Autobrains and JOYNEXT Revolutionize Smart Camera Solution Powered by Autobrains’ Affordable Safety ADAS Software

Driving the Future of Safety: Cost-Effective, AI-Powered ADAS Solutions for Global OEMs

MUNICH, GERMANY | DRESDEN, GERMANY | TEL AVIV, ISRAEL / ACCESSWIRE / December 4, 2024 / Autobrains, a leader in automotive artificial intelligence (AI), has joined forces with JOYNEXT, a global automotive Tier-1 supplier and development partner to renowned car manufacturers for over 20 years, to offer their groundbreaking Smart Camera ADAS solution. The camera hardware and optimized control software, provided by JOYNEXT, is powered by Autobrains' Affordable Safety ADAS software. The single-box Smart Camera solution, optimized for cost-effective Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), was designed to meet the evolving needs of global Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). This compact system simplifies integration, reduces costs, and ensures regulatory compliance without sacrificing performance.

With ever increasing global regulations, smart cameras are a must-have in new build vehicles. The joint Smart Camera meets stringent global safety standards, including Europe's General Safety Regulation (GSR) and Euro NCAP requirements, ensuring its readiness for widespread deployment across vehicle classes. "Building a powerful ecosystem is crucial in order to be able to offer our global customers reliable and future-oriented technologies," says Stavros Mitrakis, CEO of JOYNEXT GmbH. "Autobrains is a fitting partner. With them, we will be able to offer reliable, high-quality, and cost-effective technologies in the field of automated driving in the future."

Affordable Safety AI Software

"Our new Affordable Safety ADAS solution leverages Autobrains' signature-based self-learning Liquid AI technology, delivering unparalleled efficiency and significantly lowering training, validation, and BOM (Bill of Materials) costs," explains Igal Raichelgauz, Founder and CEO of Autobrains. "By indexing and compressing data into sparse binary representations, the AI system requires less computational power, reducing the size and cost of the SoC (System-on-Chip) and sensor needed for operation." Autobrains' Liquid AI mimics human brain functionality, reducing reliance on labeled data, accelerating development cycles, and minimizing data bias. This hardware-agnostic solution offers OEMs the flexibility to integrate it into existing hardware environments, making ADAS accessible to a wider range of vehicles, from premium models to compact cars, without compromising safety or performance.

ADAS as a Standard Feature

Driver assistance systems are becoming standard in all vehicle segments and regions thanks to stronger regulations and NCAP safety ratings. "Providing these assistance systems cost-efficiently to car manufacturers and drivers is a challenge for the industry," says Manuel Yoon, General Manager Germany and VP Strategy of Autobrains. "Our contribution is to help reduce the number of accidents by providing technology that enables autonomous emergency braking, lane-keeping support, and intelligent speed assistants for everyone. In addition, we can reduce the drivers' burden with comfort features such as adaptive cruise control with a single camera."

Streamlined Scalability

The system eliminates the need for complex multi-component systems, reducing time-to-market while enhancing scalability. "Our smart camera combines data collection, processing and control in one compact device. There are expansion stages with an additional interior camera, which means the system can also meet driver monitoring requirements within a single module. This makes our products an attractive solution, especially for European and Asian OEMs." emphasizes Jan Kolanko, Senior Manager for ADAS at JOYNEXT GmbH.

The new Smart Camera ADAS solution will be available for OEMs worldwide starting in early 2025. This groundbreaking solution aims to democratize advanced safety technologies, making them accessible to a broader range of vehicles and markets.
