OmniVision Technologies has announced the OV9284, a 1-megapixel global shutter image sensor. This latest addition to OmniVision’s automotive portfolio is suitable for in-cabin camera modules in passenger vehicles, where Driver State Monitoring (DSM) and passenger-monitoring cameras need to be extremely small and unobtrusive, while complying with stringent safety regulations.

Most humans are blinded when driving into the sun.

As several US cities have shown, sensors and data processing gets us pothole counting and prediction for example. However, it is now clear that smart cities can be zero emission, quiet and make all their own clean water, food and electricity. That beats counting potholes any day. Indeed, smart materials are leading to modular roads made from recycled plastic that are hollow, taking flood water, generate their own electricity for self de-icing and...

Drive System Design (DSD) will present two technical papers addressing the challenges faced in the optimisation of EV powertrainsat the 17th CTI Symposium in Berlin from 3rd-6th December. Both exhibit a systems engineering approach developed by DSD to optimise the complete powertrain and its cost. The first demonstrates the benefits of using the approach to identify opportunities for lowering the initial investment cost associated with battery te...

Electronic Specifier had a chance to meet with memory solutions provider Micron at the recent electronica exhibition in Munich. The company, with headquarters in Boise, Idaho, specialises in DRAM, NAND Flash, NOR Flash, Hybrid memory solutions and Solid State Drives (SSDs), which have applications in a broad line of industries such as automotive, consumer, embedded, industrial, mobile, networking and financial.

In recent years, cryptocurrencies have brought increasingly more interest in blockchain technology. This has allowed the application of this technology in a number of different industries, and the automotive sector is no exception.

The global autonomous vehicle market is expected to grow at a rate of almost40% from 2019 to 2026as at least46 companies, including the likes of Tesla and Alphabet, develop self-driving vehicles that willadd $7 trillionto the global economy.

Why would you want to know the dynamic tilt angle on a vehicle? Consider a classic example of a plane in the clouds. The pilot cannot see the ground, nor can he or she trust their instincts because they will feel a false gravity when the aircraft is turning. This means they need a dynamic tilt sensor which – in an aircraft - is often called a vertical gyro or the artificial horizon. Similar technology is used in automobiles.

The compelling programme of events hosted by Hardware Pioneers over the course of 2018 drew to a close last week with its IoT Startup Night. Hundreds filled the regular central London venue to maximum capacity in order to see a series of aspiring young companies (15 in total) pitch their product innovations.

The automotive industry request sensor prototypes to test new algorithms and application possibilities in the early stage of their design. For this reason, Infineon developed a new methodology, allowing a smooth transition from idea to implementation. By Simone Fontanesi, Gaetono Formato, Andrea Monterastelli, Infineon Technologies
