Infineon showcases latest software development for autonomous vehicles at CES
Summary
Infineon Technologies, the Germany-based leading IDM for auto chips, is showcasing two new collaborations at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Jan 5 that will make integration of autonomous-driving software into the microcontrollers (MCUs) easier and faster. Infineon said its Traveo MCUs now support Green Hills embedded software and Altias cloud-based solution, CloudWare. At the CES this year, Infineon is demonstrating the Lucid Air luxury EV that adopts multiple components supplied by the IDM, from the Aurix microelectronics, power management chips, to power devices that are embedded for various embedded applications from battery management, inverters, seat control, and more. He added that Infineon also sees urban driving as a great playing field to test the technology and to demonstrate that it can carry over the trust factor. "Being dependable basically means having a closer connectivity between the components, subsystems, and systems," Ulrich said, "around all that, we need a safety control, and Infineon has such experience in multiple facets."
