Achronix anticipates that the favored self-driving architecture of the future will be increasingly decentralized. However, both the centralized and decentralized architectural design approaches will require hardware acceleration in the form of far more lookaside coprocessing than is currently realized. Whether centralized or decentralized, the anticipated computing architectures for automated and autonomous driving systems will clearly be heterogeneous and require a mix of processing resources used for tasks ranging in complexity from local-area-network control, translation, and bridging to parallel object recognition based on deep-learning algorithms running on neural networks. As a result, the current level of more than 100 CPUs found in luxury piloted vehicles could easily swell to several hundred CPUs and other processing elements for more advanced, autonomous vehicles.
