PRESENTATION
Powering the Future: How Semiconductor Innovation is Driving the Software-defined Vehicle Era
As vehicles continue to evolve into software-defined platforms, their performance, safety, and user experience all hinge on power capabilities. The shift toward increasingly complex electronic architectures demands semiconductor technology that delivers efficient, reliable, and robust power management. This presentation will explore why long-term success in the software-defined vehicle era starts with sustained, forward-looking investment in power-focused semiconductor innovation. Tea will examine the critical role of power technologies in supporting evolving vehicle architectures and how advances in semiconductor power management can help meet the demands of increasingly electrified, connected, and software-driven systems, enabling the next generation of vehicle intelligence.
