➀ Sony announced the release of the ISX038 CMOS image sensor for automotive cameras, with a 1/1.7-inch sensor size and approximately 8.39 million effective pixels. The sensor is the first in the industry to handle and output both RAW and YUV images simultaneously. It features a stack structure with a pixel chip and a logic chip with Sony's SSS ISP, providing high-precision detection and recognition capabilities for the environment outside the vehicle. However, the high price of the product has sparked controversy. ➁ Sony's product is priced at 15,000 yen (about $100), which is at least twice as high as the price of similar products from Chinese manufacturers. ➃ The market for automotive cameras is growing due to the rise of intelligent driving, with China leading in the production and sales of new energy vehicles. Chinese CMOS suppliers are also emerging as a result.
