Baidu Apollo uses ON Semiconductor image sensor

In a recent development, ON Semiconductor has officially become a partner of the Baidu Apollo autonomous driving platform. This partnership aims to create plug-and-play compatible imaging solutions that can be easily integrated into the ecosystem of both companies. By working together, they are set to enhance the performance and efficiency of automotive vision systems across the industry.

The Baidu Apollo platform is well-known for its open-source, reliable software and hardware system, which allows automotive designers to develop automated driving systems more efficiently. As part of this collaboration, image sensing technology plays a crucial role in enabling autonomous vehicles to perceive their surroundings accurately. ON Semiconductor’s standard-compliant 3μm advanced CMOS image sensor provides a solid foundation for customers to build robust autopilot vision systems. Its high dynamic range imaging technology ensures clear and sharp images and videos, even in low-light or mixed-light conditions, making it ideal for real-world driving environments.

Beyond simplifying and speeding up the design and testing of automotive camera applications, this partnership offers Apollo Ecosystem members exclusive access to ON Semiconductor’s technical support and product resources. Additionally, all Apollo partners will gain early access to the next generation of cutting-edge image sensing technologies from ON Semiconductor, further strengthening their competitive edge in the rapidly evolving autonomous vehicle market.
