Aftermarket Autonomous Vehicle Race Heats Up
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

It’s not just car companies that are racing to build self-driving vehicles. An entire ecosystem is sprouting up around retrofitting existing vehicles with autonomous technology, despite the fact that the technology, infrastructure, regulatory and insurance issues are still not fully formed. Uber already is using self-driving taxis, accompanied by a human driver, in Pittsburgh, Pa. And many... » read more

Plugging Holes In Machine Learning
By Ed Sperling - 19 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

The number of companies using machine learning is accelerating, but so far there are no tools to validate, verify and debug these systems. That presents a problem for the chipmakers and systems companies that increasingly rely on machine learning to optimize their technology because, at least for now, it creates the potential for errors that are extremely difficult to trace and fix. At the s... » read more

Auto Security And Technology Questions Persist
By Ann Mutschler - 01 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 1

While carmakers continue to add increasingly sophisticated driver assist features to new models, semiconductor industry ecosystem players are ramping up their foundation knowledge of what is needed from a technology and security perspective. Fortunately, it appears many existing semiconductor design tools will fit the bill as part of new approaches for automotive design. Mike Stellfox... » read more

Making Drones Secure
By John Edwards - 01 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 0

Critics have accused drones of creating multiple dangers, including invading privacy, colliding with other aircraft, threatening personal safety and even frightening livestock. Yet the biggest drone threat of all may turn out to be attacks made on the vehicles themselves. Drones, also known as UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and UASs (unmanned aerial systems), need a variety of internal ... » read more

What’s Missing From Machine Learning
By Ed Sperling - 01 Sep, 2016 - Comments: 1

Machine learning is everywhere. It's being used to optimize complex chips, balance power and performance inside of data centers, program robots, and to keep expensive electronics updated and operating. What's less obvious, though, is there are no commercially available tools to validate, verify and debug these systems once machines evolve beyond the final specification. The expectation is th... » read more
