6th-gen: 13 cameras, 4 lidar, 6 radar, plus external audio receivers (EARs); 500m perception range.
- compute↗
Heterogeneous onboard stack: custom 5 nm ASICs (over 1,000 TOPS) process and fuse raw sensor data ahead of CPUs, GPUs and accelerators; built as two independent engines for fail-over. No whole-platform TOPS figure published.
- planning↗
Modular architecture with ML-based perception + behavior prediction; HD-map-assisted; moving toward mapless operation in newer gen.
