Essential for Level 4 / 5 self driving

Xilinx is not a name that you associate that much with the automotive industry, but these guys actually play in most of the self driving and other automotive markets.

The company has a solution for full display mirror, driver monitor system, auto trailer hitch, mono front camera module, stereo front camera module, LiDAR, Radar, heads up display, EV car charger and surround view. These are some of the examples where the company has direct wins with car manufacturers.
LiDAR sensors multiple designs

LiDAR is a detection system that uses the principle of radar, but instead of radio waves, it uses much more reliable light. LiDAR is more precise than radar and it can result in a very detailed map of the vehicle surroundings. People close to the matter have confirmed to Fudzilla that Xilinx has the majority of the market share in LiDAR systems. We cound not get exact numbers but the fact that it dominates this market is a great win for the automotive wing of Xilinx.

It is hard to imagine that there could be Level 5 or even Level 4 self driving vehicle without LiDAR. This is why Xilinx - as a market leader - will gain a lot of business directly affecting the positive financial streams.
