A Radical Change in the Business Model | Colin Has Had It With Your Promises | “The Great Influenza” of 1918

EE Times Current · 29 May 2020 · 40m

What this episode covers

Daniel Cooley, Chief Strategy Officer of Silicon Labs, explains that the electronics industry is undergoing a radical change as companies expand beyond their traditional domains, leading to a fusion of the technology stack from hardware to cloud. He highlights the growing importance of security in IoT devices, driven by legislation and the need to protect transactions on consumer-grade hardware. Colin Barnden, an automotive analyst, criticizes the automotive industry's overreliance on simulations for autonomous vehicles, arguing that the technology is not yet ready for mass deployment and that focus should remain on proven driver assistance systems. Author David Benjamin discusses the 1918 influenza pandemic, emphasizing the historical lessons of testing, tracing, and isolating, and the dangers of political obfuscation during health crises.
