Minimizing Cybersecurity Risks With ISO/SAE 21434
By Ron DiGiuseppe - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

To mitigate the cybersecurity risk, industry stakeholders have developed the new ISO/SAE 21434 Road Vehicles—Cybersecurity Engineering standard. Industry leaders are quickly adopting ISO/SAE 21434 as the leading approach for cybersecurity. Suppliers such as Renesas announced1 their commitment to ISO/SAE 21434 in October 2021. Recently, NXP2 and Texas Instruments3 both certified their Au... » read more

How Many Senses Do You Need To Drive A Car?
By Frank Schirrmeister - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

The recent AutoSens conference in Detroit left me questioning whether I should turn in my driver's license. The answer the attending OEMs gave to all the discussions about the advantages of RGB cameras, ultrasound, radar, lidar, and thermal sensors was a unanimous "We probably need all of them in some form of combination" to make autonomy a reality in automotive. Together, these sensors are muc... » read more

Developing An Unbreakable Cybersecurity System
By John Koon - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Cyberattacks are increasing in frequency and sophistication, and the impact of those attacks is increasing almost exponentially as the amount and value of data continues to grow. Cybersecurity Ventures projected the annual cost of cybercrime will grow from $8 trillion in 2023 to $210.5 trillion by 2025, with no end in sight. On the target list are a slew of industrial and commercial segments... » read more

Post-Quantum Cryptography: The Algorithms That Will Protect Data In The Quantum Era
By Bart Stevens - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

There is no doubt that quantum computers will play a significant role in helping the world solve complex challenges not possible on current classical computers. However, quantum computers also pose a serious security threat. They will eventually become powerful enough to break traditional asymmetric cryptographic methods, that is, some of the most common security protocols used to protect sensi... » read more

Security Becomes Much Bigger Issue For AI/ML Chips, Tools
By Lou Covey - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Security is becoming a bigger issue in AI and machine learning chips, in part because the chip industry is racing just to get new devices working, and in part because it's difficult to secure a new technology that is expected to adapt over time. And unlike in the past, when tools and methodologies were relatively fixed, nearly everything is in motion. Algorithms are being changed, EDA tools ... » read more

What Is Zonal Architecture? And Why Is it Upending the Automotive Supply Chain?
By Paul McLellan - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

Over the last few years, the basic architecture of how a vehicle is put together has changed a lot. This has also resulted in a change in how the automotive supply chain is put together, too. The traditional ECU-based architecture and the automobile supply chain Historically, vehicles have been put together like the picture on the left in the above diagram. Vehicles could have as many a... » read more

How Many Sensors For Autonomous Driving?
By John Koon - 01 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

With the cost of sensors ranging from $15 to $1,000, carmakers are beginning to question how many sensors are needed for vehicles to be fully autonomous at least part of the time. Those sensors are used to collect data about the surrounding environment, and they include image, lidar, radar, ultrasonic, and thermal sensors. One type of sensor is not sufficient, because each has its limitation... » read more
