JEDEC has published UFS 3.0, which will double the bandwidth available to smartphones and other devices, and specifies temperature event notifications intended for automotive storage applications:
Smartphones already have storage speeds that rival PCs and they're going to take another big leap soon. Standards group JEDEC has unveiled UFS 3.0, a new flash storage standard for mobile devices, Chromebooks, VR headsets and automotive devices that doubles the bandwidth of UFS 2.1 to a stellar 2.9 GB/s. That's only a theoretical maximum that real-world devices won't likely reach, however, and requires that the host device has the hardware to support it.
UFS 3.0 also lowers flash power consumption and increases reliability in a [wider range] of temperature conditions, a bonus for vehicle applications. It does all this thanks to lower voltage requirements that support the latest types of NAND, a refresh function that increases reliability, and double the speeds per lane (from 5.8 to 11.6 Gbps with a maximum of two lanes).

Have you tried coming up with a set of 3-4 letter initials that aren't already in use by a half-dozen or more things? Much less initials that correspond to words even vaguely related to your project? Random unlikely letters just off the top of my head: KRM, XYT, LRQ, MZN - all of them have several different usages showing up on the first page of a Google search.

I've taken to naming everything we design "TLA", to make it easier to remember.
