3D LiDAR Delivers Automotive Solutions One of the hot technologies at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show is 3D LiDAR, which will be critical to the success of autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles. Automotive technology continues to be a hot topic at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. 3D LiDAR is prominent, as it is a key sensor component for advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and self-driving cars. Two things are driving improvements in 3D LiDAR. The first is improved emitters, since LiDAR... [Lire la suite]

HOW ADVANCED DRIVER ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS (ADAS) WILL IMPACT FLEETS ADAS are already having a huge impact on the fleet industry, not just from a driver safety aspect, but from a vehicle maintenance standpoint too. Core functionalities include adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), crash collision mitigation and blind spot monitoring. There are plenty more that could be included, and each has been designed to improve driver safety. For example, AEB has been cited as reducing real-world crashes by 38%. The... [Lire la suite]

Driver assistance: Coming revolution   The three major trends of electrification, connectivity and autonomy all have software in common, according to Thomas Gage and Jonathan Morris from Marconi Pacific   We are on the threshold of a radical change in vehicle technology. No, it’s not automation, although that will come very soon. Instead, change is being driven by the underlying technology for automation that is already here and advancing rapidly; that is, crash avoidance technology delivered by advanced driver...

RANKED: The 18 companies most likely to get self-driving cars on the road first Lyft announced Wednesday that it will team up with Ford on self-driving cars, the latest addition to a growing list of partners. The news shows how rapidly the self-driving-car space is shaping up. With so many players in the space, companies are exploring new tactics to get their product to market first. We decided to take a step back and see where each company stands in the race to make robot cars a reality. Navigant Research assessed all... [Lire la suite]

The foundational system challenges of the connected car What, precisely, is a ‘connected car’? Essentially, it can be defined as anything related to infotainment, telematics, ADAS, autonomous driving, cyber security, OTA, eHorizon, car2X, Cloud, and back-end. At the component level, the technology and software for the connected car and, specifically, for ADAS and autonomous driving, is becoming increasingly sophisticated and robust. But engineers working on algorithms and sensor fusion software still have plenty of work to do before... [Lire la suite]
