The Next Wave: How Semiconductors Are Becoming the Driving Force Behind Autonomous Innovations

In this episode of “The Next Wave,” Young Sohn sits down with Lars Reger, Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer at NXP Semiconductors, to discuss the crucial role of semiconductors and how they continue to drive innovation across all aspects of society. The semiconductor forms the foundation of our technology-driven world. Yet many people take chips for granted, assuming they will always be there to power whatever applications we need them for. However, this perception was shattered during the pandemic, when semiconductors suddenly faced a dramatic shortage. Today, semiconductors are the new oil, and the need to safeguard their supply has never been more clear. In fact, the industry shipped 1.5 times the volume of chips last year compared to 2019. This surge is primarily driven by the increasing demand for applications like AI, electric vehicles, and autonomous driving. NXP, for its part, is developing semiconductors that are powering the safe and increasingly autonomous experiences that will reshape our relationship to transport. These include solutions that sense, think and act—ensuring that every journey is safe, secure and enjoyable.
