"Developed in bilateral partnership with Intel Automotive, Karma Automotive’s SDVA technology will be a gamechanger for our vehicles starting with the 1,000HP+ Karma Kaveya due in 2026, offering unbeatable advantages across a wide range of fronts including computing speed and power, upgradeable functionalities and vehicle connectivity, ease of manufacture, vehicle safety, and, as we’re demonstrating at CES, powertrain performance and efficiency," says Marques McCammon, President, Karma Automotive. "SDVA will transform the Karma vehicle experience, and by creating an open ecosystem for SDVA together with Intel Automotive, we’ll transform software development practices to benefit the entire industry."
Within Intel Automotive’s presence at the Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas, Karma will show its Intel co-branded inverter – the device converts a direct current (DC) supply from the vehicle’s batteries into an alternating current (AC) – which will incorporate Optimal Pulse Pattern programming to control the vehicle’s EMotors to improve efficiency. A simulated dyno test will demonstrate 4 driving profiles – Highway, City, Park, and Charge – illustrating wheel torque (NM), wheel speed (RPM), power (W), and efficiency (%) achieved through Torque Ripple Reduction and Range Boost parameters managing powertrain and energy telemetry. Energy savings (Wh) and range increase (Km) achieved through these processes will also be displayed. Renderings of Intel Automotive’s technology aboard the Karma Kaveya super-coupe details locations of the E-motors and inverters, batteries, wiring, select Zonal controllers (ZC) and High Performance Computers(HPC).
