Large image data in the way of automotive computing efficiency

ADS data growth

With the race towards L4+ vehicles, increased number of sensors per car, resolutions, frame rates, etc., the data produced by the systems grows exponentially. So are the costs.

25-60/car
Number of sensors in L4 vehicle
0.4TB/h → 19TB/h
Data rate growth produced by 1 autonomous vehicle
175 zettabytes
Projected data generation from connected cars by 2025
$0.6-10M/year
Costs for 1 vehicle data storage & access on AWS S3

Thus, efficient and cost-effective data handling becomes crucial. Existing infrastructure cannot cope with the demand.

PROBLEM

Traditional lossless compression struggles with scalability due to limited speed and efficiency. While visually lossless algorithms compromise the reliability of ML models for the safety of connected and autonomous vehicle’s (CAV).

Jetraw Core — real-time compression with immediate benefits to your data

WHAT IS iT

Jetraw Core is a high-efficiency low-latency 5-10:1 raw image compression integrated into certified environments, either on-board a vehicle system or in a data centre.

TURN DATA INTO MEASUREMENT

Jetraw applies lossless compression to the signal, following lossy compression to the noise. Thus it retains metrological properties of raw images while achieving higher ratio and speed than traditional lossless methods.

Unlike visually lossless codecs, it preserves raw quality and treats images as measurements, enabling reliable data-centric AI analysis and model training.

JETRAW IN A NUTSHELL

High speed
High ratio
Raw quality
No artifacts
Tailored for AI

Accelerate your ADS time-to-market with 5-10x more seamless data management

Faster acquisition & I/O

Acquire and transmit data faster between memory, FPGA, CPU, on-board, remote and cloud storage, using existing cable and network

Higher throughput

Achieve low-latency higher data throughput rate (FPS, MB/s, Mpx/s), while saving computational and bandwidth resources

Re-use infrastructure & lower costs

Increase storage capacity and generate 5-7x more data on test vehicles without upgrade. Reduce data offloading frequency & storage swaps. Reduce operational & storage costs

More scalable cloud

Upload/download faster from cloud, manage your data more efficiently and cost-effectively

Accurate data for reliable AI

Jetraw delivers format-agnostic raw output in highest quality. The better the quality of data - the higher the accuracy of ML models for safer cars.

Lower energy consumption

Reduce data-related CO2 emissions with smaller storage volume, efficient logistics, and reduced power consumption from on-board to data centres
Get in touch to improve your data performance and reduce costs

Free up time and money and let the data finally work for you

The large image data produced by Level 4-5 autonomous vehicles encounters slow upload/download speeds, and the rapidly expanding volume faces recurrent system capacity limitations.

The costs of cloud storage and access could run into millions of dollars. Jetraw Core addresses such issues and unlocks scalability for OEM and Tier 1 suppliers.
