The two parties will focus on smart cockpit and intelligent driving domains. By jointly building a multi-dimensional R&D system covering chips, operating systems, and applications, they plan to foster collaborative innovation in functional safety certification, middleware development, and cross-domain integration solutions.
As a maker of high-performance automotive-grade and industrial chips, SiEngine will provide its in-house developed chips as the computing foundation, while iSOFT will offer customized vehicle control operating systems and development environments. The collaboration is expected to achieve a deep decoupling of hardware computing power and software functions.
SiEngine has already realized mass production and application of its 7nm automotive-grade intelligent cockpit chip, SE1000. In recent weeks, the chip has been featured in two newly launched flagship models, the Volvo XC70 and the Hongqi Tiangong 06.
