Automotive companies are challenged with innovating more complex, diverse, integral and high-tech autonomous products and solutions. The order of magnitude is rising as we collectively search for a more efficient and programmable car. A combination of technological key areas are required to come together when solving the autonomous vehicle challenge.
AI, ML, embedded hardware and software solutions all play a key role in automotive technology, guidance systems, control systems, sensors, real time data analytics and high speed communication over internal networks. Communication infrastructure is key and thus the telecommunications industry and the 5G infrastructure within that market all culminate in supporting the automotive industry.
Chipright has delivered design services within the automotive technological domain by utilizing a proven pool of highly skilled senior level engineering resources. We have the capacity to supply the market with the right skill at the right price in the right location at the right time.
New clients often ask us about projects we have worked on and implemented over time in the automotive market space. They also ask us about the resource pool we use on these projects. We respect the curiosity but also respect our clients NDA’s. Thus, whilst we are restricted from conveying specific information about the R&D technological projects we continually work on, we can provide a brief snapshot of some of the work without disclosing our customers detailed project information here.
