Subaru's challenge to achieve "zero fatal traffic accidents by 2030" has begun! The next-generation image sensor jointly developed with onsemi holds the key.
🟦 Subaru and onsemi, the future envisioned with next-generation image sensors
Subaru has set a goal of reducing fatal traffic accidents to zero by 2030 and is developing a new image sensor “AR0823AT” in collaboration with onsemi. This sensor contributes to the evolution of Subaru’s EyeSight driver assistance system, achieving high resolution and high sensitivity while being compact.
Compared to the previous model, the sensitivity has been improved (140 dB → 150 dB) while the package size has been further reduced (from 10 mm × 11 mm to 8 mm × 11 mm). As a result, the vehicle’s stereo camera efficiently captures optimal data for AI inference processing, greatly enhancing safety performance.
🟦 Background and Importance of the Evolution of Safety Technology
Subaru’s next-generation EyeSight will integrate AI inference with stereo cameras, dramatically improving recognition accuracy and greatly enhancing its ability to predict danger. The fact that onsemi responded to detailed technical requirements in the collaboration is also considered to be a major factor in the success of this project. These technological innovations bring us one step closer to achieving zero traffic accidents.
🟦 Summary
Subaru’s ambitious goal of zero fatal traffic accidents by 2030 is steadily evolving through the development of the next-generation image sensor “AR0823AT” in collaboration with onsemi. This paved the way for EyeSight to be even more accurate and safe.
When it comes to image sensors, Sony is famous for having a high market share, including for automotive applications. However, for special applications such as Subaru’s stereo cameras, products that meet specific requirements, such as onsemi, are not only made by Sony, but also required.
