Innovative automotive systems require complex semiconductor devices currently only available in consumer grade quality. The project "Highly automated mobility and functionality through the qualification of consumer electronics for electronic systems in the automotive and automation industry" in short TRACE will develop and demonstrate methods, processes, tools to facilitate usage of CE components to be deployable more rapidly in the life-critical automotive domain. This requires cooperation along the automotive and industrial value chain. The project results will enable and accelerate AE technology, component and system developments for smart mobility and smart infrastructure as key to smart city solutions of the future and therefore ensure European automotive leadership.
