Subaru and Infineon Collaborate on MCU for Integrated ADAS and Vehicle Control
2026
What Happened
Subaru Corporation and Infineon Technologies AG are collaborating on the design of a microcontroller unit (MCU) for an integrated electronic control unit (ECU) that will coordinate advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and vehicle motion control. The MCU, based on Infineon's AURIX TC4x series, is being optimized for Subaru's requirements, including compatibility with battery electric, gasoline, and hybrid vehicles.
The integrated ECU will combine Subaru's next-generation EyeSight with all-wheel drive (AWD) control, aiming to enhance ADAS capabilities and vehicle dynamics. Subaru expects this to improve the fundamental performance of 'driving, turning, and stopping,' delivering greater customer confidence and peace of mind. The company has been involved from the early development stage to tailor the MCU's design specifications.
Why this matters
This collaboration aims to improve ADAS and vehicle dynamics by achieving ultra-low latency and low power consumption, enhancing safety and driving performance for future Subaru vehicles.
