Why semiconductor firms are key to future vehicle operations
When a vulnerability threatens millions of vehicles worldwide, who makes sure the fix hits every car rapidly? When automakers say cars will update themselves without cables over the air, who enables this to happen? It’s more than simply just code and infrastructure. It’s the semiconductor companies that lay down the silicon bed who make secure modern automotive connectivity happen. The eSync Alliance is increasingly welcoming semiconductor businesses such as Renesas and ARM as […]
