RISC-V technology is beginning its inroads into automotive electrical/electronic (EE) architecture design. Four major trends are driving this evolution: the surge in electric vehicles (EVs), advances in self-driving technology, the emergence of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) connectivity.
The extensible RISC-V instruction set architecture (ISA) offers major advantages for automotive silicon vendors, Tier-1 suppliers, and OEMs. High-performance efficiency, a modular ISA, and emphasis on security make RISC-V an attractive choice for automotive applications. Moreover, RISC-V’s open ecosystem fosters innovation and collaboration, driving its widespread adoption across the automotive industry.
