Summary: This new era of automotive electronics — such as autonomous driving, in-car smartphone-like infotainment, privacy and security, high-speed and high-bandwidth computing, and all-electric cars — requires an entirely differnt vision than is pursued today. There are unprecedented challenges and opportunities to adress these needs with a systematic approach to system scaling, innovative device and package architectures, and heterogeneous integration for the new era, with particular focus on electrical, mechanical, and thermal designs, and new digital, RF, millimeter wave, LiDAR, camera, high-power and high-temperature electronics technologies.
The challenges in this new era are many, and include not only new technologies, but also an educated workforce, supply chain manufacturing, roadmaps, and standards. This workshop will describe the needs and challenges, as well as review the state-of-the-art in R&D and in manufacturing.
