Automotive Security Shifts To The System Level
- As the amount of semiconductor and software content continues to increase, so does the number of over-the-air updates and connections to edge-based servers and services, adding a variety of new vectors for attacks.
- Properly securing vehicles requires engineers to first identify all the possible connection points.
- In the strictest sense, there’s only one direct attack vector on a car, according to David Glasco, vice president for compute solutions group at Cadence — the WiFi through which all software updates are uploaded.
- The migration toward holistic security now includes roots of trust installed in ICs located throughout the car’s systems.
- “Security is just like safety,” he said. “Security is the ultimate. It is the top priority.
- The challenge for automakers is understanding how these systems of systems will behave both individually and together, and that may require security training as a pre-requisite for any facet of automotive design.
- SDVs are booming, but designing hardware that can run software updates a decade in the future is a huge challenge.
- The core of all security comes down to proper, strong cryptography.
- “Having multiple environments is very similar to having different privilege levels within the CPU structure, which allows you to assign a very low privilege, for example, to a third-party app,” he said.
- The international standard has been proven effective in automotive functional safety and has begun to spread to other markets.

Automotive Outlook 2025: Ecosystem Pivots Around SDV
- The automotive industry is shifting towards the software-defined vehicle architectures (SDV) that will change how automakers design, source, and use automotive chips.
- SDV provides various benefits to automakers because it can reduce manufacturing costs, upgrade the operational platform quickly, support scalability and flexibility, and deliver advanced user experience.
- SDV requires software-first development and a shift from the mechanical and hardware-centric point of view to software-centralized infrastructure that can build and integrate the hardware accordingly.
- This shift involves creating a zonal architecture with powerful central CPUs to consolidate electronic control units (ECUs) into fewer, more powerful platforms that centralize processing resources in vehicles.
- The zonal architecture enables the integration of advanced technologies such as AI and autonomous driving systems, and it simplifies the vehicle design process while reducing complexity, weight, and cost.
- Chip vendors are building multi-die licensable devices featuring multiple chips in a single package, allowing the creation of advanced products using advanced packages at 3nm and a range of chiplets from different vendors.
- SDV enhances AI use in the vehicle, delivering an advanced user experience that learns from driver behaviors and enhances automated driving systems with end-to-end self-supervised learning and advanced AI in the vehicle.
- Software-defined development speeds up the introduction of new technologies that OEMs and Tier Ones are embracing. However, OEMs and Tier Ones must adapt to software-first development with a focus on security since the distribution of software centrally intensifies security issues.
- SDV makes it possible to develop software independently within the cloud on servers and substantially reduces the development time and cost with a level of flexibility and scalability that traditional hardware development cannot match.
- Virtual platforms and virtual prototypes are accelerating the software and silicon development cycles, simultaneously designing the hardware and software, testing them for security, scalability, flocking everything together into a scalable E/E architecture for the whole car.

Med Tech Morphs Into Consumer Wearables
- Doctors have been using advanced technology for years, but the growing trend is for consumers to use devices at home and have direct access to their data.
- Watches and rings that were once primarily used for counting steps or registering sleep patterns can now read blood pressure, heart rate, blood oxygen, body temperature, and other early signs of illness.
- DSPs coupled with MEMS sensors are commonly used in wearable devices, along with other types of sensors, and/or electrodes, which are then connected to a data analytics platform via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
- Ansys also is exploring wearable optical sensors and helping designers address such challenges as compact system integration, precise optical path management, and real-world lighting conditions to ensure the wearables deliver reliable, actionable insights.
- The smart watch market growth rate was expected to decline as the technology matured, while the hearables market was predicted to grow. Demand for smart rings and glasses is also expected to increase.
- Medical devices face much more stringent testing than consumer devices, but regulators are starting to approve more technology.
- Home-use medical devices can come in many forms, depending on what data is being captured.
- Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other tools have been used in the medical space for some time and applications are surfacing every day for better ways of filtering data to provide better insight than a human is capable of, such as screening for breast cancer.
- Devices and patches can gather data, but they also can create haptic sensations beyond vibration.
- For example, Infineon partnered with Theranica on a migraine patch.

Universities Augment Curricula To Boost Engineering Graduates Employability
- Universities are offering semiconductor courses in various degree programs such as engineering, math, physics, and business degrees.
- Purdue University President, Mung Chiang established Purdue’s Semiconductor Degrees Program to meet the industry demand for a semiconductor workforce.
- RIT offers a five-year BS degree program that includes a year of co-ops at one or more companies in microelectronics along with courses in imaging processes and materials.
- Georgia Tech’s ECE has created courses through its Curriculum Partnership Initiative with companies such as Apple for VLSI Design through Theory to Tapeout and TI to support analog and mixed-signal design curriculum.
- Community colleges are taking care of technician-level training while universities are offering pathways from associate degree programs to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree.
- Cornell and Micron are developing orbital welding techniques classes for both technicians and engineers.
- To help students get hands-on experience, some universities provide summer training, awareness, and readiness for semiconductors (STARS) internships.
- The education sector is also developing certificates courses, and colleges aimed at increasing diversity.
- Universities are aiming to introduce students to the semiconductor field early in their studies.
- Academic institutions are keeping pace with the requirements of the industry to help them acquire specialized knowledge in microelectronics to match the demand in the industry.
