Tesla’s Game Plan From EV to SDV and AV
Although “cybercabs” with no steering wheel, foot pedals or human drivers are still decades away, Tesla might be able, by touting massive progress in “unsupervised” FSD software, to spin the illusion that its “supervised” FSD is safer than other OEMs’ ADAS vehicles.
Chip Sales: Hang in There, It’s Getting Better
Semiconductor suppliers are getting ready for the industry’s next cyclical upswing. It has started for some companies already. 2025 will see stronger sales across all market sectors.
Tech Leaders Struggle to Mount Opposition to Geopolitics
If there ever was a line separating the business of technology from geopolitics, only its traces are noticeable nowadays. Governments are brazenly dictating the terms of international operations for enterprises based in their territory and even those headquartered elsewhere.
China Speed Is Real
We invited Intel’s Jack Weast and Sino Auto Insights’ Tu Le— two of the best “China hands” in the automotive industry—to talk about what’s real in China.
Will Quantum Computing Eliminate Privacy?
NIST-selected crypto algorithms have reportedly given developers a sufficiently stable target to produce quantum-safe software platforms for data centers. But what about all the crypto acceleration hardware embedded in servers, edge-computing processors, and IoT SoCs?
SDV: Let’s Mention the Elephant in the Room
Despite the fact that “software-defined vehicles (SDV)” are the hottest key words in the automotive market today, the concept is probably the most misunderstood.
Intel Chasing China with Chiplets
Intel Auto is taking advantage of Chinese OEMs’ relentless one-upmanship to win the Chinese market. But the wild card is the U.S. government’s proposed ban on Chinese connected vehicles.
