Future Cars Face Terabyte Memory Load

MADISON, Wis. – For a highly automated or outright self-driving car in, say, 2020, how much memory capacity, to capture, process and store data, will be enough?

A consensus among experts in automotive and memory industries is this connected vehicle will require data storage of at least hundreds of gigabytes (GB) and probably a terabyte (TB).

With that prospect in mind, Western Digital rolled out earlier this week a new embedded flash drive, called iNAND 7250A, specifically designed as an automotive-grade storage device able to perform reliably in extreme conditions in and around the vehicle -- including ambient temperatures down to -40oC and up to 105oC.

Western Digital is predicting “a dramatic growth” in memory demand on the automotive market over the next five years. Martin Booth, senior director of automotive devices product marketing for Western Digital, told us the need for more data storage space per vehicle is no longer just driven by infotainment systems, but by ADAS and autonomous cars needing intelligent data storage subsystems to achieve greater safety.
