Research and development into unmanned vehicles has made considerable progress in the past few years. Designing fully autonomous vehicles presents additional challenges since they need to share operational space with human-operated vehicles.

Over the next few years it is guaranteed that we will see more self-driving cars hitting the road, and therefore sophisticated communications systems will rely on a fast, reliable network that’s capable of being a data superhighway.Self-driving or autonomous cars are ahot topic, but the road to autonomous driving is curvy and complicated.

‘Oh yeah, and pigs might fly’, is a saying that is often used. We know that pigs will never fly, but what about cars?It has been announced that European aerospace manufacturer Airbus Group has made plans to develop and build a car that is practical and flies.

The guiding theme of ISH 2017 (14th-18thMarch, Frankfurt am Main) is 'energy efficiency and comfort in buildings.' At booth B69 in hall 10.3, the EnOcean Alliance, along with 14 of its members, is to present energy harvesting wireless solutions for building automation and the smart home.

A micro-aerial vehicle is in project focus with surprising components: an actual dragonfly insect being steered to create an aerial vehicle smaller lighter and stealthier than anything that is man made.We are used to scientists wanting to copy insects when engineering the design of aerial items. Well, here the goal of the project is to turn insects into cyborg drones.The research and development project is going on at Cambridge, MA-based Draper.

A partnership including University of Wisconsin–Madison engineers has been named one of 10 proving grounds for driverless cars and trucks by the U.S. Department of Transportation.The future of transportation undoubtedly includes vehicles that operate with little or no input from human operators, according to Peter Rafferty, a program manager at UW–Madison’s Traffic Operations and Safety Laboratory (TOPS).

Acal BFi announces the addition of the award winning Tronics GYPRO3300 MEMS angular rate sensor with supporting evaluation board to its comprehensive portfolio. Tronics has pushed technological boundaries of design with the GYPRO3300; the sensor utilises Tronics’ proprietary vacuum wafer-level packaging technology to deliver best-in-class performance and accuracy in an ultra-compact design, while offering a plug-and-play and open source tes...

A receiver test solution with 100 percent coverage of the MIPI Alliance's recently released D-PHY v.2.0 specification along with full support for the C-PHY v1.1 receiver test specification has been released by Tektronix. Tektronix now offers MIPI designers, such as those working on autonomous driving systems or in-vehicle infotainment, simplified PHY receiver test set up and faster test execution combined with excellent signal fidelity and flexib...

The new report from IDTechEx Research,Energy Independent Electric Vehicles Land, Water, Air 2017-2037, reveals how energy independent Electric Vehicles (EIV) such as solar racers were a curiosity five years ago, too weak to lead to anything generally useful. Then a solar boat and plane went round the world and a solar plane is now being prepared that will rise from earth to 24,386km (80,000ft) on sunshine alone.
