Driverless Cars

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.

The new collaboration will help Oxbotica simulate and test its autonomous vehicle operating system.

AIs trained to become horrible drivers can greatly slash costs of AV safety validation, according to researchers at University of Michigan, who are developing a new system that could help reduce the number of miles needed for testing by 99.99%.

Recent deals with AVES Reality and B-Design3D, along with higher-performance Sensor Simulation (SensorSim) PC HPP, enable better sensor and algorithm validation in simulated real-world environments to extend the company’s Aurelion offering and get AVs on the road faster.

Manju Hegde of the Austin, TX-based radar startup explained to IAV the tech behind the first fully automotive qualified, 4D digital imaging radar-on-chip used in Magna’s Icon Digital Radar that to power the Intelligent Pilot ADAS on the Fisker Ocean electric SUV that debuted late last year.
