Shifting Toward Software-Defined Vehicles
By John Koon - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Apple reportedly is developing a software-defined vehicle. But so are Renault, Hyundai, General Motors, and just about everyone else. Some of the benefits of SDVs include increased comfort, convenience, safety, reliability, and remote software and firmware updates. Preventive and predictive maintenance, and remote diagnostics, can be done more conveniently over the air, while vehicle behavio... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing
By SE Staff - 16 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Automotive, mobility Automaker Toyota and Texas-based electricity distributor Oncor Electric Delivery (Oncor) are embarking on a vehicle-to-grid (V2G) pilot project to explore the feasibility of transferring energy from BEVs’ batteries back to the grid. Toyota and Oncor want to better understand the interconnectivity between BEVs and utilities. The project will start testing at Oncor’s res... » read more

Why Better Mapping Technology Is Critical To Autonomous Vehicles
By John Koon - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Autonomous cars find the way to their destination using a number of critical technologies, including some version of a global position system and a central brain to interpret that and other data. But many of those technologies are not reliable or accurate enough today, and may not be for years to come. There are numerous reports of vehicles missing their stop, or trucks being guided into all... » read more

A technical paper titled "Methodical Approach for Centralization Evaluation of Modern Automotive E/E Architectures" was published by researchers at University of Stuttgart and Daimler Truck AG. Abstract: "Centralization is considered as a key enabler to master the CPU-intensive features of the modern car. The development and architecture change towards the next generation car is influenced ... » read more

EVs Raise Energy, Power, And Thermal IC Design Challenges
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 0

The transition to electric vehicles is putting pressure on power grids to produce more energy and on vehicles to use that energy much more efficiently, creating a gargantuan set of challenges that will affect every segment of the automotive world, the infrastructure that supports it, and the chips that are required to make all of this work. From a semiconductor standpoint, improvements in th... » read more

Auto Safety Tech Adds New IC Design Challenges
By John Koon - 06 Oct, 2022 - Comments: 1

The role of AI/ML in automobiles is widening as chipmakers incorporate more intelligence into chips used in vehicles, setting the stage for much safer vehicles, fewer accidents, but much more complex electronic systems. While full autonomy is still on the distant horizon, the short-term focus involves making sure drivers are aware of what's going on around them — pedestrians, objects, or o... » read more

Synergies And Limitations Between Road Infrastructure And Automated Driving
By Technical Paper Link - 31 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

This new technical paper titled "Road Infrastructure Challenges Faced by Automated Driving: A Review" was published by researchers at Graz University of Technology (Austria), University of Zagreb (Croatia), AKKA I&S (France). Abstract "Automated driving can no longer be referred to as hype or science fiction but rather a technology that has been gradually introduced to the market. The recen... » read more

Challenges Grow For Modeling Auto Performance, Power
By Ann Mutschler - 17 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

Rising complexity in automobiles is creating huge challenges about how to add more safety and comfort features and electronics into vehicles without reducing the overall range they can travel or pricing them so high that only the rich can afford them. While the current focus is on modeling hardware and software to understand interactions between systems, this remains a huge challenge. It req... » read more

Where Are The Autonomous Cars?
By Marie C. Baca - 08 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

Are we there yet? Governments, consumers, and engineers alike want to know how close the automotive world is to producing a fully autonomous Level 5 vehicle. While some experts say such vehicles could hit the road in the next few years, they're a shrinking minority. Most forecasts say a truly self-driving car is at least a decade away — and maybe much longer, because it requires disruptive... » read more

Which Fuel Will Drive Next-Generation Autos?
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

With gasoline prices hitting uncomfortable highs, consumers increasingly are looking toward non-gasoline-powered vehicles. But what ultimately will power those vehicles is far from clear. Inside the cabin and under the hood, these vehicles will be filled with semiconductors. Yet what the energy source is for those semiconductors is the subject of ongoing debate. It could be batteries, hydrog... » read more
