Is AI now advanced enough for us to regulate it?
The global search for education: what's your take on singularity and the threat to humanity? Millennial bloggers weigh in their thoughts.Singularity. It’s discussed by futurists and by scientists. Then there are the rest of us grappling to get our heads around the 'reality' that within a decade or so, Artificial Intelligence will cause machines to become 'smarter' than human beings.What does all of this mean for quality of life and future l...
Imaging co-processor accelerates development of self-drive cars
A key innovation that will help the rapid development of autonomous cars has been announced by EnSilica. Its eSi-ADAS RADAR Imaging Co-processor will accelerate the commercialisation of autonomous vehicles by solving the current problem of RADAR data overload and resolution by handling this in a dedicated co-processor to enable tracking of potentially hundreds of objects to be made in real time.
Creating a more liveable London
Last month, Hardware Pioneers invited Gareth Sumner, Foresight Manager, Transport for London (TfL) to give a presentation on ‘The Future of Smart Transportation’. Sumner’s talk was centred on a sketch he drew six months ago. With large green spaces, families playing in the park, and numerous bicycles on the road, this image is TfL’s vision of a liveable London. Sumner is conscious that this transformation will not occur un...
Next-gen automotive systems discussed at ETAS Connections
AtETAS Connections 2017 in Germany,Lynx Software Technologies will be providing their insights on supporting automotive ECU consolidation without compromising safety, security and real time behaviour.
Modules accelerate first-to-market strategies
congatec has announced support of the new 64-bit NXP i.MX8 processors for the Qseven and SMARC module standards. As a member of NXP's Early Access Programme, the new congatec modules will be available in time with the production launch of the new ARM Cortex A53 / A72 based processor family.
Networked drive electronics and IoT features at SPS Drives
Showcasing innovations in drive electronics at the 2017 SPS IPC Drives exhibition in Nuremberg, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS will be found in hall 3 stand 218.The new NORDAC LINK series of field distribution systems, designed for networked intralogistics facilities with many drive axes, provides an especially good user experience.
Cost-efficient logistics drives in three preferred configurations
Within plants that contain a lot of drive units the total cost of ownership can be reduced by up to 70% through intelligent management of variants.Bearing this is mind, NORD DRIVESYSTEMS has established three preferred sizes for efficient variable-frequency drives in materials handling and conveyor applications. These cover the typical functional and performance requirements in postal hubs, intralogistics applications, and baggage handling system...
Autonomous shuttles trialled successfully in London
For the first time in the UK, the public was invited to trial autonomous electric shuttles operated by Keolis. For a month, passengers were able to try this new mode of ecological transport, which has begun to attract a growing number of cities as it offers a new response to mobility problems in urban centres.
Why do driverless cars crash into each other? To save lives
Every year,tens of thousands of Americans die in car accidents. It's a horrific reality, but one that has become normalised. With the exception of drunk driving and texting while driving, seldom do you see campaigns that raise awareness about general traffic accidents and the deaths that arise from them. One of the biggest benefits of self-driving cars is the potential to dramatically reduce the number of traffic fatalities. Author:Justin Tejada...
Safety certification packages for industrial automation
Renesas Electronics Europe has announced the availability of certification packages for the Renesas Synergy S7G2, S5D9, and S3A7 microcontroller (MCU) Groups. The certification packages offer seamless integration into safety applications and reduce system development time by up to six months while minimising risk for the customer’s system certification process.
