Multiple Hurdles In The Race To 6G

By John Koon - 03 Aug, 2023 - Comments: 0

The rollout of 6G will open the door to significant changes and possibilities, but whether this technology lives up to the hype will require massive collaborative efforts, huge investments in infrastructure, and solving some problems for which there are no precedents. Multiple companies are already working on 6G technology, aiming for a maximum download speed of one terabit per second (Tb/s)... » read more

The Implementation Of Cooperative Collision Avoidance For Connected Vehicles (Ohio State University)

By Technical Paper Link - 24 Jun, 2023 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled “Cooperative Collision Avoidance in a Connected Vehicle Environment” was published by researchers at Ohio State University. Abstract: "Connected vehicle (CV) technology is among the most heavily researched areas in both the academia and industry. The vehicle to vehicle (V2V), vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to pedestrian (V2P) communication capabilitie... » read more

Growing Challenges For Increasingly Connected Vehicles

By John Koon - 06 Apr, 2023 - Comments: 0

Automobiles will become increasingly connected over the next decade, but that connectivity will come at a price in terms of dollars, security, and constantly changing technology. Connectivity involves all parts of a vehicle. It includes everything from autonomous driving to in-cabin monitoring and connected infotainment. And it encompasses external sensors, IoT, V2X, over-the-air communicati... » read more

EV Architectures Evolving For Communication, Connectivity

By Marie C. Baca - 18 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Electric vehicle architectures are rapidly evolving to accommodate multiple forms of connectivity, including in-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle, and vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. But so far, automotive OEMs have yet to come to a consensus on the winning technologies or the necessary standards — all of which will be necessary as cars become increasingly autonomous and increasingly inter... » read more

Competing V2V Technologies Emerge, Create Confusion

By John Koon - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

The battle over vehicle-to-vehicle communications technology has begun, as governments step back to see which of two main competing standards and lots of related technology are best suited for reducing accidents. V2V is an often-discussed wireless communication protocol that enables vehicles to communicate with each other, easing traffic congestion, avoiding accidents, and ultimately improvi... » read more

Automotive Bandwidth Issues Grow As Data Skyrockets

By Ann Mutschler - 02 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Bandwidth requirements for future vehicles are set to explode as the amount of data moving within vehicles, between vehicles, and between vehicles and infrastructure, continues to grow rapidly. That data will be necessary for a variety of functions, some of which are here today and many of which are still in development. On the safety side, that includes everything from early warning systems... » read more

Navigating The Intersection Of Safety And Security

By Rambus - 01 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

Vehicle systems and the semiconductors used within them are some of the most complex electronics seen today. In the past, electronics going into vehicle systems implemented flat architectures with isolated functions controlling various components of the power train and vehicle dynamics. However, to support the realization of Level 4 and Level 5 (L4/L5) autonomous driving, a massive restructure ... » read more

New Challenges For Connected Vehicles

By John Koon - 11 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Connected vehicles are all about convenience and safety. Modern vehicles are connected to the Internet via wireless networks, consumer apps, and infotainment systems, and there is work underway to connect them over 5G to guided driving. But there also are challenges to making all of this work securely, safely, and as expected throughout the expected lifetimes of chips and systems. The goal i... » 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

Securing Short-Range Communications

By John Koon - 15 Dec, 2021 - Comments: 0

Short-range wireless communication technology is in widespread use and growing rapidly, adding conveniences for consumers while also opening the door to a whole range of cyberattacks. This technology is common across a variety of applications, from wireless key fobs to unlock a car and start the ignition, to tags used to help drivers find misplaced items such as car keys. RFID also is starti... » read more
