Enabling Technologies for Autonomous Driving

Autonomous driving is becoming reality at an increasing pace, with all the tech giants now actively developing the technology. In this talk, we will focus on the key challenges of autonomous driving and how they can be addressed, from a chip maker's perspective. In particular, we will try to bring clarity to two important questions: (1) How do we enable massive compute for big data and machine learning tasks required for autonomous driving in an SoC, but still within a reasonable thermal envelop? (2) What are the key enabling technologies to remove dependency on cost inhibitive sensors for massive adoption of the technology?
