## Summary

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.
