Driving the green revolution: Technology advancements enable new efficiencies in electric cars

摘要

Automotive transportation is undergoing a revolution, as advanced electronics enable the electrification of vehicle engines, as well as increasing automation, safety, comfort and convenience. As a result, these changes make the future of driving look very different from our experiences today. Vehicles will be custom-designed for their applications and loaded with communications for occupants (just passengers, no drivers) to work or entertain themselves. The levels of electrification may vary, but one thing is certain: integrated circuits (ICs) and their very technical role in these autos of the future are key.
