Intel is bringing the AI PC to the car with its new family of software-defined vehicle (SDV) system-on-chips.
The company will acquire Silicon Mobility SAS for advanced EV energy management and new AI capabilities.
Intel is bringing the AI PC to the car with its new family of software-defined vehicle (SDV) system-on-chips. The company announced that it will acquire Silicon Mobility SAS, a portfolio company of Cipio Partners and Capital-E, for advanced EV energy management and new AI capabilities. Intel's sustainability goals are being reinforced through its collaboration with the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) to initiate an industry-shaping standard for Electric Vehicle (EV) platform power management. The SDV SoCs unveiled by Intel signify a leap in delivering the power, scalability, and AI-driven performance that automakers demand.
Intel is rolling into CES 2024 with some big automotive announcements.
The chip giant also announced a deal to acquire Silicon Mobility, a French company dedicated to improving the efficiency of electric and hybrid electric vehicles through streamlined energy management.
Jack Weast, VP and general manager of Intel Automotive, said in a statement that Intel is taking a whole vehicle approach to solving the industry's biggest challenges.
Intel says work on its new family of software-driven vehicle SoCs will allow for AI capabilities including monitoring both the driver and passenger and generative AI functionality.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Intel's new SoC will allow for AI capabilities including monitoring both the driver and passenger and generative AI functionality. However, there is no evidence to suggest that this chip can actually monitor passengers or provide any kind of personalized driving experience.
The article states 'Intel says work on its new family of software-driven vehicle SoCs will allow for AI capabilities including monitoring both the driver and passenger' but provides no information about how these features are implemented.
There is no mention in the article of any specific generative AI functionality that this chip can provide.
Fallacies
(75%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority when stating that Intel is taking a 'whole vehicle' approach to solving the industry's biggest challenges. This statement implies that Intel has some sort of expertise or knowledge in this area, but there is no evidence provided to support this claim.

<p>Intel’s chips are already used across the automotive industry, but its latest push is meant to coincide with the broader uptick in electric vehicle sales. Adding generative AI capabilities to cars and trucks ensures that Intel can continue to burnish its gen AI bona fides with the promise that drivers will get a more personalized driving experience from their future vehicles.</p>
The acquisition of Silicon Mobility aligns with our sustainability goals while addressing a critical energy management need for the industry.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Intel's AI-enhanced software-defined vehicle system-on-chips (SoC) will enable in-vehicle AI such as driver and passenger monitoring. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that these are the only use cases for the SoC when in fact there may be other use cases as well. Secondly, the article mentions Intel's acquisition of Silicon Mobility SAS but does not disclose any details about how this will benefit Intel or its customers. This lack of transparency is concerning and could indicate that there are hidden agendas at play. Finally, the article uses buzzwords such as 'whole vehicle approach', 'software-defined architecture' and 'open platforms' to make it sound like Intel is leading the way in automotive technology when in fact these terms have been used by other companies before.
The statement that Intel's AI-enhanced software-defined vehicle system-on-chips (SoC) will enable driver and passenger monitoring is misleading. There may be other use cases for the SoC as well.
