Renesas updates R-Car V3H with improved deep learning performance
Renesas Electronics hasintroduced an update of its R-Car V3H System-on-Chip (SoC) to deliver significantly improved deep learning performance for smart camera applications, including driver and occupant monitoring systems (DMS / OMS), automotive front cameras, surround view, and auto parking for high volume vehicles up to Level 2+.
Whitepaper shares perspectives on disruptive LiDAR tech
Against a background of the increased application of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in vehicles, Ricardo has published a whitepaper investigating the market for LiDAR technology in such systems. In particular, the paper focuses on a new, lower-cost solution that may be disruptive to the market for vision-based sensor and real time spatial mapping systems.
eGaN FET for high power density solutions
Efficient Power Conversion has advanced the performance capability of low voltage, off-the-shelf gallium nitride transistors with the introduction of the EPC2055 (3 mΩ, 40 V) eGaN FET. This device is suited for applications with demanding requirements for performance in space-constrained form factors including USB-C batter chargers and ultra-thin point-of-load (POL) converters.
Increasing the output of spatial recognition systems
ROHM’s newly developed VCSEL technology achieves greater accuracy in spatial recognition and distance measuring systems by using Time Of Flight (TOF) systems. The VCSEL (short for vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser) module technology has become popular in recent years with the adoption of laser light sources for spatial recognition in tablets and facial recognition in smartphones.
Smart city materials $400bn market
Smart cities are now much more ambitious. That means new materials are their biggest enabler, with information and computer technology dropping to an important support role. The major new IDTechEx report, 'Smart Cities Emerging Materials Markets 2021-2041'explains.
Additions to the Quartz RFSoC Architecture family
Pentek has introduced additions to the Quartz RFSoC Architecture family, the Model 6350S and Model 6353S (Gen 3 RFSoC), eight-channel A/D and D/A converter subsystems in rugged small form factor package.
Partnership advances adoption of piezoelectric MEMS
STMicroelectronics has announced a collaboration with A*STAR’s IME, a research institute in Singapore, and ULVAC, a Japanese manufacturing-tool vendor, to jointly setup and operate an eight-inch (200mm) R&D line focused on piezoelectric MEMS technology within ST’s existing manufacturing facility in Singapore.
Is Amazon Zoox a mistake?
Too small. Too unpleasant for passengers. Zoox, bought by Amazon, makes what it calls a robotaxi, but it looks like a robot shuttle and is a bad compromise of both. As the IDTechEx reports on each explained, a robotaxi is usually an adapted car.
Cadence Tensilica ConnX certification for V2X DSP IP
Cadence Design Systems has announced that the Cadence Tensilica ConnX B10 and ConnX B20 DSPs are DSPs optimised for automotive radar, lidar and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) to achieve Automotive Safety Integrity Level B in support of D (ASIL B(D))-compliant certification.
Accelerating Lidar innovations for autonomous driving
dSPACE and Velodyne Lidar has entered into a partnership to accelerate future developments of lidar technologies for autonomous driving. To this end, dSPACE, has joined the Velodyne program ‘Automated with Velodyne.’ The program aims to accelerate ecosystem interactions and rapidly integrate lidar innovations into a range of autonomous solutions including autonomous driving.
