State-of-the-art R-Car deep learning technology at low power consumption
The R-Car V3U delivers highly flexible DNN (Deep Neural Network) and AI machine learning functions. Its flexible architecture is capable of handling any state-of-the-art neural networks for automotive obstacle detection and classification tasks while maintaining 60 TOPS with low power consumption and an air cooling system.

While "flexible DNN and AI machine learning functions" sounds like Akida, the botom right of the Computer Vision abd Deep larning block shows a CNN IP accelerator. Not totally surprising as the date is 18 December 2020, a week before the BRD-Renesas IP licence.

However:
"We are excited to introduce the newest generation of our popular R-Car SoCs for the next generation of ADAS and AD vehicles,” said Naoki Yoshida, Vice President, Automotive Digital Products Marketing Division at Renesas. "The R-Car V3U leverages assets developed on previous-generation devices, such as ADAS and Level 2 perception stack with the R-Car V3M and R-Car V3H, along with the Renesas autonomy platform, to offer a smooth migration path to single-chip Level 3 automated driving with short development turnaround and safe production launch."

Single chip matches with an IP licence, so next time lucky?
