Automotive Growing In 2023
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Automotive has to be one of the most fascinating industries where semiconductors and the semiconductor ecosystem are making huge strides. From the evolution of increasingly autonomous vehicles, to more immersive driver and passenger comfort and infotainment experiences, along with additional safety-related features, it’s a rich development environment. I recently had the opportunity to dis... » read more

AI/ML’s Role In ADAS

Self-driving cars are headed this way, but not for a while. And that’s not a bad thing. As I discuss in my article, “Where Should Auto Sensor Data Be Processed?” there is still much to be worked out just on the technology side, such as how and where to process the significant amount of data coming into the vehicle from the outside world.

Automakers Gear Up For Autonomy
By Ann Mutschler - 01 Nov, 2018 - Comments: 0

Even though it’s going to be a number of years before autonomous cars are everywhere, the technology to make it happen is already rolling out in stages, giving the automotive ecosystem a chance to gear up as development happens. From electronic fleet management systems, which are already prevalent in semi trucks today, to more sophistication in passenger vehicle driver assistance features, it... » read more

Automotive Safety Requirements Impact Ecosystem
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Oct, 2018 - Comments: 0

As activity by the automotive industry ramps to include sophisticated electronics for things like electrification and autonomous features, the changes that have already begun across the automotive supply chain in support of these are driving up complexity for semiconductor design teams on an exponential scale. For IP providers like ArterisIP, vice president of marketing, Kurt Shuler, said th... » read more

Getting To Automotive Grade
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Given the amount of activity surrounding automotive semiconductor design today design teams want to know how to approach designs for a market they may not yet be intimately familiar with. EDA vendors are very quickly ramping tools and services to help them get there. One of these is Mentor, A Siemens Business, which has actually been working in this market segment for two decades. Andrew ... » read more

Auto Chip Ecosystem Needs Common Language
By Ann Mutschler - 02 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

In order to reach the levels of robustness that autonomous vehicles will require, companies throughout the automotive and semiconductor ecosystem are working with an eye toward high-sigma design. But along with this robustness, there must be a clear understanding of the situation at hand, how semiconductors can improve the number of vehicle fatalities, and make sure everyone is communicating... » read more

Flexibility A Key For Future Cars

First, a bit of eye candy seen in IC Manage’s booth at the recent Design Automation Conference in San Francisco. The McLaren P1 GTR. It was impossible not to stop and drool over this gorgeous, non-street-legal racecar, where all bets are off when it comes to following safety and reliability specifications.

Smart Farming Accelerates
By Ann Mutschler - 03 May, 2018 - Comments: 0

Today I’m taking a brief, but related, detour from my usual automotive blog topics to discuss a bit of what’s happening related to autonomy but in the agricultural industry. This industry carries a market cap of $42.7 billion as a whole for the construction and agricultural machinery market, according to The New York Times, although still smaller than the semiconductor segment, with its ... » read more

Committing To Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The autonomous driving effort has hit some painful speedbumps lately, with Tesla and Uber feeling the brunt of these. Unfortunately, the recent fatal accidents demonstrate just how challenging it is to get this technology right, and why some in this space have downshifted their efforts to learn from what happened and how to prevent it going forward. This prompted Nvidia to suspend its effort... » read more

Autonomous Cars Have Far-Reaching Impacts
By Ann Mutschler - 01 Mar, 2018 - Comments: 0

Within the semiconductor ecosystem, autonomous vehicle technology is already having a gigantic impact as far as chip and tool development, education about what this all means, new relationships and partnerships -- among other things that hit closer to home such as how autonomous vehicles will impact our professional and personal lives. Sundari Mitra, CEO of NetSpeed Systems has been closely ... » read more
