48 SMT007 MAGAZINE I OCTOBER 2020 that's probably the case. Batteries are not nec- essarily semiconductor packaging attributes. We don't really cover that. We'll increase our content on this going forward, and we're going to leverage what the power people do in their section of the HIR roadmap in a dif- ferent chapter. Overall, we collaborate with people from other chapters, such as power and security, for when we get into things like vehicle-to-vehi- cle communications and general outside com- munications going in and out of the car. Secu- rity is a huge issue, and we do have a pretty nice writeup on that already. We also collabo- rate with the people who wrote about sensors because there are so many in cars: pressure sensors, motion sensors, and crash or g-force sensors for collision and setting off airbags. However, in our section, we focus on things that are critical to the car. Internet of things (IoT) is really about how the car communicates with the outside world. We've had some communication with them, but not a whole lot so far. The automo- tive supply chain is very different than most of the others in the world. I could probably talk about the automotive supply chain over another 25 pages, and I don't want to do that. I'm trying to convince the supply chain peo- ple to do it. The automotive chapter is unique; it's designed for robustness and reliability. It's not designed to move quickly. The automotive sup- ply chain is being challenged right now. You have automakers that are jumping over Tier 1s and making relationships directly with semi- conductor companies so that they can get a head start on some of the autonomous capabil- ities that they need to integrate into their cars over the next few years. You've seen the effort companies like Google have put into this, and their approach is completely different as well. The supply chain is going to be under forced change as we go forward in quite a few differ- ent ways. For our planned revisions, we're add- ing content for radar and camera. We're cross- referencing with power people. We're going to update and refresh our marketing information, and we're also going to be reading through the other technical working group chapter areas for enhancements. That's why we do this. We want to generate more interest in it and exposure about it. We love it when people challenge our ideas because then we say, "Okay, maybe you can contribute." Johnson: Rich, this has been awesome. Thank you. Rice: Thanks. Take care. SMT007
