As the automotive industry advances towards higher levels of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), the complexity of vehicles is growing at an unprecedented rate. Modern vehicles are equipped with an increasing array of ADAS sensors, sophisticated algorithms, powerful processors, advanced in-vehicle networks, and millions of lines of software code. These components are crucial for processi... » read more

For SDVs, Software Is The Biggest Challenge

By John Koon - 02 Nov, 2023 - Comments: 0

Software-defined vehicles (SDVs) involve far more than just OTA applications enabling software upgrades over the air. Software that will manage hundreds of ECUs and other functions within the vehicle is expected to grow beyond hundreds of millions of lines of code, possibly making SDV software development the number one challenge in automotive design. The benefits of SDVs, such as easy updat... » read more

Going Virtual In Automotive Electronics Development

By Filip Thoen - 04 May, 2023 - Comments: 0

Developing the electrical/electronic (E/E) systems in automobiles and other vehicles has always been challenging due to the rough environmental conditions experienced on the road and the high expectations for safety and reliability. In recent years, these challenges have been exacerbated by several industry trends. They have triggered a revolution in how electronic control units (ECUs) are desi... » read more

Using Periodic Calibration Of Antennas to Ensure the Ongoing Performance Of OTA Systems

By Keysight - 23 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Seen or unseen, antennas are essential to virtually every aspect of our connected world. In any over-the-air application—communication, navigation, radar, and so on—signal quality is heavily dependent on the performance of the transmitting and receiving antennas. In addition, when testing any of today’s electronic devices for electromagnetic interference (EMI) and electromagnetic compatib... » 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 PAYGO Shake Up How We Pay for Chips?

By Bryon Moyer - 05 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

System builders are used to buying integrated circuits on a simple transactional basis — the chip has a price, and that’s what you pay. But some application spaces may have a wide variety of capabilities that need hardware support, and each feature may not be used for every instance. Traditionally, one would design different chips for different feature mixes and price points. But a new p... » read more

Changes In Auto Architectures

By Ed Sperling - 04 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Automotive architectures are changing from a driver-centric model to one where technology supplements and in some cases replaces the driver. Hans Adlkofer, senior vice president and head of the Automotive Systems Group at Infineon, looks at the different levels of automation in a vehicle, what’s involved in the shift from domain to zonal architectures, why a mix of processors will be required... » read more

SoC Verification From Pre-Fabrication To The Over-the-Air Update

By OneSpin Solutions - 30 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

The recent new of attacks on system infrastructures serves to highlight that hardware vulnerabilities in the supply chain are not only possible but inevitable if proper precautions are ignored. Verification throughout the entire supply chain is necessary to ensure the safety and security of hardware. Starting as early as the pre-fabrication stage, vulnerabilities, if left unchecked, can be an o... » read more

System-on-Chip Architecture For Autonomous Driving Systems In Electric Vehicles

By Stewart Wiliams - 03 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

English inventor Thomas Parker introduced the first production electric car in 1884. Slower speeds and shorter ranges limited the electric cars of that era. By the early-to-mid 20th century, gas-powered cars were cheaper to operate, able to travel further and faster than their electric counterparts, and quickly rose to dominance. Since the early 2000s, Tesla has been a pioneer in reviving the e... » read more
