From "premium" to "universal", advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are reaching a crucial turning point. ADAS is moving towards broader accessibility—by leveraging technological innovation and cost restructuring, high-end features that were once limited to luxury models are now becoming available to a wider range of consumers, making the technology affordable, usable, and effective.
In response to this market demand, Nullmax has teamed up with Black Sesame Technologies to create a mass-production ADAS solution. This solution targets mainstream vehicles priced between CNY 80,000 and CNY 150,000. It is built on Nullmax’s full-stack, self-developed software technology architecture and combined with advanced visual perception algorithms. By using a single Black Sesame Technologies Wudang® C1236 cross-domain computing chip (SOC), the system integrates software and hardware, delivering a high-performance ADAS solution. The solution includes functions such as city memory navigation assistance, highway navigation assistance, and memory parking, addressing the real-world travel needs of users in urban and highway scenarios. This provides a new choice for "equal access to ADAS," bringing smart driving experiences from high-end vehicles to the daily commutes of the general public.
Nullmax is an innovation-driven AI tech company committed to creating autonomous driving applications for all scenarios and accelerating the intelligent transformation of the mobility industry. Its outstanding visual perception algorithms and powerful ADAS solutions are widely recognized in the mass-production sector, applicable to numerous production models across various platforms, with progress steadily advancing. Nullmax excels in areas such as BEV-AI algorithm deployment and multi-core heterogeneous computing platform development, with extensive technical expertise and mass-production experience.
Black Sesame Technologies, founded in 2016, is a leading supplier of automotive-grade intelligent computing chips and chip-based solutions. The company was officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2024 under stock code 2533.HK. Initially focused on the Huashan series of high-performance chips for autonomous driving, in 2023, Black Sesame launched the Wudang series of cross-domain computing chips to meet the more diversified and complex needs of advanced automotive features, while expanding into more application areas.
By collaborating, Nullmax and Black Sesame leverage the stability and cost-effectiveness of the C1236 chip alongside Nullmax’s leading algorithms and mass-production engineering capabilities to jointly create a benchmark smart ADAS solution aimed at the mainstream market. This is not just the launch of a product, but a profound realization of the "equal access to ADAS" concept—making smart technology truly accessible to the public. The partnership provides the industry with more cost-effective and easy-to-implement ADAS solutions, delivering practical, safe, and intelligent travel experiences for a broader user base. Both companies will continue to deepen their strategic cooperation to drive technological innovation, promote the mass production and adoption of ADAS solutions, and make intelligent driving assistance a standard feature for users, fulfilling the industry's mission of "technological equality".
