Automobiles and DAC

On SemiWiki we have some 247 blogs and forum discussions on the topic of “automotive“, so I’m pleased to learn that at DAC in San Francisco there is a new track just for automotive systems and software. Just consider all of that electronic content in your typical auto:

• Lighting
• Radio
• Powertrain controls
• Driver assistance
• Safety features
• Infotainment
