TORONTO — Western Digital is directing its iNAND embedded flash to the automotive market.

The company’s iNAND storage portfolio came with the SanDisk acquisition; the latter company has previously positioned it for the increasingly high demands of smartphones, such as professional-grade digital photography and 4K Ultra-HD video playback.

Under the Western Digital umbrella, the technology is seeing opportunities for it to meet the evolving demands of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), infotainment and safety systems, and other data storage requirements of connected vehicles.
