One of the main trends in the automotive PCB market is the increased use of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). The application of PCB in ADAS is predicted to experience significant growth in the future, prompting businesses to focus on enhancing the capacity of automotive PCB in order to satisfy the growing need for ADAS. To illustrate, in April 2023, Cadence Design Systems, Inc., a company based in California that offers a wide variety of products and advanced solutions for various industry design processes, introduced Cadence Allegro X AI technology. This new technology automates essential tasks like placement and routing, cutting down the time taken to complete these actions from days to only minutes. This improvement is especially useful for smaller and medium-sized designs, tackling classical issues related to physical layout and analysis. With the use of cloud resources, Allegro X AI boosts productivity due to its scalable computational power, promoting efficient design automation.
