How will radar sensor technology shape the cars of the future?
In its latest technology and market report,Radar technologies for automotive 2018,Yole Développement (Yole) made the following comment: “Driven by emerging applications in ADAS and well positioned for autonomous cars, radar technology is evolving very fast.” According to Yole’s RF Electronics team, the radar chip market is showing a 22.9% CAGR in value between 2016 and 2022.
Renesas hits the accelerator on autonomous and cockpit development
Renesas has announced the next-gen of its Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), automated driving, and connected cockpit demonstration vehicles. From sensor fusion to ADAS to connected cockpits, the three Renesas vehicles demonstrate fully integrated systems based on advanced, production-ready technologies that enable OEMs and Tier 1s to solve the complex challenges of autonomous vehicle design as the industry shifts from test and simulation...
Depth sensors could be sensitive enough for self-driving cars
For the past 10 years, the Camera Culture group at MIT’s Media Lab has been developing innovative imaging systems — from a camera that can see around corners to one that can read text in closed books — by using 'time of flight,' an approach that gauges distance by measuring the time it takes light projected into a scene to bounce back to a sensor.
Driverless cars coming to a city near you in 2019
There's a reason there are consumer autonomous systems already being rolled out for highway driving without an equivalent for city driving. Cars on a highway behave rationally for the most part, which makes it easier for the artificial intelligence that controls an autonomous system to operate since it is programmed logically.

On the road to autonomous vehicles
The automotive sector has reached a tipping point. As it approaches SAE Level 3 – partial autonomy - cars are transitioning from being human to self-driven. In a recent webinar, David Somo (pictured), Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy & Marketing, ON Semiconductor, discussed the challenges facing the autonomous car industry.
Autonomous driving technology expo debuts in Tokyo
Japan’s largest trade show organiser,Reed Exhibitions, will launch '1st Autonomous Driving Technology Expo' inside AUTOMOTIVE WORLD 2018. Autonomous driving is one of the hottest topics in the world. In Japan, car makers are working hard to put it to practical use before 2020 when the Olympics and Paralympics will be held in Tokyo. Visit the show to discover the forefront of autonomous driving technologies.
Imaging co-processor accelerates development of self-drive cars
A key innovation that will help the rapid development of autonomous cars has been announced by EnSilica. Its eSi-ADAS RADAR Imaging Co-processor will accelerate the commercialisation of autonomous vehicles by solving the current problem of RADAR data overload and resolution by handling this in a dedicated co-processor to enable tracking of potentially hundreds of objects to be made in real time.
Tech industry reacts to this month's budget speech
Yesterday, in the Chancellor's budget speech, Philip Hammond announced the forecast for the future of Britain with a£500m investment in a range ofinitiatives from artificial intelligence, to 5G and full fibre broadband.
LiDAR sensor enables 3D detection of distances
A 3D LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor equipment that measures distance between the equipment and the object from the round-trip travelling time of the pulse laser that is projected to the object has been developed by Panasonic. The sensor accurately measures the direction of and distance to objects with a wide angle of view, which is critical for autonomous operation of mobile robots.
The many faces of autonomy
Autonomous systems conjure up a future filled with self-driving cars, humanoid robots, and buzzing drones bearing packages from Amazon. The underlying technology continues to mature at a rapid pace, and in doing so is pulling designers in hundreds of new directions. In fact, the sheer number and variety of design options raises an interesting question: what does 'autonomy' actually mean to us? ByJim Tung, MathWorks Fellow
