What this episode covers

Dipti Vachani, Senior VP and General Manager of Automotive and IoT at Arm, discusses the convergence of automotive and IoT technologies, explaining how modern vehicles are becoming 'data centers on wheels' requiring heterogeneous compute and pervasive security standards like PSA and Corstone. She reflects on her 17-year tenure at Texas Instruments, where she helped create the Sitara brand, and her subsequent roles at Intel and Arm, highlighting the shift from hardware-centric manufacturing to IP and ecosystem scaling. Vachani emphasizes the importance of 'co-opetition' among competitors to define open standards that enable market scale, while also sharing career advice on setting boundaries, finding advocacy, and navigating gender dynamics in engineering.

    Embedded Trends for a Connected World

    Nitin Dahad, Editor-in-Chief of Embedded.com, interviews Lars Riga, CTO of NXP Semiconductors, Fred Rivard, CEO of Micro Edge, and Sumit Chauhan, COO of Cerebrum X, to discuss embedded trends in a connected world. Riga explains the shift to a world that anticipates and automates, emphasizing hardware security and digital twins for smart homes and vehicles. Rivard describes how Micro Edge uses software containerization (Macroid) to decouple software from hardware, enabling faster time-to-market and subscription-based services. Chauhan details Cerebrum X’s approach to data monetization in automotive, focusing on synthetic sensors and crash scenario analysis using high-frequency data from cabin, vehicle health, and road streams.
