How close are we to autonomous cars?
In the past decade, progress continues in the development and deployment of autonomous driving technologies, as we see market leaders like Google’s Waymo have achieved the milestones in on-road testing of their self-driving fleets, and companies like Tesla announced ambitious plans to commercialise robotaxi services in geo-fenced areas by 2020.
Smart materials emerge as a $200bn business
Here come previously impossible devices and structures. The new IDTechEx report, ‘Smart Material Opportunities in Structural Electronics 2020-2030’ has analysed and forecasted a remarkable $200bn materials opportunity by making dumb structures smart. Save weight, space and cost. Eliminate maintenance.
Megatrend-enabling ASIC technology at Embedded World 2020
Swindon Silicon Systems, a Sensata Technologies company, is using this year’s Embedded World to prove to visitors the benefits of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and how their integration into a product or system provides a genuine technical and commercial advantage.
Electrification: another (r)evolution for the automotive sector?
“The automotive industry is facing a downturn in car sales - this is accepted reality,” asserted Santosh Kumar, Principal Analyst and Director Packaging, Assembly & Substrates, Yole Korea.“The industry’s difficulties are partly linked to the political tension between China and US, Brexit and the severe ecological regulations in Europe.”These occurrences are global drivers that the automotive industry cannot predi...
Enabling autonomous vehicles to see in adverse conditions
AI technology for self-driving cars is usually trained in ideal conditions.
Tyre pressure monitoring to improve autonomous vehicles safety
Falken’s parent company, Sumitomo Rubber Industries (SRI), has developed a solution to remotely monitor the tyre pressure of an unoccupied vehicle. In a crucial step towards ensuring the safety of autonomous vehicles Level 4 and above, SRI has successfully established links between its Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) and an Autonomous Driving Control Centre.
Sidewalk last mile delivery robots: a billion dollar market by 2030?
Last mile delivery is the most expensive part of the delivery chain, often representing more than 50% of the overall cost. This is mainly because it is the least productive and automated step. As such, many are seeking to bring automation into the last mile. In recent years, many companies around the world have been innovating to utilise autonomous mobile robots, drones, and autonomous vehicle technology. By:Dr Khasha Ghaffarzadeh, Research Dire...
Easy to use eight channel ADC converter with internal oscillator
The ADS7028 from Texas Instruments is an easy-to-use, eight-channel, multiplexed, 12-bit, 1-MSPS, successive approximation register analogue-to-digital converter (SAR ADC). The eight channels can be independently configured as either analogue inputs, digital inputs, or digital outputs. The device has an internal oscillator for the ADC conversion process.
