Is Consumer Electronics Redesigning Our Cars?: Challenges of Integrated Technologies for Sensing, Computing, and Storage

This article critically analyzes the trends and limits of integrated technologies for sensing, computing, and data storage when devices and systems originally developed for consumer electronics (CE) are used for self-driving cars. Some hints, supported by theoretical analysis and experimental work, are provided to overcome the issues of inertial sensors, micromirrors for lidar scanners, car data/program memory, and computing platforms.
