Partnership joins forces on AI and quantum computing
During the state visit of His Excellency Emmanuel Macron President of the French Republic, the Belgian research centre imec and the French research institute CEA-Leti, two research and innovation hubs in nanotechnologies for industry, announced that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) that lays the foundation of a strategic partnership in the domains of Artificial Intelligence and quantum computing.
One step ahead: Adaptive radar systems for ADAS
Constantly changing environments represent an enormous challenge for modern driver assistance systems. To meet these challenges, software controlled automotive radars offer entirely new opportunities. They are compact, low cost, and also extremely versatile and highly reconfigurable.
LTE-V2X: Automobile direct communication on trial
Traffic networking promises more safety, more energy efficiency, and fewer emissions. To do this, the first commercial technology connects automobiles with the 'curb' via LTE.Smart traffic systems and networked automobiles are the milestones on the way to the completely driverless vehicle. And LTE-V2X (Vehicle-to-everything,V2X) is one of the technologies that may make this happen. It connects vehicles directly with each other, with the traffic i...
