Fabless Semiconductor Startup Exploring Technological Challenges of Electric Mobility Requirements and Applications
Batteries are currently the primary means of electric energy storage for electric transport vehicles.
The broad adoption of electric propulsion across all types of transportation vehicles faces the severe impediment of insufficient energy density of batteries. The pace at which energy density is increasing in batteries has been glacial and will continue to be for the foreseeable future, unless something drastic changes. This energy density challenge has held back the full potential of electric propulsion which limits the full economic and environmental benefits that could and should be available to electric mobility.
As the number of vehicles on land, sea, and air begin to outstrip the number of available drivers, pilots and operators in general, along with ever increasing speeds, distances, and travel times, the need for autonomous operations will evolve from a 'nice to have' feature in vehicles to mandatory requirement. Full autonomous operations are currently very challenging to implement for each specific vehicle type (especially without supporting infrastructure). Each manufacturer has to customize their autonomy implementation for each vehicle type which is very time-consuming and costly in terms of non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs. There is a need for enabling autonomous implementations safely, quickly, and efficiently across all manufacturers that will allow them to focus their time, energy, and money on building and churning out vehicles at the pace their markets demand.
As fully autonomous vehicles become increasingly ubiquitous, operators and passengers (think robo taxis) will need to interface across all vehicles in a consistent and safe manner. Commands and requests need to be consistently understood across all vehicles and operators to ensure the autonomous system and its vehicle executes the desired and predicted outcome without confusion or equivocation. There will be a need for standardized user interfaces which includes how information is displayed, how it is communicated to the system, and how the system responds to the user.
Whether electric transport vehicles are manually or autonomously operated, a supporting infrastructure for vehicles is needed. Cars already have established road networks with traffic signals and clear rules of the road and driver licensing. Airplanes are required to have certificated pilots, avionics equipment that can detect other aircraft and navigate independently. But what happens with autonomy, what kind of infrastructure is needed? What happens when we combine Advanced Air Mobility with autonomy? The existing infrastructure is not currently appropriately equipped or even built out to handle the changes that autonomy (in all vehicles) and Advanced Air Mobility will require.
Regulations typically change much more slowly with respect to the needs of rapidly evolving industries and markets. There has been some progress in aviation for Advanced Air Mobility but the automotive industry has lagged behind the pace of the electric car industry which has pushed the boundaries of autonomous vehicles onto the public with mixed results.
Incorporated as a Delaware C Corporation in 2025, Electredyne is a fabless semiconductor company with plans to establish itself in the Northern Virginia area. Originally conceived as a fabless semiconductor company targeting energy solutions for electric aviation, the company is focused on utilizing semiconductor technologies to overcome the fundamental challenges preventing electric mobility from fulfilling its full potential across automotive, aviation, maritime and locomotive industries.
