3D printed end-use parts are going onto vehicles with increasing frequency. Recent real-world examples showcase additive manufacturing benefits in design, weight savings and more.
Through machine learning and neural networks, AI technologies power self-driving car systems that can drive autonomously. A self-driving car is a vehicle that uses a combination of sensors, cameras, radar and artificial intelligence (AI) to travel between destinations without a human operator.

But possibly the most surprising section was once the evolution and velocity at which auto retailers, dealerships and producers pivoted to digital options in order to serve their customers.
MCUs (microcontroller units) have a wide range of terminal applications, including home appliance controls, automotive electronics, education and entertainment, medical equipment, etc. Among them, automotive electronics and the Internet of Things are the main driving forces of the MCU industry.
When car consumers buy vehicles, in addition to considering the performance of the car, such as power, handling, and safety, they also consider the comfort of the vehicle. Noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) has become an increasingly important factor for consumers in buying a car. A car with a high NVH rating performance will provide a more comfortable ride. In the design and development of new vehicles, car manufacturers need to evaluate and develop new models with higher performance.
The Asian region has always been the core area for global motorcycle and scooter sales, with India, China, and Indonesia being the top three markets. The Asian market has potential. The global demand for motorcycles and scooters is increasing.
