Xilinx scores Daimler AI deal

Powered by a Xilinx automotive platform consisting of system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices and AI acceleration software, the scalable solution will deliver high performance, low latency and best power efficiency for embedded AI in automotive applications today. There are not many additional details about what exactly it will be working on, it is apparently too early for these details. Daimler AG recognized the Xilinx's advancements and the fact that the company managed to ship 40 million cumulative automotive units to automakers and Tier 1 suppliers in the last twelve years. Some of their solutions like FPGA or Over the Air FPGA based silicon where hardware and software can be updated over the air are definitely unique compared to its competitors. You can simply add features to the hardware, something you cannot do in ASIC /SoC approach.
