The increasingly complex electronics systems that range from powertrain controls, including modern hybrid and full electric, to infotainment, navigation systems and now self-driving technology.

A new study by Danish company Autelligence, Embedded Electronics – the evolving future heart of the automobile, offers a clear, detailed analysis of a complex world -- car systems, microcontrollers, architectures, sensors, standards and networks and research projects, as well as trends toward integration, new quality processes, the rise of systems-on-chip and a comprehensive look at who is doing what among the major players.

Autelligence says electronics have become the value centre of the future for suppliers; THE opportunity centre. Demand from OEMs has become enormous, whether for monitoring batteries in electric vehicles or the proliferation of sensors and monitors for autonomous driving applications. And the approach is changing dramatically as systems are being combined, sometimes on the same multicore processor.

“Embedded Electronics – the evolving future heart of the automobile” examines this critical sector, answers technical questions, outlines the strategies of each automaker and suggests opportunities for suppliers.
