Cars are no longer just a means of transportation, but a comprehensive mobile space

With the rapid development of intelligent connected vehicles and new energy vehicles, cars are no longer just a means of transportation, but have become a comprehensive mobile space that integrates intelligence, networking, and electric. In this context, the complexity and functionality of in-vehicle electronic systems have increased significantly, and the demand for storage solutions has become increasingly urgent. In order to relieve the "worries" faced by automakers in the process of high-quality development, it is particularly important to create efficient, reliable, and innovative in-vehicle electronic system storage solutions.

1. "Concerns" about high-quality development of automobile companies

1. Surge in storage demand

With the continuous increase of in-vehicle electronic systems, such as smart cockpits, automated driving assistance systems (ADAS), and car networking, the demand for storage capacity in automobiles is growing exponentially. Traditional storage solutions can no longer meet the growing demand for data processing. For automakers, how to manage this data efficiently and securely has become a major challenge.

2. Increased performance and reliability requirements

In-vehicle electronic systems have extremely high requirements for the performance and reliability of storage solutions. For example, the ADAS system needs to process sensor data in real time and accurately to ensure driving safety; the smart cockpit needs to respond quickly to user commands and provide a smooth human-computer interaction experience. At the same time, the complexity of the vehicle's operating environment also places higher requirements on the high temperature resistance and shock resistance of storage devices.

3. Cost control and supply chain security

As the global trade environment becomes increasingly uncertain, automakers are facing the dual pressures of cost control and supply chain security. How to reduce procurement costs and build a stable supply chain system while ensuring product quality has become an urgent problem for automakers.

2. Creation of innovative storage solutions

1. Application of high-performance non-volatile memory (FRAM)

In order to meet the high requirements of vehicle electronic systems for storage performance and reliability, high-performance non-volatile memory (FRAM) has become an important choice. Compared with traditional Flash and EEPROM, FRAM has significant advantages in read and write endurance, write speed and power consumption. Especially in key systems such as battery management systems (BMS) and vehicle control units (VCU), FRAM's high durability, high-speed read and write capabilities and non-volatility make it an ideal choice. For example, a number of FRAM products launched by Fujitsu Semiconductor have been successfully used in the supply chains of many Tier-1 and Tier-2 vehicle manufacturers, significantly improving the overall performance and reliability of vehicle systems.

2. Design and certification of automotive-grade storage products

In order to meet the special requirements of in-vehicle electronic systems for storage products, the design and certification of automotive-grade storage products are particularly important. Automotive-grade storage products must follow strict industry standards, such as IATF16949 and ISO26262, to ensure product quality and reliability. At the same time, they must also pass rigorous testing and verification to ensure that they can still work stably in harsh environments such as high temperature and vibration. For example, Western Digital's automotive-grade iNAND AT EU552 UFS 3.1 embedded flash drive uses advanced memory management firmware functions and automotive-specific feature sets to ensure its stability and reliability in a vehicle environment.

3. Intelligent storage solutions

With the development of intelligent connected vehicles, the requirements for intelligent storage solutions in vehicle electronic systems are becoming increasingly higher. Intelligent storage solutions can not only meet basic data storage needs, but also detect potential problems in advance and optimize system performance through intelligent analysis and prediction technologies. For example, through the intelligent health management function, the storage system can monitor and evaluate its own status in real time, warn in advance and avoid the risk of data loss or system crash. In addition, intelligent storage solutions can also be deeply integrated with the vehicle network system to achieve rapid data transmission and sharing, and improve the intelligence level of the entire vehicle system.

4. Diversified supply chain construction

In order to ensure the security and stability of the supply chain, automakers need to build a diversified supply chain system. This includes establishing long-term cooperative relationships with multiple high-quality suppliers, dispersing procurement risks, and strengthening localized production. By building a diversified supply chain, automakers can reduce their dependence on a single supplier and improve the resilience and security of the supply chain. At the same time, it also helps to reduce procurement costs, improve product quality and market competitiveness.

3. Future Prospects

With the continuous development of intelligent connected vehicles and new energy vehicles, the demand for storage solutions in vehicle electronic systems will continue to grow. In the future, vehicle storage solutions will pay more attention to innovations in high performance, high reliability, intelligence and customization. At the same time, with the popularization of Internet of Vehicles technology and the expansion of application scenarios, vehicle storage solutions will also be deeply integrated with cutting-edge technologies such as cloud storage and big data analysis to provide car companies with more comprehensive and efficient data management solutions.

In order to relieve the "worries" of auto companies in the process of high-quality development, the government, industry organizations and enterprises should work together to strengthen technological innovation, standard setting, industrial chain coordination, etc. By creating efficient, reliable and innovative on-board electronic system storage solutions, the automotive industry will be driven towards a more intelligent, networked and electrified direction.
