The automotive industry has long operated on a “not invented here” (NIH) philosophy. If a bolt, piston, or radio wasn’t designed within the walls of a traditional OEM, it was viewed with suspicion. But as vehicles evolve into data centers on wheels, that insular approach is hitting a brick wall.

MediaTek is no longer just a volume chip supplier. At its recent Analyst Day in San Francisco, the company made a clear case that it intends to compete as a top-tier player across AI, mobile, and edge computing — and reshape how the industry views its role. That was the

We are approaching a surreal inflection point where “gone but not forgotten” takes on a literal, high-tech, and potentially unsettling meaning. We’ve toyed with the concept of digital twins — virtual replicas used to monitor jet engines or optimize factory floors. But the focus has shifted inward. We are no
