On Designing Computing Systems for Autonomous Vehicles: a PerceptIn Case Study
This addresses the problem of efficient computing system design for autonomous vehicles in the micromobility domain, but it is incremental as it builds on existing technologies.
The paper presents PerceptIn's development of computing systems for autonomous micromobility vehicles, focusing on design decisions and demonstrating the advantage of offloading localization workloads to an FPGA platform.
PerceptIn develops and commercializes autonomous vehicles for micromobility around the globe. This paper makes a holistic summary of PerceptIn's development and operating experiences. This paper provides the business tale behind our product, and presents the development of the computing system for our vehicles. We illustrate the design decision made for the computing system, and show the advantage of offloading localization workloads onto an FPGA platform.
