CES 2026: NXP looks to unlock potential of AI-powered vehicles | Computer Weekly

"With the aim of unlocking the full potential of AI-powered vehicles, NXP Semiconductors has unveiled the S32N7 super-integration processor series for the intelligent vehicle core, designed to enable vehicle original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to differentiate their fleets, as well as control and evolve the vehicle platform throughout its lifecycle. Engineering and technology company Bosch is the first to deploy the system in its vehicle integration platform."

"Overall, NXP assured that the S32N7 processor series redefines mobility by unlocking innovation beyond infotainment and autonomy, going deep into the core vehicle functions. For OEMs, the key business benefit is said to be simplification and measurable cost savings; for drivers, it could mean an intuitive vehicle experience that anticipates their needs. Building on the same 5 nm foundation as the previous chip in the company's range, the S32N7 represents the latest evolution in NXP's S32 automotive processing platform."

"It is designed to deliver "advanced super-integration" capabilities to address the complexity of intelligent vehicle architectures, enabling automakers to accelerate their shift to artificial intelligence (AI)-powered vehicles. NXP said the new series will deliver "safe" modular computing with hardware-enforced function isolation, enabling OEMs to consolidate securely multiple vehicle core functions, including body, motion, chassis control and vehicle dynamics. S32N7 is claimed to extend these features by adding integrated functions for gateway, data management and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) support up to Level 2 autonomy."

NXP unveiled the S32N7 super-integration processor series for the intelligent vehicle core to enable OEMs to differentiate fleets and control vehicle platforms across their lifecycle. Bosch is the first deployer of the system in its vehicle integration platform. The S32N7 builds on a 5 nm foundation and consolidates up to eight domains onto a single platform. It provides hardware-enforced function isolation for safe modular computing, supports gateway and data management, and offers ADAS support up to Level 2, agentic AI capabilities, advanced networking and ultra-low power operation. The platform aims to simplify architectures and reduce costs while enabling differentiated vehicle experiences.
