Insight: Micron sets new benchmark in automotive memory for AI-driven vehicles

See how Micron’s UFS 4.1 advances automotive storage with G9 3D NAND, higher bandwidth, wider thermal support, and readiness for AI-driven cockpit and ADAS systems.

Micron’s automotive UFS 4.1, built on its ninth-generation (G9) 3D NAND and certified to AEC-Q104 standards, doubles interface bandwidth to 4.2 GB/s and extends thermal operation to +115 °C. This combination enables faster boot times, real-time sensor data processing, and supports in-cabin generative AI workloads that can demand terabytes of sustained throughput each day. With sampling underway, the device positions Micron to win early design contracts in centralized cockpit systems and ADAS architectures that require both high endurance and consistent thermal performance. This report discusses the significance of Micron’s announcement and its implications for the automotive industry as it advances toward AI-driven autonomous driving.
