Handing data-intensive lidar and radar processing at the sensor itself can let CAN connections make autonomous vehicle networking more economical. KENT LENNARTSSON | Kvaser AB There’s no question that as the autonomous driving capabilities advance, so do the requirements for transmitting large amounts of data. A 2017 paper by Stephan Heinrich, currently a systems architect […]
Open standards for driverless cars
Why unsafe autonomous vehicle systems are passing undetected during development. Dr. Luca Castignani, MSC Software In February, McAfee exposed the alarming gap between the road test and real-world performance of autonomous vehicle sensors. In a demonstration, McAfee was able to fool a Tesla car into accelerating to 85 mph in a 35 mph zone using […]
OEM guide to ADAS development
As automotive electronics becomes more complex, the quest is on for economical ways to cover the widest possible range of requirements. Eric Pinton | Renesas Electronics In recent years, few topics have stoked the automotive industry’s collective enthusiasm like autonomous vehicles. Pushed by widely publicized breakthroughs in connected vehicle development, deep learning software, and data-driven […]
Safety and cyber security for the connected car
Even the best coding practices are likely to result in vehicles infected with 10,000 software bugs. Simulated attacks can sniff out vulnerabilities before the car hits the road. Hwee Yng Yeo, Rick Kundi | Keysight Technologies The era of the connected car, and a growing concern over cybersecurity threats, is here. Safeguarding the connected car […]
Class I & II 3×5-in supplies deliver 250 W convection/conduction cooled, 400 W peaks
The TDK-Lambda brand CUS400M ac-dc power supply series in the industry standard 3×5-in footprint. Rated at 400 W with forced air, the series can continuously deliver 250 W, with peaks of up to 400 W for 30 minutes when convection or conduction cooled. This is considerably longer than many products on the market. These power […]
3U and 6U OpenVPX power and ground backplanes speed prototyping
3U and 6U OpenVPX power and ground backplanes come in several configurations. With the SOSA/HOST efforts and move to optical and RF interfaces over OpenVPX, Pixus has developed multiple styles that allow for versatility in prototyping. The 1-slot backplanes come in VITA 65 (VPX only), VITA 66.4 (optical), and VITA 67.3 (RF) formats. The optical […]
The data-driven road to automated driving
Data replay and enrichment tools help analyze driving scenarios and verify simulations based on real-world events. Jace Allen, ADAS/AD Engineering and Business Development, dSPACE Inc. For ADAS and highly automated driving (HAD) applications, the road to homologation–the process of showing a product meets regulatory standards and specifications — is a long journey that begins and […]
More accurate positioning for autonomous vehicles
Next-generation inertial measurements will figure the where-abouts of AVs with centimeter-level precision. Reem Malik | ACEINNA Inc. Underlying any autonomous technology is the promise and necessity of superior safety. The technology in any autonomous vehicle helps it navigate the world around it; to do it safely and precisely is of utmost importance. The increasingly sophisticated […]
Cybersecurity testing in 5G automotive designs
Special instrumentation can help bullet-proof the communication equipment powering next-generation vehicles. Craig Hendricks, Anritsu Co. The roll-out of 5G is bringing a host of real-time Internet-of-Things (IoT) capabilities to automotive designs. Use cases such as enhanced Mobile Broadband (eMBB, high-data-rate use cases for 4G LTE and 5G NR services that allows a high data rate […]
Latest connected car feature: Germicidal lights
Leland Teschler, Executive editor lteschler@wtwhmedia.com On Twitter @ DW_LeeTeschler A year ago, if your cocktail party conversations had included the idea of adding germicidal lights to a connected car, you probably would have elicited facial expressions suggesting you’d lost your mind. Today, the same idea would be more likely to engender a lot of head […]
