Automotive Chip Drought Alters OEM/Supplier Balance of Power
The automotive chip shortage has put semiconductor suppliers in the driver’s seat — at least for now. But automakers are wising up. They are rethinking relationships with semiconductor suppliers, while redrawing their next-generation vehicle architectures.
Infineon: The Case for a More Aggressive Strategy
To keep Infineon a strong European brand for generations to come, the company must bulk up with strategic acquisitions. How to do so given a conservative corporate culture will be the main challenge facing its new CEO.
DMS: The Experts’ View
At CES 2022 this week, driver monitoring systems (DMS) are adding a wrinkle to the escalating ADAS/AV SoC race. Options of embedding DMS are many. The question is where and how DMS will land in a vehicle.
IC Aging and Self-Driving Car
Engineers are scrambling to ensure that autonomous vehicles will remain safe even as the chips used within them succumb to natural deterioration over time.
TOPS Priorities Shift for ‘Datacenter on Wheels’
In the ADAS/AV market, the race to a trillion operations per second (TOPS) continues to escalate. At CES 2022. Ambarella, Mobileye and NXP/Hailo shared their diverging approaches to the TOPS race.
