Products of the Week: Automotive

April 18, 2021
In this roundup, we will look at some of the latest innovations released for the automotive industry in 2021.

Automotive technology has advanced far enough that the latest electronics matter just as much as what’s under the hood. These systems are key to everything from safety and security to connectivity and communication. It’s even more so when it comes to autonomous vehicles, which rely on LiDAR and a host of sensors for object detection and navigation. Keyless entry, camera systems, infotainment platforms, telematics, and connectivity devices are just some of the technologies that can be found in the latest vehicles. In this roundup, we will look at some of the latest innovations released for the automotive industry in 2021.
