STRADVISION, a leading innovator in AI-based automotive perception software, has joined forces with Arm to accelerate the development of intelligent, software-defined vehicles. This collaboration centers on Arm’s newly launched Zena™ Compute Subsystems (CSS) – a purpose-built platform designed to meet the growing computational demands of next-generation automotive systems.
As the automotive industry undergoes a profound transformation driven by software and AI, STRADVISION is aligning its powerful perception technology with Arm’s scalable compute architecture to enable more capable, adaptable, and future-ready vehicles.
Unlocking New Levels of Performance and Flexibility
The integration of STRADVISION’s SVNet perception stack with Arm Zena CSS brings significant advantages to automakers and Tier 1 suppliers. This combination allows seamless scalability—from basic ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to advanced autonomous driving—while reducing development complexity and ensuring long-term platform compatibility.
“Partnering with Arm allows us to accelerate the delivery of high-efficiency, intelligent perception systems across all levels of vehicle automation,” said Philip Vidal, Chief Business Officer at STRADVISION. “Together, we’re making it easier for OEMs to build safer, smarter cars that evolve with market demands.”
Future-Proofing Automotive Innovation
By leveraging Arm’s Zena CSS and its natively-accelerated virtual platforms, STRADVISION enables earlier and more efficient software development, even before physical hardware becomes available. This approach dramatically shortens the development cycle and enhances continuous integration and testing workflows—critical factors for achieving advanced driving capabilities at L2+ levels and beyond.
The collaboration also ensures portability across multiple silicon generations, giving automakers a unified, standards-based path from entry-level to premium models, all built on a consistent perception software stack.
A Shared Vision for Smarter Mobility
This strategic alignment supports Arm’s broader ecosystem vision through initiatives like SOAFEE (Scalable Open Architecture for Embedded Edge), promoting interoperability and rapid innovation in automotive software development. STRADVISION’s support for Arm’s open platforms reaffirms its commitment to delivering flexible, high-performance solutions that can adapt to evolving industry requirements.
Suraj Gajendra, VP of Automotive at Arm, emphasized the importance of such collaborations:
“With growing expectations for AI-powered features and advanced safety systems, platforms like Arm Zena CSS—supported by partners like STRADVISION—will play a vital role in realizing the next generation of intelligent vehicles.”
