AUTOMOTIVE
SOLUTIONS
Industry-leading automotive technology
Imagination has been delivering high-quality semiconductor IP to the automotive sector for nearly two decades. We are the leading supplier of GPU IP into automotive cockpit and infotainment units and our highly flexible and secure technology can be found in the world’s most popular cars.
We have semiconductor solutions that can be deployed throughout the vehicle. All our automotive IP is designed to ISO 26262 standards and is ASIL certifiable.
Digital cockpit and infotainment units
Travelling in a car is a digital experience. Screens are increasing in quantity and quality, with premium vehicles featuring dashboard-wide displays, and occupants expect to access their favourite games and apps inside the car. High performance rendering is a must, but the digital cockpit also requires reliability and security so that critical information, such as the speed display, is protected.
Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
Lane-assist, driver monitoring, and adaptive cruise control are just the start of the ADAS revolution. Intelligence is required throughout the car, from the domain controllers to the central compute unit, to drive better decision-making. No matter what level of ADAS you are targeting, Imagination has safe, performant, and efficient solutions to suit.
Why choose Imagination?
Responsible IP supplier
Functional safety
Future-proof
Introducing DXS GPU
Its revolutionary functional safety technology, Distributed Safety Mechanisms, effectively eliminates the performance, power and area overheads of meeting ASIL-B requirements.
Innovation in Safety
Imagination’s new, patented solution for functional safety essentially eliminates the traditional overheads of detecting faults in processing logic. Read about the solution in our “Innovations in Distributed Functional Safety” white paper.
Imagination's automotive solutions
GPU
Imagination’s XS GPU families are the ultimate for functionally safe graphics and compute. They include hardware and software mechanisms to achieve ASIL-B certification and development follows the ISO 26262 process.
Software
In addition to our in-house software safety capability, Imagination partners with CoreAVI (the global leader in safety-critical software drivers and libraries) on the development of our safety driver supporting OpenGL SC and Vulkan SC on Imagination GPUs.
Imagination and Ambarella partner on autonomous vehicle human-machine interface visualisations with ASIL functional safety

VP of Marketing and Business Development
Flexible multitasking
Our HyperLane technology provides eight individual hardware control lanes, each isolated in memory, enabling different tasks to be submitted to the GPU simultaneously.
As compute centralises in vehicles, these technologies enable controllers to handle mixed criticality workloads with ease.
Safety without compromise
From Tile Region Protection to Distributed Safety Mechanisms, our solutions and systems make it easy for customers to gain ASIL certification.
Ultimate scalability
OEMs can simplify software development and deployment by using the same GPU architecture across their full range, while still having plenty of scope to differentiate between models.
Chiplet ready
Imagination’s unique multi-core technology allows for two, three and four core configurations, while the low bandwidth bus between cores and support for isolation suits the use of IMG DXS in chiplets. Talk to our sales team to find out more.
