Autonomous driving technology company Nullmax has recently announced a collaboration with Black Sesame Technologies to introduce a cutting-edge multimodal AI-driven smart driving solution. This innovative solution is powered by the latest generation A2000 chip from the Huashan series and is designed to revolutionize autonomous driving applications across various scenarios.
Debuting globally at CES 2025, the new smart driving solution by Nullmax and Black Sesame Technologies offers full-scenario autonomous navigation-assisted driving worldwide. It is equipped to navigate diverse environments such as urban roads, structured roads, and parking lots, providing customers with a seamless and efficient driving experience. This solution aims to address challenges in advanced autonomous driving applications, including poor generalization, subpar user experience, and high costs.
The A2000 chip utilized in this solution employs a vision-based system and can process multi-modal inputs such as camera and audio data. This allows the vehicle to perceive its surroundings through sight and sound, enabling diverse inference outputs including visual information, scene descriptions, and driving behaviors. The solution does not rely on LiDAR or HD maps, offering advanced features such as city navigation, memory driving, highway navigation, and memory parking through pure-vision solutions combined with basic navigation information.
Black Sesame Technologies launched the Huashan A2000 chip family on December 26, 2024, a high-performance chip platform designed for next-generation AI models. This chip family integrates industry-leading units such as CPU, DSP, GPU, NPU, MCU, ISP, and CV, enabling high integration and multi-task processing on a single chip. Leveraging the A2000 family’s computing resources and toolchain, Nullmax is deploying its multimodal AI large model-enabled smart driving solution, including the LMDAM model used in Nullmax Intelligence.
Through this collaboration, Nullmax and Black Sesame Technologies aim to build a next-generation intelligent driving solution that meets the market demand for intelligent mobility. Black Sesame Technologies, a leading provider of automotive-grade intelligent computing chips and solutions, empowers smart vehicles with critical capabilities such as autonomous driving, smart cockpits, advanced imaging, and interconnectivity. Nullmax, on the other hand, specializes in AI technology for autonomous driving applications, creating full-scenario solutions and accelerating mobility transformation.
By integrating this advanced technology into their vehicles, customers can expect a cutting-edge autonomous driving experience that is efficient, reliable, and tailored to their needs. The collaboration between Nullmax and Black Sesame Technologies represents a significant step forward in the development of intelligent mobility solutions, bringing us closer to a future where autonomous driving is the norm.
