Ambarella (AMBA) Launches Autonomous Driving Software Stack
Ambarella AMBA recently unveiled its autonomous driving (AD) software stack, which was developed by the company’s VisLab Automotive R&D Team and built upon years of investment in data collection through various vehicle fleets.
The standout feature of this new offering, the deep-learning-based planner, is a direct result of these investments. Ambarella’s R&D vehicle team is currently equipped with mono and stereo cameras, along with Ambarella’s Oculii 4D imaging radar, all processed by the CV3-AD system-on-chip (SoC).
Ambarella’s CV3-AD SoC and the AD software stack were designed to work in tandem. However, this does not hinder other automotive customers from utilizing their software intellectual property. It is highly adaptable, allowing automakers to integrate it with their software. AMBA has the capability to offer its complete tool chain to customers, including tools for data collection, simulation and annotation, streamlining development.

Together, the CV3-AD SoC and the recently launched AD software stack deliver optimal performance per watt, utilizing only a small fraction of the SoC’s power while allowing ample room for additional third-party software. This efficiency also contributes to heat management and battery performance.
The AD software stack covers various aspects, from environmental perception to sensor fusion and vehicle path planning. Ambarella's AD software stack does not rely on pre-generated high-definition maps. Instead, it generates HD maps in real time using live data from the vehicle's sensors. This approach offers flexibility and reliability, especially in dynamic scenarios like commute and city-ride.
Ambarella's CV3 SoCs are built to handle demanding AI inference tasks, such as enabling partial or complete autonomy in vehicles. The CV3 SoCs leverage their third-generation AI inference technology for this purpose. These SoCs not only deliver perception processing for multiple camera inputs within a single chip but also enable central processing of low-radar data. This enhances overall perception capabilities in various applications, especially in autonomous vehicles. Ambarella has also gained renown for its top-of-the-line video processing SoCs, setting the benchmark in performance while consuming the least power in this space.
The company is consistently advancing in the creation and distribution of computer video solutions that rely on AI system-on-chips, known as CVFlow. The AI inference processors built on the CVFlow architecture, such as CV3, CV2, CV5, CV25 and CV22 SoCs, are receiving favorable responses from consumers.
