Gasgoo Awards 2023 applicant: Cockpit and Parking integrated Domain Control Unit from BDStar Intelligent & Connected Vehicle Technology Co., Ltd.

Product: Cockpit and Parking integrated Domain Control Unit  

Description

EEA (Electrical/Electronic Architecture) has evolved from Modularization, Integration, Centralization, Domain Fusion to Vehicle Computer (Zone ECUs) and Vehicle Cloud Computing. New Product, like Domain Fusion product (Driving+Parking), or Domain Fusion product(Cockpit+ Parking), has emerged as the EEA trend develops. Qualcomm SA8155P(GEN3) chip, cost-effective and high in Performance (CPU/GPU/DSP…) has enjoyed great popularity among OEMs, more OEMS resort to Use it for Cockpit. The redundant CPUs of Cockpit based on SA8155P can support Auto Parking system development.

Unique advantages

Domain Fusion products (Driving+Parking) launched since 2022, while Domain Fusion product(Cockpit+ Parking) has a late start, no product launched yet in the market. BICV, empowered by its insight and accumulation in Auto market, has planned domain fusion(Cockpit and Parking) early in 2022. Now it is capable for commercial Mass Production after performance optimizing. Product Advantage: -Functions highly integrated: one Domain controlled can support Cockpit functions (Smart Voice Recognition、DMS/IMS、AR-HUD、infotainment Services, etc) and Auto Parking functions, and more parking signals will be transferred to Cockpit to have better HMI; -Cost Effective: 1) hardware sets (Box、Harness, etc.) can be reduced to save vehicle budget; 2) share redundant computing power of Cockpit chipset; 3) to share sensors (AVM cameras) for visual perception and Parking processing;

Application

Domain Fusion product (Driving+Parking) is strongly related with Smart Cockpit, Auto Parking and Intelligent Driving Business, and it enriches product portfolio of Domain Fusion and can fit OEMS’ request with differentiated solutions.  One Supplier response for Cockpit and Parking development, can reduce cost in coordination among Parties concerned, and can improve efficiency of Project Management.   Compared with separated Domain controller solution, Product Cost of Domain Fusion (Driving+Parking) can be Reduce 400-500 RMB/set; and Reuse of Platform can be reached to 70%, which conforms to cost reduction of OEMs.

Prospect

More than 30+ vehicles loaded with SA8155P chipset, and more vehicles will follow this trend as intelligent development. According to prediction of some professional institutes: with increasing demand for smart functions, penetration rate of cockpit domain controller is estimated to be 11% (2.5 million sets) in 2023, 20% (5 million sets) in 2025., APA equipment rate was 10.2% in 2022, 20%+ to be in 2023. A increasing and potential market for BICV to enter into.  Empowered by EEA trend evolution, technical development and better customer experience, OEMs has planned Vehicles with domain Fusion Architecture, while under the circumstance of “Price War” among OEMs, BICV’s domain Fusion product(Cockpit+ Parking) based on SA8155P platform can be better solution to meet both demands for Cost effective and Product completeness.
