The Mentor Graphics Autonomous Driving Platform offers centralized raw data fusion and direct real-time sensing designed to meet requirements for SAE Level 5 autonomous vehicles.

The DRS360 DRS360™ fuses raw unfiltered data from radar, LIDAR, vision and other sensors in real-time. The platform is designed to deliver the low-latency, high-accuracy sensing required for Level 5 autonomous vehicles capable of navigating with no driver input.

DRS360™ consists of Xilinx® Zynq® UltraScale+™ MPSoC FPGAs, with advanced neural networking algorithms for machine learning, and a host of integration services built on system support package utilizing Mentor IP. The platform uses “raw data” approach that eliminates processing at sensor nodes from all sensor nodes. The result is reduced cost and complexity for OEMs, suppliers, and autonomous driving developers working on systems that can see and act at the highest possible resolution.

The platform accommodates a wide array of sensors from leading suppliers and customer choice extends to the use of x86 and Arm-based SoCs for delivering key autonomous driving functionality such as sensor fusion and event detection, semantic perception of objects, applications such as situational awareness and path planning, and actuator control.
