Overview
Ambarella (NASDAQ: AMBA) is a fabless semiconductor company specializing in low-power, high-definition video processing and computer vision SoCs for edge AI applications. Founded in 2004 by Fermi Wang and Les Kohn, the company's chips power ADAS systems, autonomous driving platforms, security cameras, drones, and robotics.
Its CV3-AD family of automotive AI domain controllers, built on a 5nm process, enables L2+ to L4 autonomous driving and is deployed through partnerships with Continental, SANY Group, Inceptio Technology, and others. Ambarella acquired VisLab (2015) and Oculii (2021) to strengthen its autonomous driving perception and radar capabilities.
