Progress And Chaos On Road To Autonomy
By Jeff Dorsch - 03 Jun, 2018 - Comments: 1

Progress in the development of fully autonomous vehicles is incremental and slow, but not for lack of effort. Research and development in self-driving cars is under way all around the globe, from the biggest automotive manufacturers and their Tier 1 suppliers to companies not traditionally involved in the automotive industry. Add to that fleets of startups working on sensor technologies and ... » read more

Committing To Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Apr, 2018 - Comments: 0

The autonomous driving effort has hit some painful speedbumps lately, with Tesla and Uber feeling the brunt of these. Unfortunately, the recent fatal accidents demonstrate just how challenging it is to get this technology right, and why some in this space have downshifted their efforts to learn from what happened and how to prevent it going forward. This prompted Nvidia to suspend its effort... » read more

Advanced driver-assistance systems are gaining in complexity and scope, representing steps toward automated driving. At CES 2018, ... » read more

Auto Chip Test Issues Grow
By Jeff Dorsch - 08 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

By Jeff Dorsch & Ed Sperling Semiconductor suppliers are flocking to the automotive chip market to gain share in fitting out the connected car and the autonomous vehicle. But before those chips are sold to automotive manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers, they must be tested and certified to meet stringent industry standards. This is no ordinary testing, though. Assisted and autonomous v... » read more

Get Ready For The Uber-Like Economy
By Ed Sperling - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 1

The shift to autonomous cars will have far-reaching effects that go well beyond the loss of a steering wheel. In fact, it could completely shake up the automotive ecosystem and broad swaths of the economy that were largely built around and in cars. Carmakers are now trying squeeze every penny out of the cost of electronics for assisted and ultimately autonomous vehicles to get that price som... » read more

Functional Safety Issues Rising
By Ed Sperling - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Developing semiconductors for safety-critical markets such as automotive, industrial and medical involves a growing list of extra steps that need to be taken pre- and post-manufacturing to ensure product integrity, reliability and security. This is causing several significant changes: • Designs are becoming much more complicated because they require such features as failover and redundan... » read more

The Year Of Autonomous Cars
By Ed Sperling - 03 Aug, 2017 - Comments: 2

The move to fully autonomous vehicles is supposed to happen in 2021. Some carmakers say they will be ready by 2020. But a growing number of engineers and scientists who develop technology for this market don't believe those dates are realistic. Dozens of interviews conducted over the past several months point to a likely rollout of fully autonomous vehicles—steering wheel optional—somewh... » read more
