We are pleased to publish, just after 10 days, our detailed report about Munich event. We tried to cover the different challenges our automotive lighting supply chain is facing :
- Transformation due to EV & SDV shift, pushed by new comer from California and China, coming from Tech industry (Tesla, Rivian, Xiaomi, Huawei) and meanwhile by the tech new possibility including high power compute (Qualcomm, Nvidia) and AI. What was a dream is becoming reality, much faster than our industry was expecting, and ready to accept. No training, no learning curve, you are in the bath like a baby who need to learn swimming if he wants to survive.
- Transformation due to new technologies (MEMS, display, compute optics, laser) and new regulations that offers new possibilities (projection and intelligent lighting) and new constraints (Cybersecutity management and software update management, needed for V2X communication, especially needed for ADAS L2++ and L3 features). Because cars is now open an external Cloud (AWS etc …), legal framework is needed and totally changed the way to develop and certify cars. CS and SUMS round table was very informative about this concern and will be covered in a dedicated reports next month.
- Transformation due to C02 footprint reduction need. this is now coming in reality. From ideas we see concrete things. Supply chain is starting to be organized with a lot of initiatives well cover during the long sustainability session. This could totally change our way of development. As said by Valeo, 80% of the C02 footprint is defined during the design phase. 3 years of design and 7 years of production for a classical vehicle. That is to say that was we design now is valid for 10 years. If we want to change something in 2035, it is now in 2025 that we have to think about.
