Automotive is the leading industry in Europe. More than 30% of the car BOM is electronics – with strong growth rates due to electric drives
and the goal of full autonomous driving. There are three main tasks, car electronics developers are faced today:
- Autonomous driving
- Electric cars
- Car communication
These main applications fields and tasks can be sub-divided into eight separate sub-development categories:
- Cameras (Image Sensors, Optics, Sensor Modules, IR/UV Lighting), Image Sensor Fusion with Radar
- ADAS Hardware/Firmware/Software (Image and Object Recognition, Dynamic Overlay, Distance Measurement, 3D, Moving Object Detection)
- Electric Drives and Steering/Breaking, Motor Control, Battery Management, Charging
- Software Security (Realtime OS Supervisior)
- Car-to-X communication
- Navigation (GPS, Electronic Maps)
- Front-, Rear-and Interior Lighting with LEDs / IR + UV LEDs / LED drivers
- Driver Control (LCD screens, Gesture Control, Driver Communication, Driver Monitoring)
