On September 25, on the eve of the 2020 Beijing International Auto Show, Huawei released a new generation of MDC intelligent driving computing platform series: the MDC 210 and MDC 610.
Li Zhenya, general manager of Huawei Intelligent Vehicle Solutions BU MDC Product Department, said, MDC 210 and MDC 610 can provide 48 and 160 TOPS of computing power respectively, providing economical and practical computing resources for L2+, L3~L4 level of automatic driving.
They also bring sensor access capabilities to meet vehicle-level safety requirements, he said, adding that the MDC family maintains a consistent physical footprint to support smooth replacement of computing platforms over the life cycle of an intelligent vehicle.
The hardware of the new generation MDC series products is based on a unified π architecture, product series, computing power and interface can be flexibly configured, and hardware replacement upgrades.
It is equipped with AOS, VOS, MDC Core and other platform software, forward-compatible, smooth upgrade, to protect customer investment.
From MDC 210 to MDC 610 series products, the computing power range from 48 TOPS to 160 TOPS, to achieve the L2+~L4 full scene coverage.
Huawei releases white paper on autonomous driving network solutions
It is based on a six-dimensional comprehensive trustworthy design, which includes more requirements such as reliability and data privacy protection, in addition to Safety and Security.
According to Huawei, multiple MDCs support R-Lock architecture to achieve higher system-level reliability through access redundancy, computing redundancy and control redundancy.
In addition, the MDC development process and products meet the functional safety and cyber security requirements of vehicle-level ASIL D and CC EAL5+.
It collaborates with Octopus training simulation to enhance R&D efficiency. It also collaborates with V2X and OceanConnect to improve user experience.
It follows the industry's mainstream sensors, actuators and other standard interfaces on hardware, and opens APIs to upper-level applications via MDC Core on software.
