Abstract

Electronics content in the car is constantly growing. On top of traditional applications for engine control, transmission, braking/steering, passive safety, body and dashboard also multimedia, advanced driver assistance and car2X segments are rapidly growing. The stability and extended duration in manufacturing of these components makes them very attractive for the industry. Extreme product quality achieved with very low cost is the key challenge. The proposed invited talk covers a broad range of topics which are defining the testability, testing and manufacturing requirements of automotive products. Advanced topics like testing of safety critical and secure devices are proposed beside more traditional topics like testability, test development, qualification, industrialization, burn-in and manufacturing. Relevant industrial cases will be proposed to participants.
