Software Focused Range of Automotive IP

The automotive market is undergoing massive change. Increasingly, vehicles are being defined by the electronic systems within them. Vehicle purchasing decisions are made on user experience as much as driving characteristics. The in-vehicle-infotainment (IVI) systems are becoming a multiscreen, multiuser, tablet device. The driving experience is being made safer through further advance driver-assistance (ADAS) features, such as autonomous driving under certain conditions. The ownership and servicing of modern vehicles is increasingly done via over the air updates and enhancements. All of these features and functions are delivered by software, running on increasingly complex compute devices. Arm has been working for many years to meet the current and future needs of these compute devices.
