FAQs
How can automakers accelerate the transition to truly software-defined vehicles?
Automakers are under pressure to simplify vehicle architectures, unify compute domains, and deliver continuous software innovation without inflating cost and complexity. NXP addresses this challenge with the NXP CoreRide™ platform, unifying S32N central compute and S32K5 zonal controllers into a preintegrated SDV foundation that simplifies development. Leveraging MotionWise middleware, the platform enables deterministic updates, virtual ECUs and clean software separation—reducing system integration effort while accelerating time to market for smart, adaptive vehicles.
How can OEMs deliver safer, more accurate ADAS capabilities without increasing system cost or power consumption?
Automotive manufacturers must balance highperformance sensing with affordability, especially in L2+ autonomous systems. NXP combines SAF8xxx radar SoCs with AI-driven sensor fusion merging radar and camera data, delivering accurate perception for adaptive cruise control and automatic emergency braking. This approach brings advanced safety to entry and midrange vehicle segments while reducing system cost and power.
The S32N compute core unifies ADAS and vehicle functions, enabling Level 2 autonomy with radar semantic processing, object classification and low latency fusion.
OEMs gain a unified compute approach that enhances perception accuracy while reducing hardware complexity, enabling advanced safety features at lower cost.
How can EV manufacturers improve range, safety and system efficiency while lowering total EV architecture cost?
Next generation EVs require smarter battery insights, flexible system architectures and a path to cleaner electric mobility.
NXP's Wireless GenZ BMS and X-in-1 EV platform combine real-time, wireless battery monitoring, predictive maintenance and modular integration (motor control, BMS, comms) to extend battery life, enhance safety and streamline EV architecture for lower cost and faster validation.
Wireless BMS uses UWB synchronicity and EIS fast charging analytics for precise voltage/current monitoring and scalable pack designs (up to 26 cells per AFE).
The X-in-1 platform ensures robust software isolation across mixed safety levels and provides migration/validation tooling to accelerate EV program milestones.
SDV aligned energy networks support ASIL D battery management and 48 V power strategies for cleaner mobility.
