Software-Defined Hardware Architectures
By Brian Bailey - 31 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Hardware/software co-design has been a goal for several decades, but success has been limited. More recently, progress has been made in optimizing a processor as well as the addition of accelerators for a given software workload. While those two techniques can produce incredible gains, it is not enough. With increasing demands being placed on all types of processing, single-processor solutio... » read more

Machine Vision Plus AI/ML Adds Vast New Opportunities
By John Koon - 17 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Traditional technology companies and startups are racing to combine machine vision with AI/ML, enabling it to "see" far more than just pixel data from sensors, and opening up new opportunities across a wide swath of applications. In recent years, startups have been able to raise billions of dollars as new MV ideas come to light in markets ranging from transportation and manufacturing to heal... » read more

Designing Crash-Proof Autonomous Vehicles
By John Koon - 10 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Autonomous vehicles keep crashing into things, even though ADAS technology promises to make driving safer because machines can think and react faster than human drivers. Humans rely on seeing and hearing to assess driving conditions. When drivers detect objects in front of the vehicle, the automatic reaction is to slam on the brakes or swerve to avoid them. Quite often drivers cannot react q... » read more

How Safe Is Safe Enough?
By Frank Schirrmeister - 04 May, 2023 - Comments: 1

That was the overarching question a group of 180 experts discussed last week at the ISO 26262 & SOTIF conference for four days during #FuSaWeek2023 in Berlin. "How Safe is Safe Enough" is also the title of Prof. Koopman's book from September 2022. I mentioned him in my blog "Are We Too Hard On Artificial Intelligence For Autonomous Driving?" Prof. Koopman was referenced often in Berlin, and... » read more

Automotive Safety Island
By Siemens EDA - 03 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

The promise of autonomous vehicles is driving profound changes in the design and testing of automotive semiconductor parts. Automotive ICs, once deployed for simple functions like controlling windows, are now performing complex functions related to advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving applications. The processing power required results in very large and complex ICs that ... » read more

Autonomous Driving: End-to-End Surround 3D Camera Perception System (NVIDIA)
By Technical Paper Link - 10 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "NVAutoNet: Fast and Accurate 360∘ 3D Visual Perception For Self Driving" was published by researchers at NVIDIA. Abstract "Robust real-time perception of 3D world is essential to the autonomous vehicle. We introduce an end-to-end surround camera perception system for self-driving. Our perception system is a novel multi-task, multi-camera network which takes a... » read more

Auto Cyberattacks Becoming More Widespread
By John Koon - 02 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

As vehicles become smarter, more complex, and increasingly connected, they also become more prone to cyberattacks. The challenge now is to keep pace with hackers, who are continually devising new and innovative ways to attack both software and hardware in vehicles. Recent statistics bear this out. In 2022, there was a big spike in deep/dark web activity and incidents related to application p... » read more

Building Better Cars Faster
By John Koon - 02 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Carmakers are accelerating their chip and electronic design schedules to remain competitive in an increasingly fast-changing market, but they are encountering gaps in the tooling, the supply chain, and in the methodologies they use to create those cars. While it's easy to envision how CAD software could be used to create the next new vehicle’s 3-D look, and how simulation software helps de... » read more
