How Software-Defined Vehicles Change Auto Chip Design


The shift to software-defined vehicles is changing nearly every aspect of automotive design, from what hardware is added into vehicles, when it gets added, and what gets left behind. Moving key features to software rather than hardware allows carmakers to bring new features to market faster, at a lower cost, and to modify those features more quickly. It is also expected to drive up the value... » read more

SLM Evolves Into Critical Aspect Of Chip Design And Operation
