TOKYO, Japan, Feb 25, 2026 – Renesas Electronics has secured a design win for its ADAS automotive system-on-chip (SoC), R-Car V4H. The chip powers the TSS(LSS) control unit in Toyota Motor Corporation’s new RAV4, which debuted in Dec’25. The control unit is supplied by Denso Corporation. The R-Car V4H performs camera and radar sensor fusion, driver monitor, advanced park, and panoramic view processing. The SoC handles ADAS workloads that support vehicle safety functions.

The R-Car V4H processes front-camera data in the TSS(LSS) control unit using on-chip image recognition and AI neural networks. It fuses camera data with radar inputs to support ADAS functions that detect vehicles, pedestrians, and obstacles.

The GPU renders 3D panoramic views from front, rear, left, and right cameras to assist in parking. It combines camera feeds with ultrasonic sensor data to identify parking spaces and assess nearby obstacles. The SoC also processes in-cabin camera data to monitor driver condition as part of its ADAS and vehicle safety functions.

“We’re thrilled to see our R-Car V4H adopted in the RAV4,” said Vivek Bhan, Senior Vice President and General Manager of High Performance Computing at Renesas. “Toyota is using a wide range of our automotive technologies from ADAS SoCs to microcontrollers and power devices. We’ll continue to support the development of future-ready mobility solutions powered by intelligent vehicle technology.”
