Axera debuts at IAA Mobility 2025 with Global Launch of M57-Based ADAS Solution

SHANGHAI, Sept. 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Axera, a leading Chinese AI chip developer, made its debut at IAA Mobility this year, globally launching an ADAS solution based on its M57 SoC, aiming to disrupt the worldwide ADAS market landscape.

Axera M57 Inside: Next-Generation ADAS for Global OEMs

This solution was developed by Axera in collaboration with industry-leading AI visual perception company STRADVISION, and is compatible with the global ADAS market.

This is an all-in-one front-view perception demo solution. Utilizing the M57 SoC as the main processor, the demo is equipped with an 8-megapixel high-definition camera featuring a 120-degree horizontal field of view. It incorporates STRADVISION's 3D visual perception algorithms to deliver functions including static object detection, vehicle/pedestrian detection, lane/road boundary detection, traffic sign/traffic light recognition, and free space detection. The system supports the implementation of L2 ADAS features such as AEB, ACC, and LCC.

Leveraging the excellent performance of M57, this solution can operate under ultra-low power consumption. Its detection and processing capabilities are specifically optimized for ultra-low power, making it a highly competitive offering for the global ADAS market.

Crucially, the solution also meets China's upcoming AEB regulatory requirements and complies with major international functional safety standards, positioning it as a globally competitive platform. Early OEM adoption has already been secured, with expected mass production in 2026.

The Axera M57 series brings a step-change in performance:

• The proprietary AXNeutron NPU delivers up to 10 TOPS with native acceleration for BEV (Bird's Eye View) models.
• The AXProton AI-ISP, also developed in-house, enhances dynamic range and low-light imaging while minimizing latency, delivering high-resolution visual input optimized for perception and planning systems.
• Advanced power optimization enables operation at just 3.5W under a junction temperature of 125 °C, meeting the demands for thermal management and energy consumption of both EV and ICE platforms.

To align with global regulatory and safety benchmarks, the M57 series is built on a comprehensive compliance framework:

• Its integrated MCU with embedded hardware security island enables functional safety up to ASIL-B and ASIL-D standards.
• The toolchain is ISO/SAE 21434-compliant and supports a broad set of international automotive cybersecurity and safety regulations.
• Production-grade ADAS support includes an 8MP mono front-view system (backward-compatible with 2MP sensors) and a 5R5V integrated driving-parking domain controller.

With Axera's end-to-end hardware/software development kit, OEMs and Tier 1s can complete system migration and mass production in as little as 4.5 months.
