MediaTek and DENSO Collaborate on Automotive SoCs for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems
Thursday, January 22, 2026
HSINCHU, Dec. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- MediaTek, a global leader in innovative semiconductor solutions, today announced that it is working closely with DENSO, one of the world's leading automotive technology providers, to develop a custom automotive System-on-Chip (SoC) solution tailored for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and cockpit systems. This joint effort merges DENSO's automotive-grade safety expertise and deep vehicle integration with MediaTek's technologies cultivated through the development of Dimensity AX, leveraging power-efficient, high performance SoCs and AI capabilities to offer a scalable, production-ready platform for next-generation driver assistance.
The collaboration leverages three key pillars to deliver breakthrough ADAS capabilities:
-- Automotive-Grade Safety, Reliability & Compliance LeadershipDrawing from
DENSO's proven safety and system engineering prowess, the custom SoC
targets ISO 26262 compliance, enabling ASIL-B/D levels of functional
safety. Supported by AEC-Q100 qualification and automotive-standard
system integration, the platform ensures robust reliability for
automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers worldwide.
-- Industry-Leading AI Compute, Perception Architecture, and IP
PortfolioMediaTek brings best-in-class heterogeneous compute
capabilities, featuring dedicated AI/NPU accelerators and advanced ISP
for superior performance in ADAS applications. The platform supports
multi-sensor fusion--including camera, radar, and lidar--using advanced
vision pipelines, all optimized in tandem with DENSO's domain expertise.
-- Faster Design Quality and Time-To-MarketThe joint solution delivers
higher system design quality and accelerated time to market (TTM) thanks
to a comprehensive portfolio of pre-validated, automotive-grade IP,
safety work products, reference designs, and toolchains aligned to ISO
26262 and AUTOSAR standards.
"Through this collaboration, we are bringing two industry leaders together to support the most demanding requirements of global automotive manufacturers and system integrators, exceeding benchmarks in safety, power efficiency, and AI-enabled perception to advance the future of assisted driving," said Dr. Mike Chang, Corporate Vice President and General Manager of Automotive Business at MediaTek. "We are rapidly growing our portfolio of leading-edge technologies to redefine the automotive experience for customers across the globe."
Technical highlights of the new platform include:
-- Full functional safety (ISO 26262 ASIL-B/D), safety island, and lockstep
compute
-- AEC-Q100 qualification, AUTOSAR, and automotive networking (TSN, CAN FD,
LIN)
-- Heterogeneous compute with dedicated AI/NPU accelerators and advanced
ISP
-- Multi-camera MIPI CSI-2, sensor fusion for camera/radar/lidar, ISP, ECC,
OTA support
MediaTek, through its partnership with DENSO, aims to shape the future of intelligent mobility and enable rapid deployment of advanced driver-assistance systems across global markets.
