet the stringent requirements of the automotive industry, such as reliability, durability, safety, and performance in different environmental conditions. Autograde NPUs are intended for use in vehicles for tasks such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, in-cab monitoring and other AI-powered features within this realm.
Auto-grade NPUs must adhere to industry standards and regulations in order to operate reliably in an automotive environment, which may include temperature variations, vibration, electromagnetic interference and more. Engineered with computational power for AI tasks while providing security and safety assurance of operation is their purpose.
