As sensor bandwidths grow and autonomy demands real-time environmental understanding, the pressure on SoC design continues to intensify. We Will explores how automotive-grade compute platforms are being architected to handle high-bandwidth, multi-modal sensor fusion—balancing latency, scalability, and safety. From CPU/GPU/NPU trade-offs to data movement bottlenecks, we’ll examine how Tier 1s and chipmakers are aligning compute architectures with the rigorous demands of L3+ systems.
