NXP Semiconductors has announced a strategic partnership with Foxconn Industrial Internet Ltd., a subsidy company of Foxconn group, to transform the car into the ultimate edge device. NXP will provide FII with its comprehensive portfolio of automotive technologies.
The initial phase of the joint project will focus on the development of a full digital cockpit, based on the NXP i.MX 8 QuadMax. The platform will include digital clusters, and a head-up display (HUD) system, which will enable leading global automotive OEMs and Tier Ones to deliver vivid in-vehicle experiences for their customers. The digital cockpit is expected to start mass production in 2023. The companies aim to expand the relationship into UWB-based secure car access, and safe automated driving, augmented by NXP’s leading radar products.
“FII is committed to providing clients with an automated, connected platform and big data-based technology, services and solutions, in order to create application platforms across cloud computing, mobile devices, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), smart networks, robotics and automation, among other industries,” said Brand Cheng, CEO at Foxconn Industrial Internet Co. Ltd. “We believe that EVs and emerging technology innovation are derived from computing power, system integration, and energy management. We are joining with NXP to strengthen the development blueprint of FII and drive innovation for connected cars by leveraging NXP’s leading automotive technology.”
“As a leading global automotive semiconductor supplier, NXP has combined its strong heritage in safety, security and quality with innovation across the vehicle’s domains,” said Ron Martino, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Edge Processing for NXP Semiconductors. “We are extending the benefits of our i.MX 8 series processors for a full digital cockpit to FII, a leading technology services provider, and look forward to a long-term strategic partnership, which will provide system-level solutions for the realization of next-generation automotive innovation.”
