Software-Defined Vehicles: The Automotive Revolution With Silicon At Its Heart

By Ben Gu - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

The automotive sector is undergoing immense change. The retirement of the internal combustion engine (ICE) in favor of electrified powertrains and a shift towards autonomy has provided carmakers the opportunity to reimagine and redefine the entire automotive experience: how a car looks, works, and behaves, from the tires up. But such change isn’t easy. An industry founded on the manufactur... » read more

Physics-Based Radar Modeling: Driving Toward Increased Safety

By Ansys - 07 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Autonomous driving is revolutionizing the global automotive industry. With every new model, cars are smarter and more capable of independently responding to external signals like lane markings, road signs, other cars and pedestrians. However, formulating a correct response via artificial intelligence depends on the flawless performance of the car’s perception systems, including radar-ba... » read more

Are We Too Hard On Artificial Intelligence For Autonomous Driving?

By Frank Schirrmeister - 03 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 1

I recently attended and presented at Detroit's "Implementation of ISO 26262 & SOTIF" conference. Its subtitle was "Taking an Integrated Approach to Automotive Safety." After three days, my head was spinning with numbers of ISO/SAE and other standards. And at the end of day two, after yet another example that tricked autonomous driving prototypes into behaving wrongly, I sighed and asked whe... » read more

Driver Monitoring Raises Complexity, Adds Privacy Concerns

By Marie C. Baca - 01 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

While you watch the road, your car may be watching you back. The automotive industry’s transition toward self-driving technology means cars increasingly are equipped with features that measure driver alertness and engagement, among many other data points. Executives say such features save lives and spur innovation, while simultaneously raising significant technical, legal, and ethical questio... » read more

Automotive Bandwidth Issues Grow As Data Skyrockets

By Ann Mutschler - 02 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Bandwidth requirements for future vehicles are set to explode as the amount of data moving within vehicles, between vehicles, and between vehicles and infrastructure, continues to grow rapidly. That data will be necessary for a variety of functions, some of which are here today and many of which are still in development. On the safety side, that includes everything from early warning systems... » read more

Evolving Your ADAS And AV Tests With Emulation Capability

By Keysight - 25 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Creating safe and robust autonomous driving (AD) systems is a complex task. Autonomous vehicles (AVs) have hundreds of sensors, all of which need to work with one another inside the car and with other smart vehicles. The software algorithms enabling autonomous driving features will ultimately need to synthesize all the information collected from these sensors to ensure that the vehicle responds... » read more
