Leveraging Vehicle-To-Everything Sidelink Communication For Relative Localization Of Connected Automated Vehicles 


A technical paper titled “V2X Sidelink Localization of Connected Automated Vehicles” was published by researchers at CNR-IEIIT and WiLabCNIT (Italy). Abstract: "Future automated driving relies on two pillars, (i) ultra-low-latency and reliable communications, and (ii) accurate positioning information. In particular, the knowledge of vehicle positions is becoming fundamental with the incre... » read more

Streamlining Vehicular Electrical System Design And Verification


Automobiles and other road vehicles such as trucks and buses have always been one of the most demanding applications for mechanical and electrical design. Systems must operate properly over a wide range of environmental conditions, facing extremes of temperature, humidity, sunlight, dirt, vibration and more. User expectations of reliability and availability mandate safety-critical design practi... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing


AI, machine learning Cadence says it has optimized its Tensilica HiFi digital signal processor IP to efficiently execute TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers, which are used in Google’s machine learning platform for edge. This means developers of AI/ML on the edge systems can now put better audio processing on edge devices with ML applications like keyword detection, audio scene detection, n... » read more

AiMotive Is EDA For Self-Driving Cars


The team at aiMotive, a tool and IP company for OEMs making automated vehicles, isn’t waiting for smart infrastructure or 5G to make self-driving cars possible. The four-year-old startup based in Budapest, Hungary, is taking a self-sustainable route for the foreseeable future. The key to staying in business is not to compete with Waymo, Cruise or automotive companies, but to build the softwar... » read more

AV Testing Advances Without Standards


The failure of the AV START Act in the United States Senate did more than just delay U.S. federal regulations for self-driving car technology that has yet to progress beyond the pilot-test stage. It delayed discussions that could have narrowed the almost infinite number of choices automated vehicles (AVs) must be prepared to make by creating guidelines defining what constitutes "safe" operat... » read more
