The automotive industry is undergoing a massive transformation with the integration of advanced electronics. From electric vehicles (EVs) to autonomous driving systems and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems), automotive electronics are central to improving safety, performance, and sustainability. Innovations in sensor technology, power management, vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications, and infotainment systems are enhancing driver experiences and enabling smarter, more energy-efficient vehicles. As the shift to electric mobility accelerates globally, the automotive sector continues to innovate with automotive electronics to meet rising demands for safety, connectivity, and environmental responsibility.
Microchip’s AEC-Q100 Grade 2-qualified, SAM9X75D5M System-in-Package (SiP) addresses growing demand for Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) in automotive and e-mobility applications. Supporting sophisticated graphics and large display sizes (up to 10 inches with XGA resolution, 1024 × 768), the hybrid MCU SiP combines the MPU and memory into a single package. It features an Arm926EJ-S processor and 512 Mbit DDR2 SDRAM. Display ...
A ministerial review of EV quotas is underway with civil servants talking to car companies about revising the zero-emission vehicle (ZEV) mandate, reports the Sunday Times. Car companies are reported to have been asked by Whitehall for their production plans for battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles between now and 2035. “We recognise manufacturers are facing challenges, but ...
Nissan, Uber and Wayve are to collaborate on a plan to put robotaxis on Tokyo streets this year. The plan is to use Nissan Leaf EVs with Wayve’s ADAS tech. “We have been testing our technology throughout Japan since early 2025,” said Wayve CEO Alex Kendall, “partnering with Uber and Nissan to begin pilot deployment of Robotaxis allows us to ...
Qualcomm is to supply its Snapdragon Ride chips to run Wayve’s AI Driver ADAS software. Wayve raised $1.2 billion at an $8.6 billion valuation last month to roll out a robotaxi service in London. Hooking up with Qualcomm provides a pre-integrated HW/SW ADAS capability which can be fitted to any vehicle with the prospect of an upgrade to Level 5 ...
EV sales, including Battery EVs (BEVs), Plug-In Hybrid EVs (PHEVs), and Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCVs), reached 20.53 million units in 2025, up 26% YoY, says TrendForce. Growth is expected to moderate in 2026. With China’s market expansion slowing, global EV sales are projected to reach 23.4 million units, representing a reduced growth rate of 14% YoY. China accounted for approximately ...
Rohm is using its new HPLF5060 package (4.9mm × 6.0mm) to expand its lineup of low-voltage (40V/60V) MOSFETs for automotive applications. For example, main inverter control circuits, electric pumps, and LED headlights. Parts include the AG040FGS4FRA, the AG142FGS4FRA and AG543EGS4FRA, under the company’s EcoMOS brand. HPLF5060 package Rohm highlights the trend for automotive low-voltage MOSFETs moving towards smaller packages. It ...
The Tensor Robocar, a Level 4 ADAS vehicle being launched this year, has 433 safety-capable, power-efficient Arm-based cores in each vehicle. The San Jose car company is defining its vehicle around Arm’s compute intelligence rather than fitting ADAS technology onto legacy platforms. The Robocar claims to have the world’s most vertically integrated Level 4 autonomy stack, a sensor suite of ...
The choices cover neuromorphic processing that distinguishes human and non-human movement, Wayve raising funds to launch robotaxis in London, and TeenTech being this year’s charity partner for our Women Leaders in Electronics Awards.
Wayve, the UK driverless car startup, has raised $1.5bn at an $8.6bn valuation to fund its robotaxi roll-out, which starts this year in London. Baillie Gifford, Balderton Capital. the British Business Bank, Eclipse Ventures, Microsoft, Nvidia, Ontario Teachers Pension Fund and Uber provided $1.2bn. Uber will kick in another $300m if certain milestones are met. In 2024 Wayve raised $1.05bn ...
TDK is expanding its NTCSP series of NTC thermistor components with two new options. For temperature detection and temperature compensation, they are primarily aimed at automotive power modules. For example, applications such anti‑lock braking systems (ABS), transmissions, and engines. As mentioned, there are two further variations in the series: NTCSP163JF103FT1H and NTCSP164KF104FT1H. They differ on resistance and the B constant ...
