Efforts to improve driving safety are boosting demand for a wide variety of sensors for use in safety-related applications such as braking systems, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection, lane-departure warning and even driver alertness. All these sensors need a clean source of power and some signal conditioning to extract the most information from their raw outputs. Once the signal has been conditioned and captured, it needs to be digitised, analysed and transmitted over vehicle buses.

In the longer term, the shift from Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), such as lane-keeping and adaptive cruise control, to increased levels of vehicle autonomy, is also creating demand for passives. Increasingly sophisticated ADAS systems are setting the scene for vehicle autonomy by introducing radar systems for cruise control and collision warning, multiple camera systems for interpreting the surrounding environment, ultrasonics for proximity
