The TEKTON3 and SECTON3 have been designed to support all upcoming V2X requirements and are the first in the world which support 5G-V2X for Day 2 scenarios.
The products have already been awarded for series production of a passenger car by a major automotive OEM. First samples are expected to be available in early 2023, and the first cars equipped with the new chipsets are set to be available in 2025.
Day 1 V2X offers life-saving situational awareness alerts, while Day 2 V2X applications can make use of sensor data shared by other vehicles and enable critical actions such as automatic braking. Current devices can only issue warnings. Braking the car requires Functional Safety certification, introduced for the first time in Autotalks’ 3rd generation chipsets. This is the world’s only Functional Safety certified V2X chipsets, designed according to ISO26262 ASIL B.
The new chipsets have been designed to support all upcoming V2X requirements in both DSRC and C-V2X communication technologies, including the latest 5G-V2X (C-V2X Rel. 16/17/18) and IEEE802.11bd (next generation DSRC).
The chipsets support concurrently full backward compatibility to any Day 1 vehicle, where each vehicle reports its own data, using either DSRC or LTE-V2X (C-V2X Rel. 14), with any Day 2 technology, where the vehicle also reports all the information detected by its sensors, for “sensor sharing” or “cooperative perception”.
The chipsets embed ultra-low-latency V2X Hardware Security Modules (eHSM) and hardware acceleration of line rate security verification. TEKTON3 also includes an optimised CPU scaled for Day 1 and Day 2 V2X stack execution.
