Autolink Partners with AMD to Advance Intelligent Connected Vehicle Technologies

Autolink has entered into a collaboration with AMD to accelerate innovation across intelligent connected vehicle technologies, including domain controllers, intelligent driving systems, artificial intelligence, and in-vehicle entertainment. The announcement was made on January 6 in Las Vegas, as the global automotive sector continues its rapid shift toward electrification, intelligence, and connectivity.

The partnership reflects growing industry momentum around software-defined vehicles, where computing performance, system integration, and AI capabilities increasingly shape vehicle safety, functionality, and user experience.

 

Intelligent Computing at the Core of Vehicle Transformation

 

As automakers move beyond feature-led differentiation, intelligent driving and digital cockpit experiences are becoming central to how future vehicles are designed and evaluated. Advanced AI and high-performance computing now underpin key functions such as perception, decision-making, and human-machine interaction.

The adoption of domain-based electronic and electrical architectures, heterogeneous computing platforms, and AI inference engines is reshaping traditional automotive system design. These technologies enable faster data processing, reduced latency, and tighter integration across vehicle domains, supporting both safety-critical systems and immersive infotainment experiences.

 

Deep Fusion EEA Built on AMD Adaptive SoCs

 

Under the collaboration, Autolink will develop a Deep Fusion Electronic and Electrical Architecture built on AMD Versal AI Edge Series Gen 2 adaptive SoCs. These devices offer a highly integrated architecture, strong computing performance, and design flexibility, allowing multiple vehicle domains to be deeply integrated within a single system framework.

By leveraging AMD’s adaptive computing capabilities, Autolink aims to enable low-latency data transmission and robust intelligent driving functions while maintaining high standards of safety and reliability. The architecture is intended to support centralized computing, zonal control, and AI-driven workloads within next-generation vehicle platforms.

Expanding In-Vehicle Entertainment and User Experience

 

The collaboration also extends to in-vehicle entertainment systems. Autolink and AMD plan to jointly develop high-performance platforms that support next-generation gaming as well as AI-enabled audio-visual experiences. These systems are designed to deliver more immersive and responsive cabin environments, reflecting rising consumer expectations around digital experiences inside vehicles.

 

Strategic Perspectives from Both Companies

 

Yang Hongze, Founder and Chairman of Autolink, noted that competition in intelligent vehicles is shifting from individual features to system-level capabilities. He emphasized that the integration of zonal control, AI computing, and software architecture will define the ceiling of next-generation vehicle intelligence. According to Yang, AMD’s adaptive computing technology provides a critical foundation for advancing Autolink’s Deep Fusion E/E architecture and accelerating the transition of these technologies into mass production.

From AMD’s perspective, the partnership underscores the growing importance of high-performance and adaptive computing in the automotive sector. Wayne Lyons, Senior Director of Automotive Markets at AMD, highlighted that AMD’s strengths in advanced architectures and AI inference are well aligned with the needs of intelligent connected vehicles, supporting safer, smarter, and more engaging mobility experiences.
