Enabling Self-Driving Cars
By Ann Mutschler - 09 Mar, 2016 - Comments: 1

To enable truly self-driving cars — the ones without a gearshift or a steering wheel — there must be a confluence of technologies, a refinement of the business models, regulatory and safety requirements, and insurance concerns. So how close is the automotive ecosystem to reaching the goal of truly autonomous driving? That depends on your vantage point. As far as where automakers are t... » read more

Neuromorphic Chip Biz Heats Up
By Mark LaPedus - 21 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 0

It’s no secret that today’s computers are struggling to keep up with the enormous demands of data processing and bandwidth, and the whole electronics industry is searching for new ways to enable that. The traditional approach is to continue to push the limits of today’s systems and chips. Another way is to go down the non-traditional route, including an old idea that is generating stea... » read more

Faster Battery Charging
By Ernest Worthman - 07 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 1

There are entire libraries of available information on batteries and battery technology. The reason is the technology is hundreds of years old, and it hasn't fundamentally changed since Alessandro Volta cooked up the first practical battery in 1791. While there have been significant improvements in batteries since then, they haven't come close to keeping up with advancements in electronics t... » read more

Smarter Cities
By Ernest Worthman - 06 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 0

One of the benefits touted by IoE proponents is that smart cities will improve the quality of life and make cities more “livable.” The concept is appealing, and if it comes to pass as visionaries hope, the smart city of the future will be a virtual cornucopia of convenience and efficiency. Residents and vistors will never be lost with the proliferation of location technologies, which als... » read more

What Is ‘Digital’?
By Brian Bailey - 27 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 1

When I read the first line I was very surprised and somewhat confused. Ved Sen, the author said that, “Despite working in the digital space for years, now I was quite stumped a few weeks ago when I was asked to define it.” Why would digital be so d... » read more

Move Over AI, Here Comes AmI
By Ernest Worthman - 10 Nov, 2014 - Comments: 0

Artificial Intelligence has received lots of attention, but a new term called Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is emerging as a cornerstone of the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"]. The term is a relatively unknown, but not all that new. AmI dates back 16 years—just a few years after the Internet saw its first widespread commercial adoption—when the concept first emerged as a collec... » read more
