NXP Semiconductors has signed a strategic partnership with Foxconn Industrial Internet (FII) to supply its range of automotive technologies.
The initial phase of the joint project will focus on the development of a full digital cockpit solution, based on the NXP i.MX 8 QuadMax. The platform will include digital clusters, and a head-up display (HUD) system, with mass production in 2023.
The companies also aim to expand the relationship into UWB-based secure car access, and safe automated driving, augmented by NXP’s leading radar solutions.
Foxconn is aiming to be a significant supplier into the automotive industry, including complete vehicles. It is also looking to make its own chips, buying a fab from Macronix and has a strategic dela with Europan car maker Stellantis that owns the Fiat, Chrysler, Citroën, Opel, Peugeot and Vauxhall brands.
