A Georgia Institute of Technology research team has devised a novel way to help keep a driverless vehicle under control as it maneuvers at the edge of its handling limits. The approach could help make self-driving cars of the future safer under hazardous road conditions. Researchers from Georgia Tech's Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering (AE) and the School of Interactive Computing (IC) have assessed the technology by racing, slidin...

Sundance Multiprocessor Technology Ltd., an established supplier and manufacturer of embedded modules, has announced that it has integrated Xilinx’s smallest Kintex UltraScale FPGA with its EMC2-family of embedded boards for the “OneBank” PC/104-compatible format.

Volvo Cars is to begin the UK's most ambitious autonomous driving trial next year to speed up the introduction of a technology that promises to massively reduce car accidents as well as free up congested roads and save drivers valuable time. The Swedish company, whose name has been synonymous with automotive safety ever since it invented the three-point seatbelt in 1959, is pioneering the development of Autonomous Driving (AD) systems globally as...

A recently published report from Yole Développement, titled, ‘Automotive Lighting: Technology, Industry and Market trends’, has shown that automotive lighting industry growth is driven by the introduction of disruptive technologies and consumer behaviour changes.

Philippa Oldham, Head of Transport and Manufacturing at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, said in response to today’s Queen’s speech:

DURA Automotive Systems has selected the Green Hills Platform for ADAS, featuring the safe and secure INTEGRITY RTOS, to power its Highly Automated Driving control system. The control system integrates vision, vehicle and range-based sensor data while safely and securely instructing crucial systems for brakes, steering and powertrain.

STMicroelectronics and Israel-based Autotalks, a V2X-chipset market pioneer and leader in the first wave of V2X deployments, have announced their fusion of GNSS technology and V2X ranging. The "V2X-Enhanced GNSS" ensures authenticated and secure vehicle localisation for extreme accuracy and reliability of positioning information, especially in urban canyons, tunnels, and parking structures, where accurate absolute and relative positioning-to othe...

At NXP Semiconductor’s annual user conference, NXP FTF 2016, the company is showcasing new solutions to help engineers and developers create secure, smart, connected experiences. A key theme for the event is the future smart city, which presents a complex, multi-vertical opportunity for the IoT that crosses public and private sectors.

The ingenuity of four space engineers has created a zero-emission air-conditioning system that doesn't pollute our atmosphere when we turn it on.Air conditioning for offices, factories, shopping centres and homes has long been recognised as a large contributor to carbon dioxide emissions, and boosting its efficiency would help to combat climate change.

Students from Haute Ecole ARC Ingénierie, Switzerland won the Grand Final of the NXP Cup EMEA Challenge 2016.
