Programmable Systems for Intelligence in Automobiles
25th - 26th Nov 2020- online
The project partners presented the Prystine project together with similar AutoDrive and recent new ADACORSA projects in the European Forum for Electronic Components and Systems (EFECS). Prystine project partners have compiled a project booth visuals and information on lighthouse initiatives, Lighthouse mobility. E and Lighthouse industry 4.E.
EFECS is organized annually by AENEAS, ARTEMIS-IA, EPoSS, ECSEL Joint Undertaking, and the European Commission. This year was different, as the focus was heightened on the occurring COVID19 crisis and its impact on Europe's ECS value chain. Additionally, funding opportunities were presented together with project pitches covering the healthcare sector, mobility, and industry4.0. To facilitate further discussions and overlook the future opportunities, separate sessions were created for each sector. It has expanded our cross-sectoral knowledge and know-how.
Thank you for everyone stopping by our booth. We hope all your questions were answered, and we are looking forward to seeing you next time, with even more updates about our project's results!

During the final review of 3Ccar the third ECA2030 event will be held, bringing together a large number of stakeholders and initiating discussions in an exhibition space of project’s technical demonstrators. The event will take place in Graz on 09.10.2018 at 16:30 – 18:30 in the Hans-List Center.
We will share results about translated complexity of today’s cars into semiconductors and discuss the major results seen in demonstrations, as well as discuss about changing the mind-set in terms of the safety requirements of highly automated in order to discuss the next evolution cycles, technology gaps and limits of today´s technologies to pave the way for the electric, connected, automated car for the 2030 customer (ECA-cars).
Background for the Mobility.E light house and the networking events ECA2030
- In 2030, the electric, connected and automated car will become mainstream. On a global scale, today´s yearly manufacturing volume of more than 80 Mio conventional cars will contain a share of estimated 40 Mio ECA-cars in 2030, which have to be produced in a sustainable way.
- As a consequence of this disruptive change, we need to define not only the needed technology basis, but also to identify possible gaps to gain and keep the sovereignty and the IP to build our cars in and for Europe.
- ECA2030 is especially driven along the ECS value chain by research topics based on semiconductors, embedded control, seamless communication, advanced algorithms and system integration including the needed materials. Key migration parameter, the DNA of the technologies, must be defined for the next evolution cycles.
