Car and chipmakers form group to develop open in-car connectivity

Automotive car makers, suppliers, semiconductor manufacturers and ecosystem partners announced the formation of the OpenGMSL Association, an initiative to change the future of in-vehicle connectivity. Consumer demands for automotive systems such as Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), infotainment, and autonomous driving are rapidly increasing. The new group was championed by Analog Devices. ADAS relies on high-quality video data for real-time decisions that enhance safety, while infotainment systems need high-speed connectivity for immersive experiences. The aim is to transform SerDes transmission of video and/or high-speed data as an open, worldwide standard across the automotive ecosystem. The demands of modern automotive systems — from ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) to infotainment and autonomous driving — are growing rapidly. ADAS vision systems heavily rely on high-quality video data to make critical, real-time decisions that improve driver safety and redu ... Read full article.
