半导体使汽车设计大规模变革

The Semiconductor Revolutionized Automobile Design

近20年来,消费者从对汽车的性能、发动机尺寸以及汽车的品牌的兴趣,己转为对信息娱乐和“联接”特性、排放水平、安全性和质量等方面的关注。尤其安全性一直是购买汽车的消费者的考虑因素。但二十年前,安全特性主要是“被动的”,例如安全气囊和压溃区;而现在,安全性“更主动”,我们可以通过采用技术以主动预防事故。半导体将成为所有汽车中最重要的器件。

Over the past twenty years,the desires and decisionmaking criteria of the vehicle-buying public have changed from caring about vehicle performance,engine size,brand of vehicle tofocusing on features like infotainment and"connected"features,emission levels,safety and quality.Safety however has always been on the list of vehicle-buying consumers.Twenty years ago,safety features were mainly passive such as airbags and crumple zones while,now,safety is much more proactive using technology to actively prevent accidents.Semiconductors will be the most important automotive component of all.
