Because of their key characteristics and proven performance, MIPI specifications have been deployed in billions of devices across an ever-broadening range of markets, in everything from mobile handsets, to IoT and AR/VR, to automotive. This presentation offered an overview of how MIPI specifications are being leveraged to integrate such functions as camera, displays, sensors and radio interfaces into automotive systems.

The presentation then took a detailed look at the upcoming MIPI A-PHY specification, which will bring an innovative solution for the "long-reach high-speed challenge‎" of connecting the highest speed electronic components throughout a vehicle. Attendees received an early look at this new physical layer specification that will work with existing MIPI specifications and others to support ADAS, autonomous driving and other surround sensor applications.
