The automotive industry is entering a huge technological shift. Electrification is rapidly being introduced as the industry looks to adopt sustainable energy solutions. Autonomous driving is forecast to save countless lives and reduce the number of incidents on the road.

The Arm Cortex-M family is widely used as the primary core in automotive microcontrollers (MCUs), and as a companion core in many automotive system on chip (SoC) designs. These cores have a multitude of safety features that partners can utilize to achieve their safety goals in an efficient way. Recently Cortex-M55 joined the long list of safety assessed processors. This provides our partners with the additional level of assurance that our market-leading product has been developed to the highest safety standards.
