Driverless Cars

The VA7000 MIPI A-PHY-compliant chipset, used in the company’s Satellite Radar with Centralized Processing concept shown at Autosens Detroit, is based on the connectivity standard that looks set to become the technology of choice to enable more cameras, radars, and lidars for more capable ADAS and autonomy solutions.

At AutoSens Detroit 2023, the company showed its AgeNT foils based on advanced carbon nanotube and metal micromesh hybrid technology that could enable.

The new effort builds on Mobileye’s strategy of advancing autonomy through evolution, from today’s eyes-on, hands-on driver-assist systems to SuperVision-based systems that enable hands-off operation for key use cases and eventual eyes-off, hands-off autonomy.

The software development kit for its Phoenix ADAS/AD high-performance computer, which combines its Scorpio AI processor with the Renesas R-Car V4H ASIL D support processor, gives customers the software tools to port their AI perception networks and autonomous driving functions to the platform.

The new findings may help other autonomous vehicles and systems communicate with people to improve safety.

As final testing for the eight-generation car and its all-electric version wraps up, news breaks that fine-tuning of suspension control and driver assistance systems will result in the “world-first” automation feature.

The lidar maker calls its new Vista-X90 Plus the world’s smallest adaptive long-range lidar for windshield integration designed for OEMs to enable next-generation ADAS at a target price below $500 in automotive volumes.

Arbe CEO Kobi Marenko writes about Euro NCAP’s Vision 2030 to improve automotive safety and the role of sensing technology for a future of zero fatalities from vehicle collisions.

The university is leading the 1000-MAD project that sees a Maserati MC20 Cielo retrofitted with “robo-driver” technology that will travel the entire 1000 Miglia route in June with a human co-driver in preparation for the more ambitious goal of driving the entire 2024 race in autonomous mode.

The ET25 in-cabin lidar is engineered to be placed behind the windshield, enabling car designers to overcome the limitations of most lidars on production and concept cars that have been roof-mounted and go back to sleeker designs with better aerodynamics.
