AMD to invest $400 million in India by 2028: Here’s what we know

US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices said on Friday it will invest around $400 million in India over the next five years and will build its largest design center in the tech hub of Bengaluru. AMD’s announcement was made by its Chief Technology Officer Mark Papermaster at an annual semiconductor conference that started Friday in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state of Gujarat. Other speakers at the flagship event include Foxconn Chairman Young Liu and Micron CEO Sanjay Mehrotra. Despite being a late entrant, the Modi government has been courting investments into India’s nascent chip sector to establish its credentials as a chipmaking hub. AMD said it will open its new design centre campus in Bengaluru by end of this year and create 3,000 new engineering roles within five years. “Our India teams will continue to play a pivotal role in delivering the high-performance and adaptive solutions that support AMD customers worldwide,” Papermaster said.

Google’s Android OS will run on millions of Ford cars in 2023: Report

Connected cars are not a thing of the future anymore as a slew of them are being launched in the global market. Amid the push for smarter cars, American car manufacturer Ford has announced that all its cars are going to run on Google’s Android operating system in 2023.

This means that Ford cars would not need to be retrofitted with hardware to run Android Auto and will be able to run software like Google Maps as well as other Android apps without the need for a smartphone.

Google partners with Ford

Ford’s top brass has said that the company is establishing a new collaborative group called Team Upshift where employees from both Google and Android will work together on this project.

“This may include projects ranging from modernizing our plants through vision AI, developing new retail experiences when buying a vehicle, creating new ownership offers based on connected vehicle data, and more,” McClelland said in a post.

“By leveraging Google Cloud, we’ll continue our digital transformation and power connected vehicle technologies with a trusted, secure and global cloud solution”.

Many more joining the race

Ford isn’t the only one partnering with Google. Other automakers like Volvo, General Motors and the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance have struck a deal with Google to use its software to power the vehicle infotainment services.

In addition to the Google Play ecosystem, Ford and third-party developers will work to create more Android applications for the automobile ecosystem to improve and more personalize the ownership experience.

Other projects

The company has also said that it will divert a significant part of its engineering talent from operating system development to customer innovations

“Teaming up with Google allows us to accelerate our ability to challenge our current ownership model and deploy new business models to capture recurring revenue and profit from software, data and connected ecosystems,” McClelland said.

At the moment most of the automobile manufacturers are using custom user interfaces for their own cars and allow users the option of Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as third-party smartphone connectivity software.
