That’s the view of Mary Gustanski, Delphi Automotive’s vice president of engineering and program management. And I agree. Gustanski is charged with looking into the future and developing electrical architectures that will have to support: • All the components for autonomous driving -- cameras, radar, lidar sensors, computers, etc. • A greater array of drivetrain components, such as the oil and water pumps, that will switch from mechanical to electrical power. • An assortment of hybrid-drive parts that will propel the car under electric power. • More computing power that will improve vehicles’ connectivity, not just to the Internet, but to other vehicles and buildings, traffic signals and other structures in the env...
