A technical paper titled “Slow Down, Move Over: A Case Study in Formal Verification, Refinement, and Testing of the Responsibility-Sensitive Safety Model for Self-Driving Cars” was published by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University. Abstract: "Technology advances give us the hope of driving without human error, reducing vehicle emissions and simplifying an everyday task with the futur... » 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

Design Challenges And Opportunities For Electric Powertrain With Vehicle Autonomy
By Siemens EDA - 01 Mar, 2023 - Comments: 0

According to recent studies, nearly 25% of all miles driven in the United States could be shared autonomous electrical vehicles (SAEVs) by 2030. Electric powertrain is indispensable for autonomous vehicles as it offers a) higher fuel efficiency and reduced CO2 emissions, b) an easier platform to support drive-by-wire systems needed for vehicle autonomy, and c) as battery prices keep dropping sh... » read more

Simulating Reality: The Importance Of Synthetic Data In AI/ML Systems For Radar Applications
By Arien Sligar - 09 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) are driving the development of next-generation radar perception. However, these AI/ML-based perception models require enough data to learn patterns and relationships to make accurate predictions on new, unseen data and scenarios. In the field of radar applications, the data used to train these models is often collected from real-world meas... » read more
