An Interoperable Ecosystem at The Silicon Level ft. Daniel Shwartzberg of Valens Semiconductor

Valens Semiconductor continues to be a key contributor to and champion for the MIPI A-PHY standard, the first such standard in automotive developed for high-speed sensor and display connectivity. MIPI A-PHY is designed to meet next-generation ADAS requirements, enabling high-bandwidth, low-latency connectivity to ensure passenger safety throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle.

While global adoption of the standard is ongoing, China in particular has become a pioneering region in terms of A-PHY, being home to vendors of platforms, SoCs, silicon, camera sensors, and IP & development tools, all supplying A-PHY products. The A-PHY ecosystem in China is expanding in response to market demand, especially as Chinese OEMs move at a lightning pace.   

Daniel Shwartzberg, Director of Business Development and System Solutions at Valens Semiconductor, joins AV Radio Host Carl Anthony for a discussion about MIPI A-PHY, its growing presence in China, and how a significant announcement by Mobileye will further propel the A-PHY standard. Recorded during AutoSens and InCabin USA 2025 in Detroit, Daniel also shares how a new Valens diagnostic solution can reduce vehicle repair costs and what he enjoys most about this work.
