AMF-ACC-T1670

Advanced driver assist systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) require a combination of high-performance processing and functional safety. There is currently no single SoC capable of meeting AD performance requirements with the intrinsic safety capabilities required for expected regulatory requirements. To facilitate development and testing of AD sensor inputs, vehicle control algorithms, and functional safety fault detection and response mechanisms, Freescale has developed prototype ECU hardware based on a high-performance ‘Number Cruncher’ and an ISO 26262 ‘Safety Controller’, which we call the Blue Box. This session covers the Blue Box hardware and software features, and intended usage.
