AERI supports self driving car development. News about the progress of self driving cars never ends. One great website to see it all is Spectrum. In our efforts to help this technology along, we have been assisting many of manufacturers with their current products, which are already on the road, as well as their development engineers, which need the latest electronic components on the market. We partner with our customers offering them solutions to buy safely (avoiding counterfeits).
