Shifting Auto Architectures
By Ed Sperling - 29 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

Domain controllers and gateways are being replaced by central processing modules and zonal gateways to handle all of the data traffic in a vehicle. Ron DiGiuseppe, automotive IP segment manager at Synopsys, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about how automotive applications are changing, what that means for engineering teams, and how they will shift as AI is increasingly deployed. » read more

Security Concerns Rise For Connected Autos
By John Koon - 29 Apr, 2021 - Comments: 0

The auto industry is transforming itself toward a future in which the automobile increasingly will be connected using V2X and 5G. Driver assistance will improve, and ultimately cars will be guided by AI and machine learning. But all of this will be closely watched by hackers, looking for an opening and a potentially large and untraceable payout. The replacement of mechanical functionality wi... » read more

Self-Driving Cars In San Francisco
By Paul McLellan - 04 Mar, 2021 - Comments: 0

You probably have heard that Waymo has completely driverless (no safety driver) taxis serving Phoenix. 600 of them. But you can't go and buy one. Why is that? Paul Graham, the founder of the incubator Y Combinator, is celebrated for many reasons, but two things he has said have become mantra in the startup world: Build something people want. Do things that don't scale. When it comes ... » read more

A Survey of Autonomous Vehicles: Enabling Communication Technologies and Challenges
By Technical Paper Link - 28 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

Abstract "The Department of Transport in the United Kingdom recorded 25,080 motor vehicle fatalities in 2019. This situation stresses the need for an intelligent transport system (ITS) that improves road safety and security by avoiding human errors with the use of autonomous vehicles (AVs). Therefore, this survey discusses the current development of two main components of an ITS: (1) gathering... » read more

Bridging The Gap Between Smart Cities And Autonomous Vehicles
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

Smart city planners and carmakers are wrestling with similar problems and goals, but they are working at very different paces and often with different technologies — despite the fact that these two worlds will need to be bridged in order to be useful. Moving traffic optimally in urban areas is critical for reducing energy consumption and accidents, and for moving emergency vehicles through... » read more

Startup Funding: January 2021
By Jesse Allen - 03 Feb, 2021 - Comments: 0

Over $800M in funding went to companies developing autonomous driving technology, from self-driving-focused AI chips to full vehicles and aftermarket solutions. A couple electric vehicle manufacturers stood out this month, with investors putting large backing behind US-based Rivian and China-based Leapmotor. And with EVs come lots of batteries: funding went to a few startups trying out new batt... » read more

Low Power Still Leads, But Energy Emerges As Future Focus
By Ann Mutschler - 10 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 1

In 2021 and beyond, chips used in smartphones, digital appliances, and nearly all major applications will need to go on a diet. As the amount of data being generated continues to swell, more processors are being added everywhere to sift through that data to determine what's useful, what isn't, and how to distribute it. All of that uses power, and not all of it is being done as efficiently as... » read more

Edge Inference Applications And Market Segmentation
By Geoff Tate - 03 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Until recently, most AI was in data centers/cloud and most of that was training. Things are changing quickly. Projections are AI sales will grow rapidly to tens of billions of dollars by the mid 2020s, with most of the growth in edge AI inference. Data center/cloud vs. edge inference: What’s the difference? The data center/cloud is where inference started on Xeons. To gain efficiency, much ... » read more

Safeguarding Automotive Electronics
By Thierry Kouthon - 03 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Modern automobiles can have up to 100 Electronic Control Units (ECUs) depending on their class, make, and model, with the number of ECUs rising even higher in the case of electric vehicles. An ECU is an embedded system in the car’s electronics. They are used to control all the vehicle's functions, including engine, powertrain, transmission, brakes, suspension, dashboard, entertainment system ... » read more

Startup Funding: November 2020
By Jesse Allen - 02 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

Numerous chipmakers pulled in funding in November 2020, with investors putting money into interconnects, memories, AI hardware, and quantum computing. Launching from stealth was a startup aiming to combine AI and 5G. Autonomous delivery did well, too, with one company raising a massive $500M. This month, we take a look at 28 companies that raised a collective $1.1B. Semi & design Connec... » read more
