The second digital revolution is coming, are you ready?
From the beginning of the 21st century, historians will remember a profound change in the economy: the 'digital revolution', where the dominant economic players no longer come from the fields of Energy or Industry, but the famous GAFA (Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon) in Western countries and BAT (Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent) in China. This revolution is of the same magnitude as the industrial revolutions of the nineteenth century, or the invention o...
Will autonomous driving remain on the horizon?
Real autonomous driving with limited or no human interaction is still many years away, accordingto analysis by Semicast Research.Almost every vehicle maker and seemingly every tech company has now announced plans to introduce semi autonomous and fully autonomous vehicles.
Andorra becomes a 'living lab' for urban innovation research
Researchers have developed CityScope Andorra, a 3Daugmented-reality platform that visualises complex urban data on a small-scale model of the country in real-time. The platform simulates the impact of multiple urban interventions — from urban planning proposals to shared autonomous vehicles — and facilitates civic engagement and decision making.
How is space exploration improving life on Earth?
Andy Bowyer, Director, Kleos Space and Magna Parva, talked about the key effects of space exploration to life on Earth, at the Codex event 'World's Top 50 Innovators from the Industries of the Future', held in London, on the 27th September, 2017.
ADAS test solution combines hardware, software expertise
The Automotive Radar Test System (ARTS) from Konrad Technologies provides Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) test capabilities by combining the National Instruments Vehicle Radar Test System (VRTS) with Konrad’s Target Simulation Software (TSS). The TSS enables users to simulate, test and analyse complex automotive radar scenarios in a virtual environment, dramatically reducing test time and time to market for autonomous vehicles. It ...

The startups getting connected in the automotive sector
The once-humble automobile, invented in the latter part of the 19th century, heralded the end of horse power as a means of getting from A to B, and ushered in the age of the internal combustion engine.However, consumer options were pretty limited in those early days, with Henry Ford famously marketing his Model T (pictured left) by stating that: “You can have any colour, as long as it’s black.”
Concurrent GNSS timing module chosen for synchronisation system
Global provider of wireless and positioning modules and chips, u-blox, announced that its LEA-M8T concurrent GNSS timing module is now being used by V3Novus, a provider of a high quality electronic components and embedded system designs based in India, in its latest Precision Synchronisation System with built-in NTP Server.
Autonomous car concept picks you up
For some, hearing the phrase, 'Individualised, highly flexible, totally efficient local public transport' sounds like an oxymoron.It certainly is not a way many would describe the current state of public transportation. Buses, subways and other forms of public transit are pretty much the exact opposite of 'individualised', as crowded cars are a twice daily reality for commuters worldwide. And the only way most of them can be characterised as 'fle...
