Cost-Efficient 3D Surround View System for
Mass-Produced Vehicles
Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE: 6723), an industry-leading
supplier of automotive semiconductor solutions, and Magna, a
mobility technology company and one of the world’s largest
automotive suppliers, aim to accelerate the mass adoption of
advanced driving assistance system (ADAS) features with a new
cost-efficient 3D surround view system designed for entry- and
mid-range vehicles. The 3D surround view system adopts Renesas’
high-performance, low-power system-on-chip (SoC) optimized for
smart camera and surround view systems. By enabling 3D surround
view safety capabilities, the new system helps automakers to
deliver safer and more advanced vehicles to a larger number of car
consumers, contributing to a safer vehicle society.

Magna’s 3D surround view system is a vehicle camera system that
provides a 360-degree panoramic view to assist drivers when parking
or performing low speed operations. Drivers can adjust the view of
their surroundings with a simple-to-use interface, while object
detection alerts drivers about obstacles in their path. The system
provides drivers a realistic 360-degree view of their environment,
a significant upgrade to the bird’s-eye view offered by existing
parking assist systems.
The innovative, ready-to-use system minimizes integration time
and development costs, making the system an easy, cost-efficient
option for automakers.
Several automakers have already expressed strong interest in the
technology, including a European automaker, which will be the first
to integrate the 3D surround view system into a future vehicle.
“Automated driving systems require scalability to address the
wide range of requirements of car consumers,” said Shinichi
Yoshioka, Senior Vice President and Deputy General Manager,
Automotive Solution Business Unit, Renesas Electronics Corporation.
“The collaboration, combining our best-in-class automotive
semiconductor expertise, and Magna’s world-class automotive system
innovation is an important step in delivering cost efficient 3D
surround view system across vehicle classes, bringing valuable
safety features to diverse price ranges.”
“The collaboration with Renesas is a great example of how
companies can jointly develop and deliver a greater number of
optimized, cost-effective semi-autonomous features to a variety of
different vehicle segments,” said Kelei Shen, President of Magna
Electronics. “By combining our strengths we will be able to put
advanced driver assistance and safety technology into more vehicles
and to more drivers.”
