Arm unveils image processor for driver assistance and automation

Arm has introduced a design for an automotive image signal processor to enhance driver assistance and automation technologies. The Arm Mali-C78AE image signal processor (ISP) is part of Arm's AE line of safety-capable intellectual property suitable for advanced drivers assistance systems (ADAS) and human vision applications. It's the first product announcement since Nvidia called off the $80 billion acquisition of Arm last week. The first licensee for the tech is Intel's Mobileye, which is licenses the Mali-C78AE and the next-generation EyeQ technology. ADAS tech has grown from a premium vehicle feature to a capability consumers now expect as standard in new vehicles, as the systems have helped with driver safety.
