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 ...
To better comprehend how safe self-driving cars are, it's necessary to first understand how they function, as well as what kind of sensors autonomous vehicles use to determine where they should travel and recognize things on the road in order to avoid automobile accidents. Data collected by ...
“In other words, AI can optimize and reduce the heavy toll that autonomous driving will have on the network infrastructure. We expect OEMs to build autonomous vehicles using software-defined vehicle architectures, where ECUs are virtualized and are updated over the air. Digital twin technologies ...
Learn about key types of ADAS sensors used in today's autonomous vehicles. What are lidar, radar, sonar, cameras, and GNSS sensors? Read the entire guide.
This annual update to TechInsights Autonomous Vehicles and Sensors Market Scenarios sees a boost for the expected penetration of L3 vehicles, but a small delay to the predicted adoption of fully autonomous L4 solutions. This report explains the assumptions behind the various scenarios out to 2050 ...
“Technological progress in the field of autonomous driving is impressive – but the solutions offered to date are simply not visually appealing,” explains Jan Henning Mehlfeldt, responsible for the global roof business at Webasto. “We have leveraged our decades ...
“Sensors in Automotive: Making Cars See and Think Ahead” also provides ample information on where autopilot stands today. Another crucial question relates to the future of fully-autonomous vehicles, and here, Nitin Dahad uses facts and figures available from industry sources to find out that lev...
The transition of autonomous vehicles into fleets requires an advanced control system design that relies on continuous feedback from the tires. Smart tires enable continuous monitoring of dynamic parameters by combining strain sensing with traditional tire functions. Here, we provide breakthrough in this...
In this paper, we present control laws for an autonomous vehicle with rigidly mounted range sensors to track a boundary curve. In particular, we consider a vehicle that has a group of rays close to one center ray that has an arbitrary fixed angle to the heading of the vehicle. To achieve...
Inertial Sensors Enabled Autonomous Vehicles Inertial sensors keeping a car safe (click to enlarge) In the late 80s, one of the first MEMS in cars was a pressure sensor for engine control applications. The manifold absolute pressure sensor (MAP) sent data to the electronic system, which could...
