No longer just for taking us from here to there, our cars are becoming extensions of our homes and offices, data and media centers on wheels…and very complex!

With the industry focus on the autonomous & connected car, much attention is being given to the “more” requirements and capabilities of the future car – that is, more technologies and applications, (such as cameras, displays, LiDARs, sensors, etc.), more bandwidth requirements,
