Duo to open new research lab for autonomous driving
TomTomand the University of Amsterdam (UvA) has announced the launch of a new public-private research lab.Atlas Labwill focus on using AI for developing advanced, highly accurate and safe high definition maps for self-driving vehicles. The lab is part of ICAI, the national Innovation Centre for AI, based in the Amsterdam Science Park.
AWGs deliver output swings up to 24V
Six Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) have been added to its recently released M2p.65 xx series of PCIe cards by Spectrum Instrumentation. The new AWGs extend the product families capabilities by boosting the available output range, so that waveforms can be generated with amplitude swings of up to ±12V into 1MΩ or ±6V into 50Ω.
Go-ahead for GaN
It’s getting harder to avoid using GaN power transistors and ICs, says Alex Lidow, Efficient Power Conversion
Series configured with a silicon or InGaAs APD
The characteristics of an APD are often restricted by the transimpedance amplifier which needs to be chosen in such a way that the S/N ratio is optimised. LASER COMPONENTS can offer its customers a complete solution with the preamplifier matched to the APD.
OMRON Automotive becomes part of the Nidec Group
OMRON Automotive Electronics has become part of the Nidec group under the new name Nidec Mobility. Moving forward, the company will work closely with Nidec’s automotive motor business unit to develop new modules and systems that combine the motors, pumps and gears of the Nidec group with the electronic control units, and other electronic components, of Nidec Mobility.
Demand for ‘portable’ devices driving GaN innovation
In terms of revenue, the global GaN substrate market is estimated to expand at a CAGR of ~10% during the forecast period, owing to numerous factors, regarding which, Study offers thorough insights in its report on the global GaN substrate market.
Software for automotive design - the questions and answers
Chuck Gehman, Perforce Software, explains the integral role that software will have in the cars of tomorrow.Automotive software is being developed at an unprecedented scale. Future vehicles will have more than a billion lines of code. With an estimated 50% of a future vehicle’s value being derived from its software capabilities, development of that software plays a more crucial role than ever before.
The top technology trends in power for 2020
For the past several decades, the subject of ‘power’ has been consistently viewed as a challenge focused primarily on the incremental improvement - be that by technology, by government regulations, or by shifting consumer behaviour. Much attention has been paid to how the energy we use is generated, and rightly so. Energy production is one of the world’s largest sources of carbon emissions.
Duo deliver safety to European roads with new car technology
NXP Semiconductors has announced the rollout of its life-saving RoadLINK V2X communication solution in the new Volkswagen Golf. The recently released Golf of the 8th generation is the first volume European car model equipped with V2X, offering a major boost to the deployment of the technology on European roads and beyond. The technology can prevent accidents by having cars communicate with each other, independent of car brands and without the sup...
Autonomous driving: peak car to arrive as early as 2031?
Autonomous driving technologies are disrupting the business models for the traditional auto industry. In the past decade, we have seen tech giants like Google and Baidu, as well as mobility service companies such as Uber and Didi joining the race with car companies to shape the future mobility system. Autonomous mobility can become a $1.4tn market by 2040 in terms of car sales.
