Connected Car

As the automotive industry advances toward automated, connected vehicles, engineers face the challenge of integrating technologies capable of processing vast data volumes in real-time without significantly increasing vehicle costs. Level-5 autonomous driving requires radar, LiDAR, video cameras, and high-performance onboard computer systems, but accommodating these components generates electromagnetic interference (EMI) and excess heat, hindering connectivity and safety. Parker addresses these challenges with innovative shields and thermal management technologies, effectively containing electromagnetic noise and dissipating heat from critical components, ensuring seamless integration of advanced connectivity and safety features in vehicles.

With the introduction of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and other semi-autonomous driving technologies, a different concept of the vehicle is emerging. In the future, the car will be a media playback center, telephone, office, and extension of the home’s living room which also happens to be able to convey passengers from A to B.
