New-Automotive -Autonomous Driving Challenges For The Microelectronic Components

Abstract

Key focus of the European Research in Horizon 2020 is ‘digital transformation’. This means the strategic and disruptive evolution towards a digital society. The connection between IoT (Internet of Things), big data and AI (artificial intelligence) and autonomous systems like robotic, automation, machine learning and self-driving impact the innovation in products, processes and business models. Generally, many subjects and challenges have to be addressed in this frame. This are safety, security, privacy, sensors and actuators, the development of software within the scope of life cycle issues, system integration, connected vehicles, vehicle sensors with external sources (V2X also called CAR2X), standardization, situation understanding, cognition and decision-making. Furthermore, insurances as well as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) will influence the field of autonomous driving.
