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.

    A new report from IDTechEx Research notes that autonomous vehicles need no pilot, not even one in reserve. Many truly autonomous vehicles are unmanned mobile robots prowling everywhere from the ocean depths to nuclear power stations, the upper atmosphere and outer space. They create billion dollar businesses such as aircraft and airships aloft for five to ten years on sunshine alone carrying out surveillance or beaming the internet to the 4.5 billion people who lack it.

Smart parking comes to Manchester, reads the headline to a story posted on the UK city’s website towards the end of March this year. Sensors will be fixed to parking spaces to give drivers and authorities information on parking availability via mobile phone apps and other software, the story goes on to explain.
