ACU is Baidu's in-vehicle advanced platform for autonomous driving, and the advanced ACU is the first production-ready AVP controller implemented with XA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC.
The production-ready ACU advanced platform for AVP applies the XA Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC for sensor fusion and AI processing instead of GPU for proof-of-concept in specific scenarios and functions of automated valet parking that require sophisticated and powerful deep learning inference capable of handling complex driving environments.
This platform is fully compatible with PaddlePaddle, Baidu's deep learning framework, and supports five cameras and twelve ultrasonic radars, as well as an operating temperature range from minus 40 degrees to plus 85 degrees, meeting automotive-level production requirements.
Yusuf Kalyarolli, Vice President of Xilinx's Core Vertical Markets division, stated, "Baidu is strengthening its position as a key player in the automotive sector, and Xilinx provides an ideal solution capable of addressing technical challenges related to AVP and autonomous vehicles." He added, "With Xilinx's adaptive hardware platform, Baidu will be able to design scalable systems that seamlessly integrate AI computing acceleration, functional safety, and versatility into the processing engine."
