Honda Motors ve Renesas Electronics Corporationis a high-performance solution for software-defined vehicles (SDV). chip announced at CES 2025 that they signed a cooperation agreement to develop (SoC). The chip in question will be used in Honda’s new electric vehicle (EV) series, the Honda 0 (Zero) Series, especially in models that will be launched in the late 2020s.

One ECU to rule all

Honda recently introduced the Honda 0 SUV and Honda 0 Saloon prototypes under the Zero series. These software-defined vehicles will have advanced autonomous driving technologies such as Level 3. The partnership between Honda and Renesas enables all vehicle functions in this series, instead of multiple electronic control units (ECU) found in traditional systems. a single central ECUIt aims to develop an architecture that unites

Honda says this new central ECU will handle everything from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) to powertrain and comfort features as well as artificial intelligence, which will require a chip that can handle all this processing demand at once. This is where the Renesas partnership comes into play.

Renesas’ R-Car solutions can be customized by leveraging multi-chiplet technology and enable higher AI performance by integrating AI accelerators into the SoC.

Honda and Renesas to realize Honda’s SDV vision TSMCs of 3 nm decided to develop a high-performance and energy-saving SoC using process technology. This new SoC will combine Renesas’ fifth-generation (Gen 5) R-Car X5 SoC series with an AI accelerator optimized for AI software independently developed by Honda. Thus, power consumption will be kept low while providing the AI ​​performance required for advanced driving functions and autonomous systems.
