New ADAS technology debuts in the all-new Subaru Levorg for the Japanese market

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ADAS--Xilinx, Inc. (NASDAQ: XLNX) today announced that its technology is powering the new version of Subaru�s vision-based advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS), EyeSight. Integrated into the all-new Subaru Levorg, the new EyeSight system will provide advanced features including adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist and pre-collision braking, putting best-in-class safety technology into the hands of consumers.

�At Subaru, we continuously strive to make the Subaru brand prominent in our customers� hearts and minds by focusing our efforts on providing �Enjoyment and Peace of Mind,� and we believe ADAS is one of the technologies that will help us achieve that goal,� said Tetsuo Fujinuki, chief technology officer, Subaru Corporation. �Stereo cameras are at the heart of Subaru�s ADAS applications. Unlike common approaches, the image processing technology adopted in our new generation system scans everything captured by stereo cameras and creates high-precision 3D point clouds, enabling us to offer advanced features such as pre-collision braking at an intersection and assisting with hands-off driving in traffic congestion on a highway. Xilinx technology plays an important role in this. Because Xilinx automotive devices contain built-in capabilities that allow us to meet strict ASIL requirements, they are unquestionably the best technology to implement Subaru�s new ADAS vision system.�

The Xilinx^� Automotive-qualified (XA) Zynq^� UltraScale+� multi-processor system-on-a-chip (MPSoC) 16 nanometer technology provides the high-performance, ultra-low latency, and functional safety (ASIL) capabilities that EyeSight requires to accurately depict and react to dynamic driving scenarios.

�We are excited to see Xilinx automotive devices enabling the new generation of automotive safety for Subaru,� said Yousef Khalilollahi, vice president of sales, Asia-Pacific region, Xilinx. �Subaru�s name has long been synonymous with road safety and reliability, and we�re proud that our XA products have been selected to continue our shared vision of providing drivers with the most advanced safety features on the market.�
