Features are now defined by software, which can be updated transparently over the air, offering consumers access to upgrades and new content in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry leaders understand these new architectures must scale quickly to meet market needs. As a result, automotive semiconductor content is projected to double in size from $54 billion in 2022 to $107 billion in 2028.<sup><a href=\"#1\">1<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay attention to automotive \u2014 the growth in next-generation mobility is here and will only accelerate as we drive toward the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-building-ecosystems-to-support-next-generation-mobility\" style=\"font-weight:600\">Building ecosystems to support next-generation mobility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To develop complete systems, and unique experiences, OEMs must not only continue to rely on their full-service Tier 1 suppliers, but they must also expand their collaborations to include semiconductor companies and other ecosystem partners. This focus on partnership will enable OEMs to move and innovate faster, developing and launching new features and enhancements with greater reliability and resiliency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The business model of the future is a dynamic ecosystem of partners, whose roles may change depending on the product or customer and the cross-industry expertise needed to solve our most complex challenges. Next-generation mobility takes a next-generation ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One example of how partnership can accelerate innovation is what we did at Flex with three system-on-a-chip (SoC) suppliers. Together, we delivered an ADAS domain controller to market in under 12 months. By working in advance with our SoC partners on reference platforms, our OEM partner was able to develop their software in parallel, speeding test and validation cycles. This type of collaboration is happening throughout the industry and resulting in positive outcomes for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>EVs and software-defined vehicle architectures are complex and require the best minds in the industry. Being open to collaboration and new business models \u2014 whether that means leveraging a partner with targeted design capabilities or tapping into a regionalized supply chain to mitigate risk \u2014 will distinguish tomorrow\u2019s leaders in the automotive industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The era of next-generation mobility is upon us. Now is the time to work together to harness its full potential.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"spacer block\" style=\"height: 48px;\">\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\" id=\"1\"><sup><a
