On September 8, the 2025 International Motor Show Germany (IAA MOBILITY 2025) officially opened in Munich under the theme “It’s All About Mobility.” The event brought together mobility companies from around the world, showcasing innovative technologies and products while fostering thought-provoking discussions among industry experts and opinion leaders to envision the creative future of mobility.
At IAA Mobility 2025, Axera, an AI chip company focused on the mobility sector, made its overseas exhibition debut, steadily advancing the company’s global strategic positioning.
Global ADAS Solution Debut：
At the exhibition, Axera showcased for the first time a demonstration of an ADAS solution based on its M57 chip, developed in collaboration with STRADVISION, a leading AI visual perception technology company. This solution is designed for global ADAS development.
Specifically, this is a front-view sensing integrated solution powered by Axera’s M57.
The demo utilizes M57 as the main control chip, equipped with an 8-megapixel HD camera with a 120° horizontal field of view. It deploys STRADVISION’s 3D visual perception algorithms to achieve static object detection, vehicle/pedestrian detection, lane/road boundary detection, traffic sign/signal recognition, and free space detection, supporting L2 ADAS functions such as AEB, ACC, and LCC.
Thanks to M57’s excellent overall performance, the solution’s key highlight is its ability to operate under ultra-low power conditions while maintaining optimized detection and processing performance, making it a highly competitive offering for the global ADAS market.
More notably, this solution fully complies with China’s upcoming AEB regulations, as M57 prioritizes functional safety at an unprecedented level.
Currently, this solution has secured mass production customers and is expected to enter production as early as 2026.
At the show, Axera’s key perception partner Nullmax, also showcased perception solutions based on M57. Nullmax is an AI technology company focused on smart driving applications with full-stack autonomous driving algorithm development capabilities. Their solutions have been validated for mass production across multiple vehicle models, fully complying with regulatory requirements in China and various global markets.
At the venue, Nullmax demonstrated forward perception algorithms based on M57 and their proprietary BEV-Transformer platform architecture, featuring ultra-long perception distance and ultra-high perception frame rates exceeding 20 fps. The system integrates multiple functional modules, including obstacle detection, lane recognition, and traffic sign identification, significantly improving 3D object detection and lane perception accuracy. By fusing temporal information to enhance trajectory prediction capabilities, the system provides more reliable environmental perception and decision support for intelligent ADAS.
M57 is Axera’s main control chip for global ADAS development, launched at Auto Shanghai 2025.
M57 achieves comprehensive performance improvements over previous generations:
The proprietary AXNeutron NPU delivers 10 TOPS of computing power, with native support for mixed precision and BEV algorithms. The proprietary AXProton AI-ISP, which boosts driver assistance performance, is optimized for automotive scenarios, providing high-definition image quality under various extreme lighting conditions, while its low-latency characteristics provide reliable input for subsequent planning and control systems.
Additionally, M57 integrates an MCU with a built-in safety island, enabling ASIL-B and ASIL-D level functional safety at the chip level to meet stringent domestic and international regulatory requirements. In terms of power consumption design, M57 also performs excellently, with power consumption not exceeding 3.5W at 125°C junction temperature, accommodating both EV and ICE vehicle needs, truly driving “intelligence equality for both ICE vehicles and EVs.”
In terms of chip security and corresponding solutions, M57 fully meets global regulatory frameworks. The product design strictly follows functional safety and cybersecurity processes, ensuring comprehensive protection for safe and reliable mobility experiences.
M57 is technically designed to meet overseas L2 requirements, achieving ASIL-B functional safety levels and complying with both domestic and international cybersecurity standards. All products have earned ISO/SAE 21434:2021 automotive cybersecurity certification, ensuring comprehensive safety protection from chips to toolchains. This approach helps meet overseas regulatory and supply chain requirements, giving automakers a strong foundation for global expansion.
The various demo solutions on display also signal that M57 is nearing mass production deployment.
Complete Automotive Intelligence Hardware Lineup
At the birthplace of automobiles, Axera also presented its complete lineup of automotive AI chips, including M57, M55H, and M76H.
Axera also showcased a complete series of development platforms based on its proprietary automotive AI chips. The lineup included the M55H reference platform for ADAS and CMS applications, the M76H platform for driving and parking integration with highway NOA capabilities, the M76H co-processor platform for intelligent cockpit computing, and the M57 reference platform for global ADAS solutions.
Additionally, partner application solutions built on Axera’s mass production chips were also showcased in Munich.
These include:
-Maxieye’s ADAS integrated solution based on M55H and ADAS domain controller built on M76H;
-MOTOVIS’s mid-to-high-end ADAS domain controller built on M76H;
-Hirige’s ADAS integrated solution built on M55H;
-Fvidar’s vision-radar fusion sensor solution built on M76H.
As part of automotive intelligence, a CMS (Camera Monitor System) demonstration unit powered by M55H computing capabilities also debuted at this exhibition.
These represent key technology solutions through which Axera is deeply empowering mobility intelligence.
Making its debut at IAA Mobility, Axera attracted numerous supply chain partners and automotive partners for in-depth visits and exchanges.
Axera is a Chinese AI chip developer currently focused on the automotive AI chip business, with multiple generations of chip products launched. The company has achieved mass deployment of AI chips across production models from multiple domestic automakers, joint venture automakers, and emerging automakers, with rich mass production experience and shipments reaching hundreds of thousands of units.
With the global wave of automotive intelligence, Axera is expanding its target market beyond domestic boundaries to the global arena, providing intelligent computing solutions for both domestic automakers’ overseas models and international automakers.
Establishing a foothold in the scaled ADAS market is only the first step for Axera’s automotive business. Currently, Axera is also actively developing high-computing-power AI chips for advanced autonomous driving scenarios and intelligent cockpit AI chips for the upcoming large model era. The global intelligent automotive and mobility industries are undergoing profound transformation. Axera aims to create industry value through AI chips, positioning itself as a long-term value partner for the global automotive industry.
