SiEngine Technology Co, based in the Wuhan Economic & Technological Development Zone (WEDZ), has reached a significant milestone by shipping over 400,000 units of its 7-nanometer smart cockpit chip, Longying One.
The latest car model to feature this advanced chip, the Geely Galaxy E5, showcases the debut of the Longying One single-chip cockpit-parking [JMB2] integration solution. This innovative technology can save up to 1,200 yuan ($168.48) per vehicle compared to traditional setups, according to Wang Kai, founder of SiEngine Technology.
Wang added that competition in smart cars has evolved from a race for computing power to a focus on efficiency and cost-effectiveness. This cockpit-parking integration platform can help equipment manufacturers reduce development time and costs.
The Longying One chip's ability to deliver cockpit-parking integration is attributed to its dual neural processing unit design, substantially enhancing computing power. In contrast, major foreign competitors typically feature only a single NPU core, making it challenging for them to support cockpit-parking integration with comparable computational efficiency.
SiEngine's advanced autonomous driving chip, AD1000, is set to be released soon, with customer deliveries expected within the year. This chip will support L2 to L4 levels of intelligent driving. This will be another milestone for SiEngine, making us the only domestic supplier capable of covering the full spectrum of high-computing power chips from smart cockpits to autonomous driving, noted Wang.
