Renesas Electronics Corporation announced that its R-Car V4H automotive system-on-chip (SoC), designed for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), has been selected for the TSS(LSS) control unit in Toyota Motor Corporation’s new RAV4 model, which debuted in December 2025. Denso Corporation supplies the control unit.
The R-Car V4H handles core ADAS signal processing in the vehicle, including camera and radar sensor fusion, Driver Monitor, Advanced Park, and panoramic view functions to support vehicle safety.
In the TSS(LSS) control unit, the R-Car V4H processes front-camera data using on-chip image recognition that incorporates AI neural networks. It fuses this data with radar inputs to enable detection of vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles.
For parking assistance, the integrated GPU generates real-time 3D panoramic-view images from front, rear, left, and right cameras. The SoC combines camera and ultrasonic sensor data to identify parking spaces and detect obstacles.
The SoC also monitors driver condition using in-cabin camera data.
Vivek Bhan, Senior Vice President and General Manager of High Performance Computing at Renesas, stated: “We’re thrilled to see our R-Car V4H adopted in the RAV4. Toyota is using a wide range of our automotive technologies from ADAS SoCs to microcontrollers and power devices. We’ll continue to support the development of future-ready mobility solutions powered by intelligent vehicle technology.”
