CEO Nvidia denkt er anders over dan Jan Maarten
“The next era, let’s say
five to 10 years from now, autonomous starts to get bigger and then navigation as a function must completely change. That said, I don’t think it will evolve into a default standard, however, even for the short to mid-term I feel there is more consolidation necessary for the industry overall to be competitive.
“The reason I say this is because at the moment we have something like 30 suppliers that provide navigation functions to the automotive industry for embedded systems. This includes us, naturally, other suppliers and some Tier 1s that are doing their own stuff. Over time, I do not think this situation is sustainable in a context where you see
navigation becomes more standardised in the sense that every system needs it where the function to bring people from A-to-B is not new.
“So you could expect that the customers, the carmakers, are in need of consolidation where the
market brings it back to a few specialists who can provide state-of-the-art navigation off the shelf that they can plug-and-play in their products – that’s the first thing.”
