Cars are getting smarter, the electronics used in them are getting more and more complex. On the 18th-19th October 2017, the focus will be on electronics in vehicles at the World Conference Center Bonn (WCCB). Experts will be discussing the megatrends in automotive electronics at the International VDI Congress 'Electronic in Vehicles' (ELIV).

DENSO has announced that it has developed a 24GHz submillimetre-wave rear and side radar sensor to help enhance vehicle safety systems. The sensor is used in the 2018 Toyota Camry released this past July.

The technological advances in the electronics and telecommunications sector have enabled the development of various advanced systems in the automotive industry. The seamless integration of embedded systems in vehicles has enhanced their functionalities to provide services related to navigation, diagnostics, Internet connectivity, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Thus, the modern vehicle has grown beyond just a means of transport.

The unmanned aircraft Sagitta has successfully completed its first two test flights at the Overberg test range in South Africa. The project is part of the "Open Innovation" initiative launched by aircraft manufacturer Airbus. The objective is the development of new technologies for unmanned aerial vehicles. Sagitta serves as a platform for testing these technologies and is not focused on any specific end-product.

Power electronics technology helps in the efficient conduction and control of electric power in a vehicle. The electrical components of a vehicle - which can be classified into engine electronics, transmission electronics, chassis electronics, active safety, driver assistance, telematics, passenger comfort, and entertainment systems - require power systems such as DC/DC, DC/AC, and AC/DC. The power electronic components, such as controllers, gate...

SICK has just launched its Pinspector, a specialist 3D vision solution that claims new levels of repeatability and accuracy for high-speed precision inspection of connector pins and press-fitted pins in printed circuit board and electronics manufacturing applications.The Pinspector delivers automated contactless measurement and validation before press fit to control insertion of pins and after press fit to validate the presence and height of pins...

While considered science fiction a decade earlier, semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle technologies are evolving rapidly. The prospect of autonomous driving seemed to be impossible and futuristic. The idea of autonomous vehicles is not new and traces back to the times of Leonardo Da Vinci who first sketched a three-wheeled driverless cart in 1478. Tesla’s autopilot was introduced in 2015 with driver assistance systems, which marked the i...

Stepping up the collaboration, Imagination Technologies and DENSO are working around the development of enhanced processing technologies for future in-vehicle systems.DENSO has licensed the MIPS I6500 CPU and PowerVR Series8XT GT8525 GPU from Imagination to create a test chip to exploit the capabilities of technologies such as hardware multi-threading and virtualisation for automotive electronic systems including advanced driver assistance system...
