Driven by data, a growing number of automotive solutions are using
advanced human-machine interfaces (HMI), cognitive computing and
computer vision, which require high-resolution graphics, image
processing, video sensing and other advanced features. These
applications require durable and reliable storage solutions that can
work in harsh automotive environments with elevated temperatures,
humidity and vibration for prolonged periods of time.
“As a valued partner, Western Digital delivers a wide breadth of storage
solutions for customers developing high-end, highly demanding,
data-intensive automotive applications,” said Naoki Yoshida, vice
president, Automotive Technical Customer Engagement Division, Automotive
Solution Business Unit, Renesas. “The combination of the R-Car family of
