Automotive processors enable safer driving experience
Extending its leadership in the automotive market, Texas Instruments (TI) has announced more than 150 million of its advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and digital cockpit Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) are on the road today, in more than 35 OEMs. Leveraging 35 years of automotive experience and billions of analogue and embedded processing solutions shipped to automotive manufacturers worldwide, TI created both the TDA and “Jacinto” fa...
External cavity laser suitable for optical sensing
The PLANEX 1064nm narrow linewidth external cavity laser has been offered byLASER COMPONENTS. The design is based on RIO’s proprietary planar technology and consists of a gain chip and a planar lightwave circuit including waveguides with Bragg gratings, forming a laser cavity.
Perception system ensures safety of autonomous cars
SIGMA FUSION, Leti’s low-cost solution for autonomous cars, transforms the myriad of incoming distance data into clear information about the driving environment. This efficient perception system, which Leti will demonstrate at CES 2017, combines, merges and feeds exhaustive data to an autonomous car's autopilot, providing all it needs to guarantee safe driving.
Why self-driving cars could soon be much more affordable
People were understandably sceptical when George Hotz, an artificial intelligence software developer and renowned hacker, announced the $999 Comma One kit, which promised to convert normal cars into semi-autonomous ones. OK, so the kit had its limitations, which Hotz’s company was at pains to point out. It would still have needed the driver to pay close attention at all times.
It’s all about the image – the tech that’s transforming the automotive industry
New research from Yole Développement (Yole) has indicated that imaging technology is playing an increasing integral role within the automotive sector, contributing to an estimated 20% CAGR (compound annual growth rate), between 2015 and 2021.

Circuit Seed’s sensory seed for critical speed and accuracy
Greg Waite, CEO of InventionShare, announced during the LA Auto Show at the LA Convention Center that the injection of Circuit Seed’s, Sensory Seed multipurpose sensor systems integrated on a single chip combined into current automotive sensor applications can improve critical speed and accuracy to provide the world’s best automotive collision, detection and avoidance technologies for driver-assist and autonomous vehicles.
Athermal NIR narrow bandpass filters
Narrow band NIR filters that remain stable spectrally over a wide range of temperatures are essential for a multitude of applications, especially laser communication and LIDAR. This is why Laser Components is proud to be able to supply our latest 4-cavity Fabry-Perot narrowband filters. These have high thermal stability between -60°C and +80°C due to being fabricated from hard oxide materials and matched to their substrate.
