The rise of semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles
While considered science fiction a decade earlier, semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicle technologies are evolving rapidly. The prospect of autonomous driving seemed to be impossible and futuristic. The idea of autonomous vehicles is not new and traces back to the times of Leonardo Da Vinci who first sketched a three-wheeled driverless cart in 1478. Tesla’s autopilot was introduced in 2015 with driver assistance systems, which marked the i...
What is the driving force in the automotive sensors market?
Sensors are crucial components of automotive electronic control systems, as modern automobiles rely on electronic systems to meet emission and safety standards. Sensors are the devices that convert physical quantities such as acceleration, temperature, speed, or pressure into electrical signals that serve as inputs for control systems.

Infrared laser to be at the heart of the industry in coming years
Manufacturers are looking for new opportunities to increase their revenues and margins. In this context, the IR LED market is perceived as a potential new ‘blue ocean’ with attractive opportunities for those players.
REG Power Management lift construction safety standards
REG Power Management (RPM) is deploying ZephIR Lidar systems to achieve the highest levels of safety within their wind farm constructions projects. The device measures wind speed and direction from 10-200m to advise and assist with the planned and ongoing construction activities at a site.
Collaboration accelerates development of automotive applications
In order to port the AUTOSAR-compliant TOPPERS ATK2-SC1 (Toyohashi OPen Platform for Embedded Real-time Systems Automotive Kernel version-2 Scalability Class 1) to Cadence Tensilica processors and DSPs, Cadence Design Systems has collaborated with the embedded real time System Laboratory of Nagoya University. Nagoya University and Cadence jointly ported the ATK2-SC1 to the Tensilica processor platform, validating that it functions correctly and o...
Report forecasts EV technology between 2017-2027
The biggest change in cars for one hundred years is now starting. It is driven by totally new requirements and capabilities. They will cause huge new businesses to appear but some giants currently making cars and their parts will spectacularly go bankrupt. Cities will ban private cars but encourage cars as autonomous taxis and rental vehicles. Already 65% of cars in China are bought by businesses. Electric car technology and forecasts 2017-2027 ...
Solution provides effective wind measurements in complex terrain
In order to produce a packaged 'white box' solution, where the different stages of processing are clearly visible to the user, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) provider Meteodyn has collaborated with wind lidar company ZephIR Lidar. This addresses the challenge of taking lidar wind measurements in complex terrain. Data from lidars are now widely considered as being bankable for use in wind resource assessment campaigns.
