Renesas Electronics and TSMC have announced that they are collaborating on 28nm eFlash process technology for manufacturing MCUs targeted at next-gen green and autonomous vehicles. The automotive MCUs employing this new 28nm process technology are slated for sample shipment and mass production in 2017 and 2020, respectively.

A panel of academic and industrial thinkers has looked ahead to 2030 to forecast how advances in AI might affect life in a typical North American city – in areas as diverse as transportation, health care and education ­– and to spur discussion about how to ensure the safe, fair and beneficial development of these rapidly emerging technologies.

Until recently, radar sensor development was one of the automotive industry’s last remaining electronics fields without realistic lab and production testing. That is about to change, as Lutz Fischer, Product Manager Complementary Products, and Udo Reil, Product Manager Customer Solutions, Rohde & Schwarz explain.

The NHS is a permanent topic in the news, from strikes and concerns of A&E staff numbers, to care home neglect and the dangers of superbugs and healthcare associated infections (HCAI). To aid this, there have been some developments in robotics to alleviate the strain on healthcare professionals. Electronic Specifier’s Daisy Stapley-Bunten gets up close and personal with the new face of healthcare.

The availability of the world’s first fully certified solar powered AIS Class B small vessel and VMS tracking and identification transceiver has been announced by SRT Marine Systems.Providing performance and long term reliability, the AIS Class B Identifier is the world’s best-selling and trusted small vessel and fishing boat VMS tracking and identification transceiver.

An accurate method for spacecraft navigation takes a leap forward today as the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the University of Leicester publish a paper that reveals a spacecraft’s position in space in the direction of a particular pulsar can be calculated autonomously, using a small X-ray telescope on board the craft, to an accuracy of 2km.

A European research project led by Chalmers University of Technology has launched a set of tools that will make computer systems more energy efficient – a critical issue for modern computing. Using the framework of the project programmers has been able to provide large data streaming aggregations 54 times more energy efficient than with standard implementations.

2017 marks the 50th anniversary of the world's leading innovation event, cementing CES' place in history as the global gathering place for innovation and technology. Since its start in 1967, CES has showcased an estimated 700,000 products. These include world-changing innovations such as the VCR (1970), the DVD (1996), digital radio (2000) and Blu-ray recording standards released (2002).

CompactRadar Sensors based on highly innovative RFCMOS radar system chips from NXP Semiconductors, have been announced by HELLA, setting a benchmark in 77GHz technology. Highly robust, weatherproof radar-based systems are gaining traction as a key way to implement a wide range of safety and comfort functionalities in cars.

A partnership between Convergence Promotions and California PATH (Partners for Advanced Transportation Technology) has been entered, at the University of California, Berkeley, to advance the technologies that connect vehicles to the surrounding infrastructure and other vehicles.
