As the shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy accelerates, the Battery Management System (BMS) has become a critical component, ensuring the optimal performance, safety, and longevity of batteries. From protecting against hazardous conditions to maximizing battery efficiency, BMS technology is driving the future of electric mobility.

Say goodbye to old-school diagnostics and hello to the future of automotive care! Service-oriented vehicle diagnostics is here to supercharge your car’s health checkups. Imagine your vehicle as a smart, self-monitoring machine that knows what’s wrong before you do — detecting issues faster, fixing them smarter, and keeping you cruising smoothly on the road.

Transformation in the automotive industry is so fast, as cars are now evolving into a comfortable “Phone on Wheels,” integrating advanced technologies to enhance safety, efficiency, and user experience. But is your vehicle connected enough?

The Cockpit Domain Controller (CDC) is seeing a spike in demand with a number of factors, including user experience, several integrated functions, the rise of electric and autonomous vehicles, and lastly strict safety and regulatory criteria.

Generative AI is revolutionizing automotive practices by creating designs and crafting personalized driving experiences. Despite the latest innovations of this technology, human involvement remains crucial to drive safety and ethical development.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) represent a significant leap forward in automotive technology, designed to enhance vehicle safety and improve the driving experience. These systems use a combination of sensors, cameras, radar, and other technologies to assist drivers in navigating and controlling their vehicles, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents and improving overall road safety.

Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) are becoming a cornerstone of modern vehicle safety, leveraging advanced technology to enhance road safety by keeping an eye on the driver’s state. These systems use a combination of cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence to monitor the driver’s behavior and detect signs of fatigue, distraction, or impairment. As DMS technology advances, it presents both significant challenges and promising opportunities for the automotive industry.

The automotive industry is transitioning to Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs), where software drives vehicle features and functions. This shift is leading to centralized electronics architectures, starting with the cockpit to simplify in-vehicle systems and meet consumer demand for advanced features.

Over the coming decade, the automotive sector is poised for a transformative shift unparalleled in a century. This transformation will be propelled by four interrelated trends: autonomous, connected, electric, and shared (ACES) vehicles. This will usher in changes in consumer habits and mobility preferences, reconfiguring the landscape of value distribution, fostering innovative business strategies, and welcoming new players to the automotive arena. These trends are underpinned by technological progress in electronics and software, exerting significant influence on the automotive electronics and software market.

As vehicles grow increasingly complex and software-based, a new sort of engineering expertise is required. By Megan Lampinen

The road to software-defined vehicles is paved with innovative E/E architecture. OEMs and chipmakers, make strategic choices now!

The automotive industry will demand more advanced technologies to accommodate the future of mobility effectively

Electric vehicles are quickly growing in popularity. Viewed as a better alternative to fossil fuel vehicles, electric vehicle technology is still in its infancy with plenty of room to grow. Several factors including shortcomings with technology, range anxiety, and compatibility are all obstacles currently facing electric vehicle OEMs in today’s market

The origin of in-vehicle infotainment systems (IVI) can be traced back to as early as the 1900s, with the push-button AM radios being considered the first-ever feature. Ever since, IVI systems have become indispensable in creating a spectacular in-vehicle experience, so much so that cars have been famously dubbed as “smartphones on wheels.”

In recent years, AI's integration into the automotive sector has brought about a wave of advancements. From self-driving cars and advanced driver-assistance systems to enhanced manufacturing processes, the impact of AI on the automotive industry is nothing short of revolutionary.

When I was having coffee with a younger brother, he asked me, when he was using or operating on his Toyota Camry, why its driving couldn't be as beautiful and smooth as when used on the phone. So thanks to that question, I started to find the answer for myself and him.

Connected devices and electronic control systems have revolutionized the vehicles and the driving experience as such. However, not only the final products but also the process of automotive software development has undergone a dramatic change

This revolution has seen the number of these units rose to over 6.20 billion units in 2018, and it is expected to increase exponentially in the future. So what are the trends that promote the increase of the engine control unit market and what are the challenges to the ECU market growth?

As self-driving cars tend to become more of a conceptual reality rather than an idea, the question of how they’ll interact with other vehicles becomes more and more pressing. As such, we can see a new concept taking shape: the Internet of Vehicles (IoV).
