Onsemi’s image sensor Hyperlux available on the NVIDIA DRIVE autonomous drive solution

Onsemi has announced that its Hyperlux Image Sensor family drivers are now available on the NVIDIA DRIVE platform, an autonomous driving solutions for vehicles. This safety enhancing support allows automated driving systems to fully utilize the sensor’s benefits allowing capturing of more details across any lighting condition. Hyperlux image sensors help capture detailed images and avoid blind spots without the need to change exposure settings. This provides the highest quality data for the NVIDIA DRIVE platform to process and make better, informed decisions quickly. These sensors are designed to consume low power and by leveraging efficient architecture of the NVIDIA platform is touted as lowest power option available for autonomous vehicle (AV) operation. NVIDIA DRIVE is an open, scalable AI platform that consists of hardware, software and firmware that work together to enable the production of automated and self-driving vehicles. “Uncompromising image quality is imperative for autonomous vehicles and there is an expectation for the vehicles to perform better than human drivers,” said Chris Adams, vice president, Automotive Sensing Division at onsemi. “By offering Hyperlux as part of the NVIDIA DRIVE platform automakers get a system that can see problems before drivers do and make better decisions to avoid them, which is a critical step to achieving fully autonomou...
