Interview: Ryuji Omura, Executive Vice President, Renesas Electronics

Connectivity, advanced human machine interfaces (HMIs) and the rise of alternative powertrain solutions are driving growth in the vehicle electronics market. The amount of sensors and cameras attached to vehicles is also increasing in correlation to the evolution of autonomous driving technology.

According to analysts at Roland Berger, each of these trends is causing the value of semiconductor suppliers to rise dramatically. These small components are a key ingredient to electronic systems as they control the electrical current, and are therefore one of the most important parts of a vehicle. Data suggests that
