With an increasing need for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to be a flexible and reliable platform, field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are becoming a logical fit for next-generation safety systems in automobiles.

FPGAs provide better flexibility over its counterparts in microcontrollers (MCUs), digital signal processors (DSPs), application specific processors and any combination of these architectures.
