Forget the obsession with driverless autonomous cars; Energy Independent Vehicles (EIV) are the new megatrend according to the IDTechEx Research report Energy Independent Vehicles 2016-2026, which explores the latest developments in the booming energy autonomous vehicle industry.By Franco Gonzalez, Senior Technology Analyst, IDTechEx.

MTS Systems has engaged rFpro, for its latest Vehicle Driving Simulator (VDS). rFpro’s low latency and high bandwidth technology, combined with its high definition road modelling, provides the necessary engineering quality and immersion for realistic evaluation and testing, by a human driver, of ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) and vehicle dynamics. MTS’ state-of-the-art lightweight all electric simulator, combined with rFpro...

Self-driving cars are hot right now and, in addition to helping make drivers' lives easier, they can help make EVs more affordable, says Lux Research. Specifically, plug-in vehicles can save up to $1,800 in battery costs or extend driving range by 24 miles with the addition of autonomous features like self-parking.

Linear Technology Corporation introduces theLTC2937, a programmable power supply sequencer and voltage supervisor, with built-in EEPROM, for six voltage rails. The LTC2937 is designed to carefully supervise and control FPGA, ASIC and MPU POL supplies, which require tight accuracy and complex sequencing to avoid damage to the processor.

Transparent, prominent, on the pulse of time: For the first time ever, this year's productronica will depict the sectors for PCB manufacturing and Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) in the new PCB & EMS cluster in Hall B1.

Information is the basis of smart mobility. IT can support the car driver in safe, inexpensive, and sustainable driving or organise reliable exchange of information among electric mobility users, cars, charging poles, fleet operators, workshops, and service providers. KIT’s BMBF-funded ELISE project presents an electronic system that acquires data in real time and exchanges them across system borders in a standardised manner.

No other industry has undergone the scope and scale of progress and change that the electronics industry has achieved since the 1960s. Imagine life without the internet, mobile communications, PCs, tablets and printers, let alone cars without electronic safety and entertainment systems or hospitals without sophisticated diagnostic equipment.

Driven by mobile phones and automotive sectors, the Compact Camera Module (CCM) industry will be multiplied by 2.5 between 2014 and 2020, reaching a total aggregate revenue of $51bn by 2020.

Throughout 2015, the development of driverless cars has dominated technology headlines across the UK. Between the futuristic predictions of Elon Musk and the real life road tests of Google’s SDCs (Self-Driving Cars), driverless vehicles are quickly moving from a work of science fiction to a genuine commercial reality.

The first all-optical permanent on-chip memory has been developed by scientists at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and the universities of Münster, Oxford, and Exeter. This is an important step on the way towards optical computers. Phase change materials that change their optical properties depending on the arrangement of the atoms allow for the storage of several bits in a single cell.
