Automotive

With the rise of electrification, intelligence, and connectivity, automobiles have become a “big user” of chips. A traditional car usually requires about 500-600 chips, while the number of chips used in a new energy vehicle has reached 1,000-1,200. Some models with better performance even use more than 2,000 chips. Automotive chips are generally more expensive than ordinary chips, not because of stronger performance, but because automotive chips need to maintain stable operation in more stringent working environments and have higher requirements for reliability and safety. In general, because cars carry life as a means of transportation, automotive chips have very strict requirements for reliability, safety and long-term effectiveness, and stability is paramount.

Secondly, in automobile safety systems, chips also play an important role. For example, in the body stability control (ESP) system, the chip can perform dynamic stability control on the vehicle based on the data provided by the ESP sensor to prevent the vehicle from rolling over and losing control. In autonomous driving systems, chips are an important guarantee for safety. They can monitor the environment and traffic conditions around the vehicle, perform accident prediction and intelligent obstacle avoidance, and improve the reliability and safety of the autonomous driving system.

In addition, chips have many other applications in the automotive field. For example, in car multimedia entertainment systems, chips can provide functions such as high-definition video decoding and sound processing, bringing a better entertainment experience to passengers in the car. In automobile braking systems, chips can provide independent braking control and anti-lock braking (ABS) functions to improve vehicle braking accuracy and safety. In the Internet of Vehicles system, the chip can realize functions such as vehicle remote control and vehicle status monitoring, improving the intelligence level of the vehicle.
