Micron Ships Automotive UFS 4.1, Designed to Unlock Intelligent Mobility With Speed, Safety and Reliability

Architected to power AI workloads, Micron’s latest automotive solution, built with G9 NAND, equips the industry to create safer, smarter more connected driver experiences

MUNICH, Nov. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Automotive Computing Conference -- Micron Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: MU), today announced shipping of qualification samples of its automotive universal flash storage (UFS) 4.1 solution to customers worldwide, enabling rapid data access, robust reliability and enhanced safety and security for next-generation vehicles. Delivering bandwidth of 4.2 gigabytes per second (GB/s) — double that of its predecessor — Micron’s automotive UFS 4.1 accelerates data access for AI models, enriching the in-cabin experience by powering features such as voice assistants, personalized infotainment and advanced safety alerts. This bandwidth in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles also enables rich data capture from cameras, lidar and radar sensors to upload and feed AI model retraining and enhancement in the data center.

Micron’s automotive UFS 4.1 is built with the company’s sophisticated 9^th-generation (G9) 3D NAND flash memory technology, delivering high performance and capacity and supplying the market with the latest process technology to accelerate AI. With this rollout, Micron G9 NAND is the most advanced NAND in the industry to be qualified for rigorous automotive standards such as the AEC-Q104¹ — enabling Micron’s UFS 4.1 to meet the high bar required for automotive quality, safety and reliability.
