The automotive industry continues to evolve the centralized electrical/electronic (EE) architecture, impacting automakers, and Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, as they implement various applications over the next 10 years. The new architecture is structured around a centralized compute module which executes multiple applications such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)/highly automated driving (HAD), infotainment, chassis/body control and powertrain.

The total amount of data will swell to about 200 zettabytes of data next year, much of it stored in massive data centers scattered across the globe that are increasingly vulnerable to attacks of all sorts. The stakes for securing data have been rising steadily as the value of that data increases, making it far more attractive to hackers.

When all the planned fabs become operational, the semiconductor industry is likely to face a worker shortage of 100,000 each in the U.S. and Europe, and more than 200,000 in Asia-Pacific, according to a McKinsey report. Since the dawn of technology, people have worried that robots, automation, and AI will steal their jobs, but these tools also can be put to use to help fill the chip industry talent gap by replacing humans.
