A positive user experience created by such systems as infotainment, comfort features, voice recognition, in-cabin wireless charging, state-of-the-art exterior and interior lighting and keyless entry will inform future generations’ decisions about the car they choose, regardless of whether they’re buying or sharing. Consequently, future mobility will turn drivers into passengers who want to be entertained and enjoy all the conveniences of the connected life when travelling. Microelectronics from Infineon provide the underlying technology for data-driven services based on interoperable, robust connectivity, secure authentication and easy-to-use, contactless or remote payment options. Keeping cars up to date By 2022, analysts expect automotive companies to make 100 million updates a year to customers’ vehicles using software-over-the-air (SOTA) technology. These updates will span every aspect of the vehicle, from infotainment and telematics services to acceleration rates and parking controls. However, a vehicle’s accessibility from the outside also significantly increases the risk of hacker attacks. Car manufacturers need to ensure that information is processed securely and protected against external access and manipulation. Given a car’s average lifespan, manufacturers today also have to be prepared for the potential attacks of tomorrow. Infineon’s semiconductor solutions enable secure vehicle feature updates for enjoyable and safe travelling. Explore Infineon’s solutions that make services for safe and convenient mobility secure Saving lives with eSIM technology To make future mobility safe, technologies that provide safety for drivers and passengers will not only focus on threats such as cyberattacks. The European Union has made the automatic emergency call feature (eCall) mandatory for all new cars and light commercial vehicle models. eCall systems are designed to keep the time between an accident and the arrival of emergency services as short as possible, thereby reducing the number of fatalities on the road. As one of the world’s leading suppliers of the eSIM chips that enable eCall technology, Infineon once again is a vital partner for car manufacturers when it comes to making future mobility safe and secure.

Vehicles have evolved from hardware-driven machines to software-driven electronic devices. System complexity has become a major challenge for automotive electronics designers and engineers. Infineon provides all the key technologies for significantly enhancing the in-vehicle customer experience. The range covers all microelectronic technologies and provides reliable and highly efficient solutions for automotive infotainment applications such as intuitive Human Machine Interface (HMI) sensing, seamless wireless connection, reliable high-performance computing and much more. Get more information about Infineon's in-vehicle infotainment portfolio For a unique travel experience with highest comfort Some things never change. Drivers and passengers don’t want to miss out on the amenities that cars used to offer before they turned electric. Particularly as cars become increasingly autonomous, people will focus on in-vehicle comfort and convenience features. Infineon’s growing family of system-on-chip devices is ideally suited to comfort features such as interior light modules with touch-sensitive control, window lift, sunroof and massage seats as well as sleep monitoring. These are only some examples of the amenities that Embedded Power ICs from Infineon enable. Explore more in-cabin comfort features powered by Infineon Powered by in-cabin wireless charging You don’t want your smartphone battery to go flat while you’re on the road. In-cabin wireless charging is yet another feature that drivers and passengers won’t want to do without in the car they buy, rent or share through a car sharing provider. But because wireless charging requires more power than cable charging, new technologies are necessary. This is exactly where Infineon comes in. Our power semiconductors and microcontrollers enable wireless charging in no time, even on the road and allow passengers the convenience of watching their favourite movies, reading emails or communicating with friends without having to worry about their battery status.
