On August 8, 2024, Black Sesame Technologies, a company specializing in AI chips for smart vehicles, was listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Founded in 2016, Black Sesame is a provider of intelligent vehicle computer chips and chip-based solutions for the automotive industry. The company has set up research and sales centers in Wuhan, Silicon Valley, Shanghai, Chengdu, Shenzhen, Chongqing and Singapore.
Currently, Black Sesame has launched two major product lines: the Huashan series, designed for autonomous driving, and the Wudang series, which focuses on cross-domain computing.
The Huashan A1000 family of SoCs are designed for autonomous driving and support BEV fusion algorithms for L3 and below application scenarios.
The Huashan® A1000 automotive-grade high-performance autonomous driving chip is suitable for L2+ and L3 level autonomous driving. It is currently the most widely used autonomous driving chip among Chinese mass-produced automakers and the only local chip platform that can support single-chip integrated domain controllers.
According to reports, the Huashan A1000 chip is already in full mass production and is being adopted by several leading Chinese automakers, including FAW Group, Dongfeng Group, Geely Group and JAC Group. It is used in production models such as Lynk & Co 08, Hycan V09, Dongfeng eπ007 and the first pure electric SUV Dongfeng eπ008. The next-generation SoC, Huashan A2000, is currently under development and is expected to be launched in 2024.
The Wudang C1200 family of intelligent cross-domain computing chips for vehicles was launched in April 2023. After tape-out, all tests were completed with successful functional and performance verification. Sample chips are now available to customers.
As an “all-in-one” chip, the C1200 family is aimed at multi-domain integration and cross-domain computing. It covers the core scenarios of intelligent vehicles with a single chip, making intelligent vehicles more powerful as a whole. Black Sesame expects to achieve sales of the C1200 in 2024 and start mass production before 2025.
