Automakers are at a crossroads. An open platform is inevitable even among traditionally conservative automakers. OEMs demand flexibility in software choices, hardware architecture and supply chains. First to take the plunge was Infineon Technologies (Infineon), the world’s largest automotive MCU supplier, unveiling its plans for a real-time automotive microcontroller family based on RISC-V.

With billions already sunk into its proprietary TriCore MCUs, Infineon’s RISC-V shift reflects a huge change in the company’s strategy.
