SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a leader in flash storage solutions, has introduced a new suite of automotive grade NAND flash solutions designed for next-generation ‘connected cars’ and automotive infotainment systems.

SanDisk Automotive storage solutions are optimized to bring reliable, high-performance storage to a wide range of in-vehicle applications, including 3D mapping and advanced augmented reality in navigation systems, entertainment systems, intuitive driver assist technology, data event recorders, and more.

The need is clear: Today’s vehicles are rapidly becoming more technologically sophisticated, with many featuring advanced connected applications that were once only possible on a smartphone. A recent Gartner Research report forecasted that “about one in five vehicles on the road worldwide will have some form of wireless network connection by 2020, amounting to more than 250 million connected vehicles in service.”

“Flash is enabling dramatic innovation in the auto industry and is expected to transform the car into one of the most connected devices we own,” said Drew Henry, senior vice president and general manager, Mobile and Connected Solutions, SanDisk.

SanDisk’s solution includes an automotive grade SanDisk® SD™ card and iNAND™ embedded flash drive (EFD), which are available to automotive manufacturers in capacities up to 64GB2.
