      I make specialty vehicle electronics. My immediate thought was very small and cheap sensors. Similar to tire pressure monitoring but wired with CAN or something similar.

      Same way you would in any other microcontroller application, but smaller, so the whole device can be smaller.

      Get small enough and we can really have those bloodstream robots.

      In any use where size and or weight is important. For example wearables and flying drones

      In small things. Probably not very feasible for hobby projects unless you can get it soldered on when the PCB is built.

        BGA, like in the photo, isn’t the only option. There are options only slightly larger with hand-solderable packages (if you’re good at soldering)
