Renesas hits the accelerator on autonomous and cockpit development
Renesas has announced the next-gen of its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), automated driving, and connected cockpit demonstration vehicles. From sensor fusion to ADAS to connected cockpits, the three Renesas vehicles demonstrate fully integrated systems based on advanced, production-ready technologies that enable OEMs and Tier 1s to solve the complex challenges of autonomous vehicle design as the industry shifts from test and simulation...
Metnet 12Gbps 60GHz mmWave system utilises 3D SON interference
The Metnet 12Gbps unlicensed 60GHz mmWave access and backhaul solution has just been launched by Cambridge Communication Systems (CCS).The ultra-high capacity 12Gbps multipoint system is the first element in CCS’s new software-defined Mesh network architecture, with multiple Metnet 60GHz nodes operating as a centrally managed SDN-capable networking switch.
Miniaturisation helps atomic clocks to explore piezoelectric vibration
A research group that includes Motoaki Hara, Senior Researcher at the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT, President: Hideyuki Tokuda, Ph.D.), developed a simple miniaturised atomic clock system, which does not require a complicated frequency multiplication, as an outcome of a collaboration with Professor Takahito Ono of Tohoku University (President: Susumu Satomi) and Associate Professor Hiroyuki Ito of Tokyo In...
Mouser strengthens Bluetooth module offering
Mouser Electronics has signed a global distribution agreement with Insight SiP, providers of ready-to-use radio frequency (RF) modules for Bluetooth low energy applications. Through the agreement, Mouser will stock Insight SiP’s Bluetooth low energy modules, designed for low-power wireless connectivity applications, such as telecom and mobile computing, portable consumer devices, health care, connected automobiles, industrial, and Internet ...
What's got no steering wheel, pedals or driver?
In theory, there's no reason why a fully autonomous vehicle would need pedals or a steering wheel. If a driverless car is turning, accelerating and braking entirely on its own, the auto parts that allow humans to perform these tasks become redundant. Author: Justin Tejada, The Connected Car
Meltdown Schmeltdown - Lynx customers immune to security flaw
Lynx Software Technologies has confirmed that both its ARM and Intel LynxSecure customers’ are protected from Meltdown, the infamous hardware vulnerability that has exposed almost every other operating system based computer system on the planet.LynxSecure is a true high assurance separation kernel virtualisation technology founded on a robust design.
Virtualised GPU core to meet automotive needs for infotainment
Imagination Technologies hasannounced a new, high performance GPU core that supports the multiple, ultra high resolution displays for cluster, Head-Up Display (HUD) and infotainment that automotive manufactures are fitting to car interiors from 2018 onwards. Thanks to an 80% fillrate density improvement over the previous generation, the Furian Architecture-based four-cluster PowerVR Series8XT GT8540 GPU can simultaneously drive up to six 4K scree...
Self-driving vehicle course is quackers
ETH Zurich students are learning about self-driving vehicles using a model with a fleet of mini-taxis. As part of the Duckietown course, they are working together with students in Montreal and Chicago on problems that concern developers of self-driving cars around the world.
Memory solution supports AI automotive and networking applications
The new GDDR6 (Graphics Double Data Rate) Memory PHY IP Core has been announced by Rambus, which is targeted for high-performance applications including cryptocurrency mining, artificial intelligence (AI), ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and networking.
Agricultural robots predicted to be worth $45bn by 2038
The world of agriculture is being quietly transformed by robotic technology. One question to consider is whether tractors will evolve towards full unmanned autonomy?Tractor guidance and autosteer are well-established technologies. In the short to medium terms, both will continue their growth thanks to improvements and cost reductions in RTK GPS technology. Indeed, ID TechEx estimates that around 700,000 tractors equipped with autosteer or tractor...
