The Age of Automotive Electronics

The Age of Automotive Electronics
by Daniel Payne on 03-02-2016 at 12:00 pm

One of Intel’s most advanced fabrication sites is called Ronler Acres, located in Hillsboro, Oregon and I jumped at the opportunity to visit this site on April 26th when members from the SEMI Pacific Northwest Chapter are meeting to discuss a timely topic, “The Age of Automotive Electronics”. The previous SEMI event that I attended was back in October 2015 when the topic was, “The Future of Moore’s Law“. Because of the number of speakers the April event will start out with a breakfast at 7:30AM and continue until 11:30AM.

Our society in America is certainly auto-centric and the trends toward increasing sophistication and automation in our driving experience continues at a fast rate. Just stop and think about all of the changes taking place in the automotive world today:

  • Electric Vehicles, from Chevy Volt up to the Tesla
  • Autonomous Cars, from companies like: Google, VW, BMW, etc.
  • ADAS (Advanced Driver Assist)
  • Infotainment
  • Connected cars
  • Embedded software to control all of the electronics
  • Smart Streets
  • Smart Lights

Attend this event and you’ll get to hear from industry speakers that work at:

  • Intel – the largest employer in Oregon and leading semiconductor company
  • Mentor Graphics – the largest EDA company in Oregon
  • Gartner – a research and advisory firm
  • Drive Oregon – innovation in electric mobility

The first three companies I have heard about before, and even worked at the first two. Although I live in Oregon I hadn’t really heard about Drive Oregon until learning about this SEMI event, so I visited their web site and found this informative 2:45 minute overview video:

Plan to bring along some business cards to hand out while you network with other technology professionals and meet local industry executives.
