Aptiv
Product: Smart Electric Center
Description
Smart electrical centers are power distribution devices in a vehicle that replace traditional melting fuses with smart fusing and electromechanical relays with solid-state switches. Taking this step can help OEMs optimize cable sizes; reduce system cost, weight, and packaging size; and enable intelligent power management features and diagnostics. Solid-state switching also is quieter and consumes less energy than electromechanical relays, and remains robust for millions of duty cycles.
As consumers demand increasingly advanced functionality from their vehicles, the automotive industry is undertaking the biggest transformation in electrical and electronic architecture in its history. Aptiv’s Smart Vehicle Architecture™ shows us where that journey is headed, and every journey begins with a single step. For some OEMs, that first step may be smart electrical centers.
Unique advantages
They also allow for savings in cabling. In the past, wires had to be designed to be larger in diameter than physically needed — typically large enough to comfortably carry 30 percent more current than needed, which would allow enough tolerance for the fuse element at peak load. Smart fusing enables engineers to specify cabling to the physical limit of the load over a specified period of time, which often results in a reduction in the cable size to save cost, weight and space.
Just as importantly, smart electrical centers lead to a much more complete diagnostic picture. A smart electrical center can detect when the wires attached to it are close to failing. It can isolate fault conditions; detect open and short circuits, circuit overloads and underloads; and report all of that diagnostic information back to a central controller — which can in turn communicate that data to the consumer or a dealer for service.
The technology in smart electrical centers is key to ensuring that vehicles meet functional safety requirements. Typically, a smart electrical center is rated ASIL-B as a component, and it can be utilized in conjunction with another Automotive Safety Integrity Level B (ASIL-B)-rated component to form an ASIL-D-rated system. The ASIL-B component rating is accomplished by the improved robustness of solid state components, diagnostics and software implementations.
onsemi
Product: high resolution automotive image sensor AR0820AT
Description
The AR0820AT is an 8.3-megapixel, 2.1-micron (μm) DR-Pix wafer-stacked automotive sensor with 100 times the perception capability of human eye vision under all conditions.

The sensor includes advanced functions such as in-pixel binning, windowing, and both video and single frame modes to provide flexible Region of Interest (ROI). The high resolution of this sensor, coupled with the ability to operate effectively in poor lighting conditions, enhances the capabilities of ADAS systems. Higher resolution allows smaller objects and other hazards to be detected and identified by the system at a greater distance, allowing the vehicle to alert the driver or take avoiding action earlier, thereby enhancing road safety. The advanced fault detection features and embedded data on the AR0820AT are key to enabling ASIL B compliant cameras that are critical for higher levels of autonomy.
Unique advantages
• The AR0820AT provides high resolution and high dynamic range in a variety of poor lighting conditions, enabling detection and identification of smaller objects and other dangerous situations at longer distances (up to 185 meters), making contributions to enhance ADAS systems and more advanced autonomous driving systems, thereby improving road safety.
• The sensor includes sophisticated onboard fault monitoring and detection to ensure that the image can be relied upon. By moving the responsibility for fault detection from the main processor to the sensor itself, significant processing power is saved and any faults or issues are able to be detected far more quickly, allowing the vision system to return to a safe state before a potentially hazardous event occurs. The inbuilt cybersecurity ensures reliable and secure operation.
• With a scalable family of image sensors from onsemi (of which the AR0820AT is a key part), automotive OEMs are able to deploy the optimum sensor for each application within each vehicle they produce while leveraging software and algorithm development across all devices. This both reduces development time and diminishes design risk.

