Kurt Sievers, President and CEO of NXP, commented on the results, stating, “We are navigating a soft landing by managing what is in our control, especially limiting over-shipment of products to customers.”
Noteworthy among recent strategic moves is NXP’s investment in and collaboration with Zendar Inc., a software start-up dedicated to revolutionizing autonomous vehicle systems through high-resolution radar, approaching LIDAR performance.
In the previous year, NXP expanded its scalable S32 vehicle compute platform with the introduction of the S32M2. This purpose-built motor control solution is optimized to enhance efficiency across vehicle edge node applications. The expansion enables carmakers to optimize product development and maximize software re-use across S32 platform implementations.
Additionally, in November, NXP introduced the Trimension NCJ29D6, a fully integrated automotive single-chip Ultra-Wideband (UWB) family. Integrated by major automotive OEMs, devices from this family are expected to hit the roads in model year 2025 vehicles.
