MILPITAS, Calif. — May 25, 2017 — Highlighting the key drivers of industry growth and innovation, SEMICON West 2017, July 11-13 at Moscone Center in San Francisco, Calif., is focusing on today’s smart technologies. Given the explosive growth of electronics in automobiles â”� from infotainment to driver assistance â”� SMART Automotive is in the spotlight. As automobiles become mobile computing platforms, they require more intelligence, speed, and memory to meet ever-increasing requirements. The industry is responding with a new generation of ICs, sensors, telematics, artificial intelligence, embedded software, and machine learning solutions designed to enable advanced automotive systems, including powertrain control, connectivity, infotainment, security and safety mechanisms, and more.
In conjunction with SAE International (Society of Automotive Engineers) and other key players in the segment, SEMICON West 2017 will feature several informative sessions covering the microelectronics innovations that are revolutionizing the driving experience and driving demand for chips. SEMICON West’s new SMART Automotive sessions will provide an insider’s view into this rapidly accelerating market:
