The panel also discussed the inefficiency of automakers when it comes to in-car technology. Currently, most automakers use a processor for every major function in a car, which means that things like heated seats, climate control, video, etc. are all powered by separate processors. MediaTek believes that future cars may have a single, more powerful, centralized chiplet responsible for all common tasks to reduce the total number of processors in a car.
Software-driven EVs are already proliferating in China, where nearly 60% of this year’s global EV sales took place. It’ll be exciting to see what options and features we’ll have in the future, but we’re definitely going to hate the inevitable software bloat and in-app purchases that smartphone users know all too well. Other hurdles, like repairability, might get worse, especially since EVs are already notoriously expensive to repair if damaged.
