The Snapdragon Ride™ platform is car-to-cloud, connected ADAS infrastructure that
includes:
- Low-power SoC platforms comprising high-performance compute and AI engines with
functional safety built-in.
- Out-of-the-box, flexible vision solutions supporting front and surround camera.
- A rich tool set that provides simulation and continuous learning frameworks. The DNN
used in the device can be uploaded to the cloud for faster training. After that, the
newly retrained networks can be redeployed to the device from the cloud.
A key ingredient of the Snapdragon Ride hardware platform is the Snapdragon Ride SoC.
Designed to address the needs of the ADAS ecosystem, it has hardware blocks that deliver
ADAS applications such as:
- Machine learning and vision processing blocks for neural network-based
perception
- A vision accelerator for image pre- and post-processing applications
- Graphic accelerators for visualization and parallel processing GP-GPU support
- A video processor for streaming media support
- A system safety manager to ensure ISO 26262 compliance for applications
- A multi-core, ARM-based CPU for running general-purpose drive policy
applications
