Some more highlights on NXP :

  • NXP is a world market leader in connected car technology as part of our promise: ‘Secure Connections for a Smarter World’
  • NXP technology is applied in over 90% of all cars produced in the world; the majority of the applied chip sets are designed & produced in Europe (NXP’s major Automotive R&D groups are in Nijmegen (The Netherlands), Hamburg (Germany) and Gratkorn (Austria). Next to the in-house production that in Europe is coming from Nijmegen (The Netherlands) and Hamburg (Germany), outsourced production will take place in Dresden (Germany)
  • NXP is committed to bring new connected car and safety features in high volume production cars and does so with automotive grade quality and high focus on security
  • To prepare for this NXP is/was already involved in many field trials over the world in 2010-2014, like simTD, Score@F, SPITS, Brabant-In-Car, Spookfiles, US DOT, Singapore
  • To ensure industry alignment and standardisation, NXP participates in e.g. Car2Car Communications Consortium, High Level ITS Advisory Group to the European Commission and in Global Standardisation on ITS
  • As indication for additional semiconductors (chips) cost per car for radar or car2car communication technology we work towards a 5-20 Euro for each of these functions in high volume.
  • Because this is even cheaper than a pair of license plates, we’re convinced price will not be a blocking issue for mass market deployment.
  • NXP has already first design-ins with Automotive customers secured.
  • Specifically, for security aspects, NXP’s crypto and security center is performing long term research activities serving not only automotive, but also cross-business unit needs in different end user domains.
