TCS expands custom chip design services for next-generation vehicles
Tata Consultancy Services has started helping vehicle companies design their own computer chips.
These chips are called System-on-Chips, or SoCs.
They can help cars run software, sensors and safety features more efficiently.
TCS will help with the chip’s planning, design, testing and software connection.
The service is meant for newer software-defined vehicles.
These vehicles use centralized computers and features such as advanced driver assistance systems.
TCS says custom chips may improve performance, energy use and user experiences.
The company’s shares were flat on Thursday, although they had declined over the previous month and six months.
