Dressed in his trademark black leather jacket, speaking to a crowd of some 400 automakers, media and analysts, Huang explained that the new DRIVE PX 2 delivers 8 teraflops of processing power. It has the processing power of 150 MacBook Pros and it’s the size of a lunchbox, in contrast to earlier autonomous-driving technology being used today, which takes up the entire trunk of a mid-sized sedan.
“Self-driving cars will revolutionize society,” Huang said at the beginning of his talk. “And NVIDIA’s vision is to enable them.”
The NVIDIA presentation will leave an impression on an audience that’s going to be hearing a lot about the future of driving in the week ahead. It certainly gave us lots of questions to ask of the various automotive companies that will be exhibiting.
After providing a lengthy and detailed technical description Huang announced that Volvo is to deploy DRIVE PX in self-driving SUVs. And so it begins in earnest. Driving and travel by automobile may never be the same.

The Chemical Connection: Onshoring PCB Production—Daunting but Certainly Possible
10/22/2025 | Don Ball -- Column: The Chemical ConnectionIn the past year, several potential customers, concerned about the impending application of tariffs on incoming goods, have asked us what it would take to bring their circuit board production back to the U.S. While they also had other considerations, the threat of new tariffs was the tipping point that started them thinking about the economic advantages of bringing their manufacturing back onshore. It might be interesting to relate our experiences with two of those inquiries.
Waging the Battle for American PCB Reshoring
10/21/2025 | Marcy LaRont, PCB007 MagazineLegislation is shaping global trade, tariffs, and sustainability and environmental regulations. David Schild of PCBAA discusses exactly where the U.S. stands in its efforts to reshore printed circuit board manufacturing for critical industries. This conversation at PCB West occurred on the first day of the federal government’s shutdown, so it seemed especially timely to hear David's thoughts and insights on how the current political climate is affecting efforts to achieve the U.S. industry’s reshoring goals.
The Right Approach: Electro-Tek—A Williams Family Legacy, Part 1
10/15/2025 | Steve Williams -- Column: The Right ApproachThere is no bronze bust in the lobby or portrait in the conference room of Electro-Tek's founder—my Dad, Charles “Chuck” Williams—so with the facility closing last year after 56 years, I feel it is time to tell the story. Chuck Williams founded Electro-Tek in 1968 in our basement, eventually moving into the second floor of an old 1913 building in downtown Milwaukee that is still standing (the first of three eventual facilities).

Delegates were welcomed by technical director Emma Hudson who introduced and moderated a skilfully coordinated programme, focused on the highly relevant theme of sustainability.
Hardware Engineers, Manufacturing Leaders Ready to ‘Build Better’ Electronics
10/06/2025 | Marcy LaRont, I-Connect007According to Instrumental’s dynamic CEO, Anna-Katrina Shedletsky, the Build Better Electronics Manufacturing Summit on Sept. 30 was a passion project meant to provide a forum for hardware engineering senior leadership, who have very busy jobs and limited opportunities, to share information, thought leadership, and networking opportunities. “Build Better is really about cross-pollination and sharing,” she said, as she highlighted the importance of supporting this type of sharing in tech, which may be more important than ever before.
