Automotive semiconductor trend report
The four overarching trends impacting the automotive market in the coming years comprise autonomous driving, electrification, connectivity, and shared mobility. This list could of course be lengthened to include trends ultimately stemming from these four….digital cockpit, Internet of Things, HMI, new vehicle architectures, etc. This report addresses these aspects and their implications for semiconductor and sensors.
The four overarching trends impacting the automotive market in the coming years comprise autonomous driving, electrification, connectivity, and shared mobility. This list could of course be lengthened to include trends ultimately stemming from these four - digital cockpit, internet of things, HMI, new vehicle architectures, etc. This report addresses these aspects and their implications for semiconductor and sensors. It answers questions such as:
- What are the new applications for semiconductors and sensors because of autonomy?
- Do the applications drive semiconductor development or do improvements in semiconductor manufacturing technology drive the applications?
- What are the future memory requirements for infotainment systems?
- How will domain controllers and gateways evolve in the new vehicle electronic architecture?
- What are zonal architectures and what does it mean for ICs?
- What is the impact of connectivity and OTA?
- What does the future fuse box look like and how many semiconductors will it contain?
- How does electrification affect the sensing business?
