Will autonomous driving shape the future of the mobility sector?
Autonomous driving is shifting the existing automotive supply chain from the traditional system of OEMs and suppliers to a collaborative ecosystem comprising OEMs, mobility service providers, software and hardware solution providers, and infrastructure providers. We have recently seen competitors joining hands and forming some unlikely-sounding alliances to reduce the cost of autonomous driving development, as well as to share resources and capab...
Collaboration on future sensor fusion hardware platforms
ON Semiconductor and AImotive, have jointly announced that they will work together to develop prototype sensor fusion platforms for automotive applications. The collaboration will help customers explore highly integrated solutions for future generations of sensor data conditioning hardware platforms.
eGan FET wins AEC Q101 qualification
EPC has been achieved successful AEC Q101 qualification of its 15V EPC2216 eGaN FET. It is designed for lidar applications where increased accuracy is vital such as in self-driving cars and other time-of-flight (TOF) applications including facial recognition, warehouse automation, drones and mapping.
What is next for connected and smart vehicles?
As the automotive industry continuously grows, so do the companies and consumers within it. Having recently attended the AutoSens show in Belgium, the European automotive sensor conference, it was interesting to see what is happening in this space, and all the innovation that is yet to come when it comes to the automotive sector.Being home to some of the most advanced minds when it comes to vehicle perception, ADAS and autonomous vehicles AutoSen...
Battles of the senses
Steve Rogerson reports from last month’s AutoSens conference in Brussels on the progress towards autonomous vehicles.The goal is clear. Autonomous or self-driving cars will be on our roads, and in the not-too-distant future. That will happen despite the route to achieving this still being littered with hurdles, one of these being finding the right balance between the different types of sensors and combining the information from them into so...
Fully integrated embedded vision driver-assistance system
Swedish startup Retenua has developed the first fully integrated advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) for detecting people around industrial vehicles and forklifts, basing it on a Vision Components embedded camera. This is also the first system trained to detect reflective workwear and using an NIR flash.
