Application of AI PCBs in the Automotive Industry

As the wave of intelligence sweeps through the global automotive industry, the application of artificial intelligence in vehicles is rapidly expanding. Among them, AI PCBs, as the core hardware platform of intelligent automotive electronic systems, serve as a critical carrier for hosting and interconnecting high-performance computing units, sensor interfaces, power management, and high-speed communication modules, providing a solid hardware foundation for autonomous driving, smart cockpits, vehicle networking, and intelligent maintenance.

 

 

 

1. Autonomous Driving Systems

Autonomous driving is one of the most representative applications of artificial intelligence in the automotive field. AI PCBs, serving as key hardware platforms within autonomous driving control units, host and interconnect AI processors (such as GPUs and NPUs) and high-speed data buses to enable the rapid transmission and fusion of data collected from cameras, millimeter-wave radar, and LiDAR sensors. Leveraging deep-learning algorithms and AI processors deployed on these boards, the system can accurately identify lanes, traffic signs, pedestrians, and obstacles in real time, and carry out path planning and decision-making. The high performance and stability of AI PCBs provide a solid guarantee for the safe operation of autonomous driving systems in complex road environments.

 

 

Key functions include:

* Lane keeping and departure warning.

* Automatic parking assistance.

* Active obstacle avoidance and emergency braking.

* Highway autonomous cruise control.

 

 

2. Smart Cockpits

AI PCBs are widely used in smart cockpit systems, serving as essential hardware platforms for vehicle central control units, displays, cameras, voice assistants, and other modules. They provide reliable electrical connections and signal transmission to enable smarter human-machine interaction. By optimizing high-speed signal routing, power distribution, and thermal design, AI PCBs effectively support multimodal perception and edge AI computing, making the cockpit more personalized, comfortable, and intelligent. For example:

 

 

* Voice recognition controls navigation, audio, and air conditioning, etc.

* Facial recognition enables personalized settings and keyless start.

* Emotion recognition adjusts interior ambient lighting and music style.

* Gesture recognition provides convenient operation.

 

 

3. Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)

In Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) systems, AI PCBs serve as key hardware platforms enabling information interconnection and sharing between vehicles and their surrounding environment. V2X systems built around these boards can effectively improve traffic efficiency and driving safety, laying a solid foundation for intelligent transportation. By hosting communication modules and supporting the deployment of AI algorithms, AI PCBs can enable:

 

 

* Exchange road condition information with other vehicles to avoid traffic congestion.

* Interact with infrastructure to recognize traffic signal status.

* Detect potential hazards through networked perception and issue early warnings.

* Enable cloud-based data exchange for remote control and OTA updates.

 

 

4. Intelligent Maintenance

Traditional vehicle maintenance relies on experience and periodic inspections, whereas AI PCBs provide the hardware foundation for vehicles to achieve “self-perception” and “intelligent diagnostics.” Serving as a key hardware platform, they host sensors and algorithms processing units to collect and transmit real-time data on critical components such as batteries, motors, and braking systems. This supports subsequent analysis and fault prediction, thereby enabling:

 

 

* Fault prediction and condition assessment.

* Remote diagnostics and maintenance recommendations.

* Reduced maintenance costs and extended vehicle lifespan.

 

 

5. Energy Efficiency Management for Electric Vehicles

In the field of new energy electric vehicles, AI PCBs also play a vital role. In particular, within Battery Management Systems (BMS), they serve as key platforms that host and connect BMS control chips and sensors, providing reliable electrical support for precise algorithms that manage charging and discharging, thermal regulation, and cell balancing. This effectively improves battery utilization efficiency and operational safety. The application of AI PCBs helps electric vehicles achieve lower energy consumption, longer driving range, and enhanced overall performance. Their key functions include:

 

 

* Intelligent battery status assessment (SOC/SOH).

* Real-time adjustment of thermal management system.

* Optimized energy recovery strategies.

* Intelligent control of power distribution.

 

 

AI PCBs are becoming one of the key driving forces in the development of intelligent vehicles, demonstrating broad application prospects in areas such as autonomous driving, smart cockpits, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity, intelligent maintenance, and electric vehicles. Looking ahead, as automotive-grade AI chips mature and edge computing capabilities continue to improve, AI PCBs will keep providing robust hardware support for the automotive industry’s move toward higher levels of intelligence and connectivity.
