How long can you expect a PCB to last? Try digitalization to find out!

People expect that when they step into a vehicle, they will be able to safely get to their next destination with no issues. This will be even more critical for automakers to guarantee as autonomous a…

The automotive digital enterprise: a today problem

(Listen to the podcast above)
What is the automotive digital enterprise, and how does it fit into the world of sexy tech modifiers –autonomous, connected and electric – routinely appended to an…

Self-driving cars with safety and innovation. Can you have both?

Whenever you innovate you take a risk, calculated risk at that, but a risk none the less.  Regulation serves to protect us, to make us safe, especially in changing times.  However, too much…

How to build an electric car: why every function and feature matters

When you think about how to build an electric car, every function and feature in an electric vehicle needs to be electrified and controlled by software. This even includes something as mundane as the…

Don’t get stressed out when you simulate your PCB with digitalization – part 7 of 8

Automakers will need to take a closer look at the electronic component analysis processes of the next generation of electronic circuit boards to ensure the vehicle will be able to accomplish this.

Is it safe? The answer for autonomous vehicles

How will we ever know if autonomous cars are safe? And, do we even know if the cars we drive today are safe?

I suppose they are safe enough, as most of us spend much time on the roads. But…
