Chinese autonomous driving chipmaker Black Sesame Technologies has officially unveiled its FAD 2.0 open platform, a near–mass production–ready system designed to support full-scenario, general-purpose assisted driving, the company said.
Built around the A2000 high-computing-power platform, FAD 2.0 integrates supporting software development kits (SDKs), an AI toolchain, end-to-end and vision-language-action (VLA) reference models, as well as third-party algorithm models. The platform is designed to provide automakers and developers with a comprehensive solution for developing and deploying advanced driver assistance systems.
Black Sesame said the A2000 FAD 2.0 platform is scheduled for official launch in the first quarter of 2026.
The release underscores the company’s push to accelerate the commercialization of intelligent driving technologies, as competition intensifies among chipmakers and software providers seeking to supply scalable solutions for next-generation vehicles.
