I’ve been spending some time in Japan lately, and things are starting to get interesting when you look at who’s actually connected to whom.During a conversation with a business partner, a company called Vector came up …a Japanese player… so let’s take a look.Renesas, who,… as we all know,…licensed Akida from us, plays a pretty central role in all this. Not just because they’re integrating the Akida IP, but also because they’ve worked with Vector years ago. Back then, it was about CANopen and industrial Ethernet… not exactly headline material, but definitely industrially relevant.So what’s Vector’s role? Well, they’re not some small outfit. They’re playing in the top league, especially in the AUTOSAR space. And more recently, they’ve teamed up with Synopsys to develop SDV platforms.Yes, Synopsys… the same one that’s part of the Intel Foundry Alliance… just like BrainChip.What’s emerging here is a pretty tight-knit web of players. Not all directly connected, but definitely linked through shared nodes:
And when you also consider that Vector has been working with Mercedes-Benz on SDV tooling and embedded software…Well, maybe it’s worth taking a closer look at what’s possibly already brewing quietly in the background.Coincidence? Or is there already something moving under the radar that just hasn’t made it to the headlines yet?Just asking for a friend.I’m no engineer…But the network is definitely there.I’m not good at researching so I leave it to you …
