Standards And Threat Testing For Secure Autonomous Vehicles
By Lee Harrison - 07 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Modern vehicles continue to move up through the levels of autonomy, as defined by The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). These definitions have been widely adopted across the industry and emerging vehicle technology is measured against this scale (figure 1). Fig. 1: An illustration from the Society for Automotive Engineers shows levels of autonomy. The closer we move towards level... » read more

Data Security Challenges In Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 1

Automakers are scrambling to prevent security breaches and data hacks in new vehicles while simultaneously adding new and increasingly autonomous features into vehicles that can open the door to new vulnerabilities. These two goals are often at odds. As with security in any complex system, nothing is ever completely secure. But even getting a handle on this multilayered issue is a challenge.... » read more

Will Steering Wheels Ever Disappear?
By Bryon Moyer - 19 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 3

Autonomous vehicles are touted as the way of the future, and the general assumption is ultimately everything will be autonomous. But there are broad segments of the market where autonomy is unlikely to happen. There is no question that autonomy is possible. In fact, within certain bounds it's already here. Robo-taxis are available in some cities. Mercedes, Tesla, and Lexus are all touting so... » read more

Choose The Right Sensors For Autonomous Vehicles
By Kara Gremillion - 09 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

When the world’s first “motorwagen” was introduced in 1885, the notion that a car would one day drive itself was laughable. Today, assisted and autonomous vehicles are the reality of an age where digital sensors can outperform human ability to perceive motion, distance, and speed. When used together, sensor technologies including camera, lidar, radar, and ultrasonic give vehicles one... » read more

Securing Connected And Autonomous Vehicles
By Andy Gothard - 02 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Vehicles are on track to become highly sophisticated Internet of Things (IoT) devices. With the added functionality that connects vehicles to other vehicles, the infrastructure, and even pedestrians, the opportunity for hacking expands. Challenges like complexity and the burden of legacy systems further complicate the situation. The future of connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) demands leve... » read more

Meeting Processor Performance And Safety Requirements For New ADAS & Autonomous Vehicle Systems
By Fergus Casey - 02 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 1

By Fergus Casey and Srini Krishnaswami Innovation in today’s automotive industry is accelerating as companies race to be the market leader in safety and autonomous vehicles. With vehicle control moving from humans to the vehicles’ active safety systems, more sensors – cameras, radar, lidar, etc. – are being added to automotive systems. More sensors require more computational performa... » read more

Functional Safety Across Analog And Digital Domains
By Frank Schirrmeister - 28 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 1

The autonomy of vehicles has been all the rage recently. There are different levels of autonomous driving, with level 5 “Full Automation” being the target the industry is working towards, and Level 2 “Partial Automation” and Level 3 “Conditional Automation” being the level at which the automotive sector currently delivers the most technology. The amount of electronics in cars has be... » read more

How Verification And Validation Can Create A Comprehensive Digital Twin To Design Tomorrow’s Self-Driving Cars Today
By Shakeel Jeeawoody - 07 Oct, 2021 - Comments: 0

By Shakeel Jeeawoody and Hieu Tran Autonomous vehicles (AV) are the future of driving – and the future might not be so far away. Optimizing the capabilities of self-driving vehicles and the environment around them could lead to a mad dash to the financial finish line for manufacturers. Who takes the checkered flag will ultimately be determined by the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of th... » read more

Long-Haul Trucking With Fewer Drivers
By Ann Mutschler - 13 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 1

The trucking industry is betting heavily on increasing levels of autonomy and electrification to reduce the cost of moving goods and to overcome persistent problems. The economics of autonomous driving are compelling, not least of which is an almost perpetual shortage of qualified drivers. But there also are a number of technical hurdles to making this work. On top of the challenges facing t... » read more

Multistep staircase avalanche photodiodes with extremely low noise & deterministic amplification (lidar)
By Technical Paper Link - 27 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

Engineers at University of Texas at Austin and University of Virginia developed a light detector that can amplify weak light signals and reduce noise to improve the accuracy of lidar. Find technical paper here. Abstract "In 1982, Capasso and co-workers proposed the solid-state analogue of the photomultiplier tube, termed the staircase avalanche photodiode. Through a combination of co... » read more
