Combining Silicon Data Capture And Edge Processing Offers A Promising Solution For Automotive OEMs


By Lorin Kennedy and Jasmin Mulaosmanovic In the world of electric (EV) and software-defined vehicles (SDV), a key challenge and opportunity besets original equipment manufacturers (OEM): that of effectively harnessing in-vehicle and silicon data to improve user experience and quite literally drive business benefits. While collecting telemetry data is straightforward enough, the difficulty l... » read more

Photonics Could Reduce The Cost Of Lidar


Using light to move data over shorter distances is becoming more common, both because there is much more data to move around and because photons are faster and cooler than electrons. Using optical fiber for mission-critical communication is already well established. It has been the preferred PHY for long-haul communications for decades because it doesn’t suffer from the attenuation losses ... » read more
