Ambarella’s automotive solutions are designed for both human and computer vision, combining high-resolution imaging and neural network processing into a single, low-power embedded platform. We specialize in edge devices with low latency, high efficiency and exceptional performance, including front ADAS cameras, smart electronic mirrors, drive recorders, and more.

Ambarella’s superior imaging technology shown on a Gentex Full Display Mirror (FDM).
This forward-facing camera is positioned behind the rearview mirror, enabling functions such as automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane departure warning (LDW), forward collision warning (FCW), and more. Front ADAS cameras require rapid computer vision processing at high resolutions and extremely low power (due to an inherently small form factor), all of which are critical for long-distance object detection with a wide field-of-view (for functions such as cross-traffic detection, required by Euro NCAP), making Ambarella solutions ideally suited for the task.
DMS and in-cabin monitoring systems allow the tracking of driver alertness as well as passenger-related data that can assist with the deployment of safety features (e.g., airbags). Ambarella’s hardware processes our customers’ interior-sensing algorithms at high speeds and with low power consumption, even at night (via onboard RGB-IR processing), which results in exceptional performance without compromising efficiency. Our DMS solutions can even be integrated with complementary camera applications, including electronic mirror, front-camera ADAS, high-resolution recording, and more.
Ambarella’s rearview and side-view electronic mirror solutions enhance the visibility of traffic, filter out distracting glare and LED flickering from headlights, and offer intelligent safety features such as Blindspot Monitoring and Overtaking Vehicle Detection – and we do it all with ultra-low latency, delivering the same fluid viewing experience provided by optical mirrors.
Ambarella’s 360-degree surround view solution uses multiple cameras to present a single, unified image of the vehicle from a top-down, bird’s eye view. Offering both 2D and 3D operations, intelligent parking assist features, as well as recording and streaming capabilities, Ambarella’s four-channel surround view systems provide drivers with unobstructed, distortion-free views of the vehicle from every side.
Ambarella’s autonomous technologies have performed successfully in a variety of demanding scenarios, including the DARPA Grand Challenge (2005), a trip from Italy to China in full autonomous mode (2010), and driverless navigation at highway speeds (2015). Today Ambarella continues to advance its research in critical areas of autonomous vehicle development, such as vehicle detection, obstacle detection, pedestrian detection, lane detection, traffic sign recognition, stereovision processing, and terrain mapping, as well as issues related to commercialization and mass production, enabling us to design optimal platforms for applications ranging from L2+ autopilot to full autonomy.
When the primary goal is to capture the highest-quality video—whether to test vehicle performance, to gather critical evidence, or purely for the enjoyment of the road—Ambarella is an established leader in the field, offering both aftermarket and OEM drive recording solutions. We offer single- and multi-channel recorders with automotive-level certification and optional front ADAS features.
