Mobileye joins hands with Krypton to open a new chapter in advanced driver assistance through OTA upgrade

The OTA upgrade brings top-level driving safety and comfort to users of JK 001.

Last week, Mobileye and Jikr delivered the world's leading highway driver assistance software package to tens of thousands of Jikr 001 owners via OTA upgrade.The Extreme Krypton 001 is equipped with seven 8-megapixel high-definition cameras and four parking cameras that provide 360° perception capabilities, as well as two 7nm EyeQ 5 High SoCs.Now that the hardware is in place, users can complete this important feature update with just one click.This OTA upgrade not only reflects the future development trend of safe driving assistance systems, but also shows how cars can get functional upgrades through software updates.It is worth mentioning that this upgrade comes less than two years after we announced our SuperVision partnership with Geely Group.

Highway driving assistance comparable to a human driver

Anyone who has followed ADAS software development knows that most of today's systems that provide adaptive cruise control, highway driving assistance, and other daily highway travel demands rely primarily on one source of information for decision-making: the vehicle ahead.However, the factors that human drivers pay attention to and consider before making a decision are more complex, so it is not enough to only refer to the information of the vehicle ahead, we need to fully consider the habits of human drivers.For example, in a traffic jam, the car in front may not have slowed down, and a human driver who has a pre-judgment of road conditions will notice that the car in front has started to slow down or stop, so he slows down his own car.

The seven 8-megapixel high-definition cameras and four parking cameras enable 360° high-definition surround vision perception, allowing Mobileye's algorithms to cover almost the entire driving environment and direct the vehicle to intelligently respond to numerous information and objects, whileNot just the closest preceding car.For example, JK 001 can take into account the vehicle in front of the vehicle in front of the decision-making process, or a vehicle with an open door on the side of the road (need to move slightly laterally to avoid the vehicle), or even pedestrians on the roadside (when passing pedestrians).need to slow down).

The OTA upgrade enables the vehicle to travel at speeds of up to 130 kilometers per hour on roads with clear lane lines, the system adapts to different curvatures of the road, and provides the latest camera-radar fusion perception capabilities.This update and upgrade allows users of Jikr 001 to have the highway driving assistance functions that are extremely safe and experience extremely smooth on the market today, and this is just the beginning.

The next era of ADAS

The next core frontier in automotive design, architecture and usability is silicon and software.In the future, the differentiation advantage of automobile companies will no longer be the display of power performance, but the software quality and related architecture design.What started as driver assistance features has now evolved into the essence of the smart car, and as OTA upgrades become the norm, the pace of innovation in cars will only get faster.Consumers will expect feature upgrades through regular software updates that are as convenient as using a smartphone.Through the deep vertical integration system jointly developed by us and Jikr, whether it is system integrated chip SoC, ECU hardware, or integrated application of computer vision, fusion algorithm and driving strategy - through OTA upgrade to extremeIt will become the norm for Krypton 001 users to provide new features.In future updates, we will also add the application of high-definition map technology to support more cloud-enhanced functions (including complete pilot assistance functions), as well as urban road driving assistance, parking, and more.

In order to achieve the common goals of Mobileye and Krypton, we have increased investment in R&D, engineering and testing in China, quickly delivering on previous commitments and delivering hardware in less than two years after the partnership was announced, software and services.This commitment is made possible because we integrate the entire technology chain – from chip design to sensor integration, and personalised content and applications in tandem.This is the beginning of a new era of ADAS, and we are proud to cooperate with Jikr to explore and promote the bright future of intelligent driving.
