London’s City Hall has recently played host to a meeting of leading drone industry stakeholders who gathered to discuss how best to harness UK expertise to enable the delivery of ‘Beyond Visual Line of Sight’ (BVLOS) and ‘Vertical Take-Off and Landing’ (VTOL) Drone Flights and ‘Unmanned Traffic Management’ (UTM) systems for drones.

Addison Lee plans self-driving taxis by 2021. It will start by creating detailed maps that record the position of kerbs, road signs and traffic lights, in preparation for autonomous cars. Dr Sally Epstein, Machine Learning expert at Cambridge Consultants, applauds the ambition but cautions that full autonomy remains a long way off.

WMG at the University of Warwick have begun work with a consortium of 11 organisations lead by Latent Logic in Oxford on a £2.7m UK government funded project to create a highly accurate virtual reality simulator environment, including Artificial Intelligence (AI) trained models of pedestrians and road users, to test connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs).

Micron Technology has announced that it will collaborate with the BMW Group to further advance the development of automotive memory solutions used in vehicles.

Micron Technology has announced its complete high-density automotive AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (+125°C) qualified NOR flash portfolio to enable next-generation, ultra-high temperature automotive solutions with fast boot and instant-on performance, along with direct execute-in-place (XiP) operation.

Micron Technology has introduced the industry’s first 1TB automotive and industrial grade PCIe NVMe solid state drive (SSD) in BGA and 22x30mm M.2 form factors at Electronica 2018. Based on 64-layer triple-level cell (TLC) 3D NAND technology, the new Micron 2100 series of NVMe SSDs is designed for next-generation autonomous cars and the industrial internet of things (IIoT).

An efficient automotive infotainment networking solution has been announced by Microchip that supports all data types over a single cable. Intelligent Network Interface Controller networking (INICnet) technology is a synchronous, scalable solution that simplifies building audio and infotainment systems, offering implementation in vehicles that have Ethernet-oriented system architectures.

Two years from now, the US space agency NASA will send a new rover to the Red Planet. This trip will include a small helicopter which will take the first aerial photos of Mars. The rotors will be controlled by robust DC motors from Switzerland.

Why should connecting a trailer be such a hassle? So much so, in fact, that 50% of people prefer not to bother at all. And why have towbars looked more or less the same since 1932? Technology company Semcon put together a team of women to provide more perspectives on product development, resulting in a new automatic concept where cars and trailers connect themselves together without the driver leaving the car.

With the UK MoD having recognised the potential of Military Robotics and Autonomous Systems (RAS) to provide strategic superiority in military operations, the two-day conference (held on 4th-5th April 2019 in London) will seek to further enhance and modernise the British Army’s capabilities with new emerging technologies. Emerging technologies and their implication on future land warfare are vast and understanding the main issues behind lan...
