The evolution of the automobile over the past decade has been faster than ever before, and the 2020s promise even more rapid progress. The changes we will all experience include the nature of car ownership, how the car ispowered, increased safety, and driver automation. Each of these changes is only possible with advances inelectronics hardware and systems, electronics assembly, and semiconductor packaging. In What’s Driving: Automotive Electronics Assembly and Packaging, Mackie will discuss the impact of these changes on electronics assembly and packaging, and the impact ofmission profiles on component and systems level reliability.
