The connected car easily conjures up topics like 5G, V2X, and the cloud. It’s certainly enchanting – all the amazing services the cloud and high-speed wireless connectivity will bring to our cars in the coming years. But the down-to-earth reality is the mission-critical handling and processing of data will be done inside the car itself. […]

Our talk on Solving Data Storage Challenges in the Automotive Projects of Tomorrow has gathered several questions that I’d like to address. How should I estimate the lifetime for a memory component? This starts with a conversation with the memory vendor(s). They provide information in datasheets, and connecting their numbers to block sizes and then […]

Flash lifetime can’t be ignored. Late last year, Tesla had problems with the flash storage memory in its connected cars. The company was in the news again this month, when the Office of Defects Investigations released their report summarizing the MCU failures that affect approximately 159 thousand vehicles. This is interesting as much for the […]

Today we live in an age of data-driven everything – where every millisecond of data capture is important. By the end of 2020, Statista estimates global data generation will reach 59 Zettabytes (ZB). In a layperson’s context, to get that much data onto 32 GB SD cards, you would have to fill over 2 TRILLION […]
With the current world becoming increasingly connected, automotive flash storage has evolved in tandem with it. In the past, automotive control units were practically read-only. Nowadays, however, we’ve seen increased complexity and sophistication in automotive systems due to advancements in hardware and software (like consolidated electronic control units, and new apps). This evolution has brought […]

Oops is an understatement here. Tesla’s got a problem with dead eMMC flash memory cards in Model S and Model X cars equipped with their MCUv1 (Media Control Unit). And according to InsideEVs, this dead part could cost more than $1,800 to repair! As reported in InsideEVs, the problem stems from excessive writing to a […]

Today’s automotive data storage architecture presents several challenges for OEMs in terms of cost, security, and serviceability. The various systems and ECUs in the car – infotainment, navigation, cluster, rear-seat entertainment, ADAS, EDR, and others – all have their own storage hardware. All these individual storages which are comprised of NVMe™, SSD, eMMC, or UFS […]
