# RISC-V China Summit automotive processor roadmap announcement

At the RISC-V China Summit in Shenzhen, Alibaba Damo Academy's XuanTie unit released the automotive-enhanced processor E908A, which it describes as the first RISC-V CPU IP to meet both ASIL-B and ASIL-D standards, with a single-point fault metric (SPFM) above 90% for the first time in the industry, aimed at safety islands, domain controllers and automotive gateways. Damo also published its first autonomous-driving and embodied-intelligence product roadmap, with the next-generation C950A targeting five times the performance of existing RISC-V automotive products. RISC-V had mainly been framed as an open instruction-set architecture advancing in general-purpose and server fields; automotive safety grades are a new threshold it is entering.