Senior Automation
Product: Port Unmanned and Cloud Control system
Description
By building a fully connected wireless network, SNIC realizes the comprehensive perception and intelligent scheduling of port transportation elements such as containers, transportation equipment, instruments, and personnel. At the same time, based on 5g mobile edge computing, video security monitoring, real-time data acquisition, remote disposal, and scheduling are carried out on the site. At the same time, through the application of automatic driving in the port area, the mode of loading, unloading, and transportation of goods in the port will be changed, and intelligent machinery will be promoted to replace labor.
After a large number of experiments and trial operations, the driverless solution has been landed at two terminals, tested at seven terminals, and officially signed commercial operation orders, accumulating a large number of real operation scenarios/data.
Unique advantages
At present, automatic driving has six mainstream application scenarios in the field of commercial vehicles, including port scenarios, logistics parks, mining area scenarios, airport scenarios, trunk logistics, and terminal logistics. Because of its semi-closed and high degree of standardization, the port is regarded as one of the most potential scenarios for rapid digital transformation.
Different from other driverless application scenarios, port driverless has its own application environment and technical requirements.
First, in terms of intelligence, in the complex environment of people, vehicles, and things interwoven in the port, the unmanned truck is equipped with advanced technologies such as lidar, millimeter-wave radar, ultrasonic radar, high-definition camera, and satellite positioning module. In particular, the ultrasonic radar can detect all objects. Unlike lidar and millimeter-wave radar, they have their own advantages. They are more practical for mobile modes such as reversing, which is conducive to the environmental transportation of the port;
Second, in terms of networking, domestic port driverless truck basically adopts 5G network and v2x technology, which continuously strengthens the cooperative perception ability of vehicle end and road end, and realizes the interconnection between driverless truck and port automatic production equipment and system. At the same time, cloud computing and remote monitoring services can also be added to realize system real-time optimization, intelligent dispatching control, and remote driving, so as to provide a multi-dimensional guarantee for the safe operation of driverless trucks;
Third, technically, it is very different from AGV (automatic guided transport vehicle) and IGV (Intelligent guided transport vehicle). AGV needs to lay magnetic nails on the driving route, and the positioning accuracy of IGV is relatively poor. While driverless truck integrates the technical advantages, avoids the technical shortcomings of AGV and IGV, and saves more cost.
Therefore, unmanned container trucks are very important for container terminals. The horizontal transportation of the container terminal directly determines the comprehensive operation efficiency of a port. The Unmanned Container truck has innovated the horizontal transportation scheme of the terminal, greatly improved the working environment, reduced the working intensity, and solved the problems of easy fatigue and great potential safety hazards. The technical ability of the company’s Si Nian intelligent driving team ranks first in the domestic port track, and it is estimated that it will reach 500 million / year in three years. The business model includes two directions: operation and sales. Among them, the operation is the only team that adopts this model in domestic port driverless track.

Zhito Technology
Product: Long-short term Decoupled Decision-Making and Planning System
Description
Instead of designing an integrated component of decision-making and trajectory planning as in conventional approaches, we decouple them into independent modules. The reinforcement learning agent in the decision-making component approximates the inference of future possible decision space, allowing the long-term, complex, uncertain, and interactive reasoning of ego behavior. The decision module outputs expected semantic action to the trajectory planning component, such as following, lane change, overtake， etc. The trajectory planning module uses an accurate kinematic model and object prediction, focusing on planning short-term, time-critical, collision-free, and comfortable trajectories, to achieve the received semantic action.
Unique advantages
Both decision-making and trajectory planning have advantages and drawbacks in their approaches. But each of their pros and cons can be complementary. The inference of the environment model enables applying flexible methods in decision-making to address complicated problems efficiently. However, the resulting decision can be coarse and error-prone. On the contrary, accurate continuous modeling guarantees the accuracy, safety, and comfort of trajectory planning, but this also limits the pool of methods to choose from and the scale of the problem to solve. One way to utilize the pros and avoid the cons is to decouple decision and planning, by having decision making to decide on a semantic action under a large-scale complex environment, and letting trajectory planning to focus on achieving such specific action and avoid possible collisions. This is intuitively similar to human driving behavior, where we partition the driving scenario into time-spatial spaces, estimate the sequence of spaces to pass, then plan for throttle and steering within such spaces.

Now, the ZM-SDR1 radar has entered the stage of mass production. The designated customers include Jinkang, Meituan, JAC, etc and the total shipment is expected to exceed 0.4 million this year.
Unique advantages
Product scarcity
At present, the automotive millimeter-wave radar market is still monopolized by international component suppliers. However, the focus of these international suppliers is mainly in the field of high-speed ADAS, which cannot meet the needs of low-speed application scenarios. With the increasing maturity of autonomous driving technology, especially the rapid popularization of intelligent parking products, the market urgently needs a millimeter-wave radar that can be compatible with both high-speed ADAS and low-speed parking scenarios. Special optimizations have been made for high-speed ADAS scenarios (urban/town structured roads) and low-speed parking scenarios (underground/surface parking lots, parks, etc.), which can perfectly meet the application requirements of autonomous driving. In addition, the ZM-SDR1 is committed to providing low-cost, all-day, high-reliability environment perception solutions. In summary, the ZM-SDR1 radar is the only radar product that can meet high-speed ADAS applications and low-speed parking applications.
Advanced technology
From the perspective of product demand, ZM-SDR1 adopts dual-mode design, and further improves the radar for the requirements of applications in high-speed and low-speed scenarios:More point clouds (more than 10,000 points per 4 radars per vehicle); better detection capability（≥100m@-45°to45°); Smaller blind spot of detection (≤15cm，better than ultrasonic sensors); larger field of view (FOV≥150°）; higher resolution（Angular resolution≤5°）; Introduce altitude measurement capability (4D point cloud, traditional angle radar has no altimetry capability).
