Renesas Automotive Semiconductors Selected by Honda for ADAS
TOKYO, Japan ― Renesas Electronics Corporation (TSE:6723), a premier supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, today announced the expansion of its collaboration with Honda in the field of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).

Honda adopted Renesas’ R-Car automotive system on a chip (SoC) and RH850 automotive MCU for its Honda SENSING Elite system featured in the Legend, which went on sale in March 2021. Honda SENSING Elite incorporates advanced technology that qualifies for Level 3 automated driving (conditional automated driving in limited areas). Now Honda has again selected R-Car and RH850 for use in the Honda SENSING 360 omnidirectional safety and driver assistance system, which builds on the knowledge and expertise gained through research and development work on the earlier technology. The first automobile model equipped with Honda SENSING 360 is scheduled for release in China in 2022, with adoption in a broader range of models to follow.

Furthermore, for the next-generation Honda SENSING 360 system, Honda has selected the R-Car S4 as the main SoC in the electronic control unit (ECU), the core of the ADAS. Through this, Renesas and Honda are expanding their collaboration in the ADAS field to improve safety technologies.
