Industry analysts predict 100 percent of new cars to be
Internet-enabled by 2025, an industry revolution that will redefine
the driving experience. As a result of the significant increase in
volume and complexity of in-car electronics, demand for
connectivity solutions that offer low-cost, high speed transmission
and bandwidth is on the rise. Collision warnings, comfort controls,
infotainment and advanced driver assistance are just some of
today's sophisticated features enabled by Broadcom®
technology.
SAE Convergence attendees can experience live demonstrations of
the following Broadcom automotive connectivity products:
- Broadcom's automotive-qualified BroadR-Reach Automotive
Ethernet technology, already on the road in the 2014 BMW X5, allows
multiple in-vehicle systems (such as infotainment, on-board
diagnostics and automated driver assistance) to simultaneously
access information over unshielded single twisted pair cabling. By
eliminating cumbersome, shielded cabling, automotive manufacturers
can significantly reduce connectivity costs up to 80 percent and
cabling weight up to 30 percent.
- Broadcom's 5G WiFi + Bluetooth Smart combo chips allow drivers
and passengers to easily sync and stream content from mobile
devices to the car's infotainment system and rear-seat displays.
Broadcom's automotive combo chips offer great promise for new
innovations in vehicle to person, vehicle to vehicle and vehicle to
infrastructure communications (V2X). Designed to improve both
driver and traffic safety, V2X communications will allow drivers to
anticipate upcoming road hazards, traffic incidents and monitor
speed limits.
- Broadcom's Android Automotive Bluetooth® software stack
delivers seamless in-car connectivity with Android-powered
devices. As an extension to the company's Bluetooth software
stack (Bluedroid) contribution to the Android Open Source Project
(AOSP), Broadcom's Android Automotive Bluetooth software ensures
seamless, end-to-end interoperability between in-car applications
and mobile Android devices.
