The automotive industry gathered this week in Munich to drive the future of mobility forward, with a particular focus on compute and software, two of the most important components of future innovation.
RISC-V International and Infineon Technologies took this opportunity to curate the RISC-V Automotive Conference 2025, bringing together the RISC-V automotive ecosystem to discuss the future of the Software-Defined Vehicle.
The overarching theme was “Shaping the Future of Mobility with Open Standards and Strong Partnership,” and this partnership was in clear view with many different companies, including Synopsys, MIPS, Hightec, Lauterbach, Green Hills Software, Tasking, PLS, Qt, MathWorks, and Quintauris, joining the event.
RISC-V is the open industry standard Instruction Set Architecture (ISA), bringing new possibilities for innovation to automotive. An ISA is the interface between hardware and software, and the open nature of the RISC-V ISA enables hardware and software to form a closer relationship for a more optimized and innovative solution.
