The market of electric vehicles and gasoline-electric hybrid vehicles is developing rapidly, and the progress of software-defined vehicles in the future is just around the corner. In the future, the development of automobiles will shift from hardware integration to balanced development of software and hardware. In view of this, the automotive field revenue accounted for more than 50%. NXP Semiconductors is striving to build a related ecosystem, transforming from a chip supplier to a technology supplier. Taiwanese manufacturers have manufacturing and integration capabilities, and supply chain manufacturers have Opportunity to join the ecosystem.
Henri Ardevol, Executive Vice President of NXP Semiconductors and General Manager of the Automotive Processing Division, said that current automakers face many serious challenges, including laying the foundation for subsequent automotive innovations and integrating connected safety and electrification functions into future software-defined vehicles . In this regard, OEM manufacturers must integrate at least hundreds of processors in the vehicle and tap the valuable data generated by the scattered electronic control units to cope with the rapid growth of vehicle software. In order to achieve this goal, automakers need to turn to a platform-based architecture evolution to ensure consistency between brands and different models, and at the same time make full use of software reuse to save high software development costs. This emerging OEM platform model requires automakers to achieve rapid integration of new functions and secure over-the-air remote updates through scalable processor solutions, and finally make significant progress in architecture.
Henri Ardevol emphasized that in order to complete the relevant work, it is necessary to cooperate with the car manufacturer from the beginning, and to develop the required products comprehensively regardless of hardware and software, and finally to promote system-level solutions. For example, in the future, software-defined cars will be continuously updated with software, so that the performance of cars will continue to improve. In the life cycle of the relevant car, it can rely on different product upgrade spaces, and finally reach the limit of its upgrade. This situation makes the car manufacturer's demand for software will gradually keep pace with the hardware, and through optimization to achieve the goal of overall optimization. Read More…
