Leveraging its unique competitive edge in smartphone chip design and production, Samsung could make the competition intensify, notes the report, adding that the company's System large-scale integration (LSI) Business Department in its Device Solution Division is developing an automotive application processor dubbed 'Exynos Auto' for which it could establish a mass-production facility by the end of 2018.
The new chip would target major customers such as Audi and Harman, the latter being a subsidiary of Samsung.
According to the report, Exynos Auto would be used mostly for infotainment systems, digital dashboards, and HUDs (Head-Up Display) and in this respect, it is being developed with the aim to satisfy ASIL (Automotive Safety Integrity Level) B out of ISO 26262, an international standard for safety of automotive features.
