Summary

In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Lars Reger, CTO of NXP Semiconductors, to explore the critical role that chips play in the electric vehicle revolution. With the average EV containing around 10,000 semiconductors - 10 times more than an combustion car, these tiny silicon components are doing some seriously heavy lifting ā€” from power & energy management, control systems, security, connectivity to autonomous driving and increasing amounts of AI.
 
NXP supplies chips to major automotive players around the globe, giving Lars a front-row seat to the transformation of electric mobility from the incumbents, to the new players and beyond. Together, they delve into what it really means to create a software-defined vehicle, the future of self-driving and the need for energy-efficient AI. Lars also shares what can be learnt from the global chip shortage and how it can be avoided from happening again. Enjoy!  @EverythingElectricShow   @fullychargedshow
