At CES 2017, Cason Grover, Senior Group Manager, Vehicle Technology Planning for Hyundai Motor America explains the new driver interfaces in Hyundai’s autonomous vehicle. Since the vehicle will drive itself when it is in the autonomous mode, the displays are intended to make the person in the driver’s seat and passengers comfortable and trust that […]
RADAR/LiDAR
Where are the autonomous vehicle sensors?
At CES 2017, Cason Grover, Sr. Group Manager, Vehicle Technology Planning from Hyundai Motor America explains the vision and range sensors in Hyundai’s Autonomous Ioniq. The vehicle has one forward facing long range radar and three LiDAR units at the front and four cameras mounted inside at the top of windshield. Radar units at the […]
MEMS-Based Laser Scanner Achieves 250 Meter Target Range at 0.1° Resolution
Extending automatic driver assistance systems (ADAS) to a broad range of vehicles, beyond high-end luxury vehicles, requires considerable cost reduction. By achieving single shot detection of up to 250 meters with an angular resolution smaller than 0.1° in broad daylight with its MEMS-based miniature laser scanning technology, Innoluce has created an option to enable long […]
What Vision and Range Sensors will be used in Future Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)?
Today, radar and cameras provide the critical information for high-end vehicles with high tech Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). In fact, some vehicles have eight radar sensors, as well as several video cameras. Advances in lidar, image sensing, radar and even communication based positioning such as Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) promise to make the […]
An Integrated Solid-State LiDAR Sensor for Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous vehicles are the ultimate future for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). For widespread acceptance, the cost of “seeing the road” must be considerably cheaper than it is in today’s limited production, high-end vehicles. The right cost will make a technology acceptable for many applications and wide range of vehicles. Targeting a cost of $250 […]
Highly integrated CMOS single-chip for postage stamp-sized radar sensors
NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ:NXPI)has announced the next step in innovation for its market-leading automotive radar portfolio: the world’s smallest single-chip 77GHz radar transceiver (7.5×7.5 mm) with very high resolution performance. Radar is a core technology in existing and future Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), as it provides precise data about the surrounding driving environment, ultimately […]
A System–Level Radar Solution
At the International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2015, held May 17-21 in Phoenix, AZ, Nao Motoyama, a Systems and Applications Engineer at Freescale Semiconductor, explained the capabilities of the MR2100, a recently introduced multi-channel 77 GHz radar transceiver chipset. For more information about the Freescale MR2100 77 GHz radar IC, click here.
Automotive Sensing and LiDAR
Today, from 60 to 100 different sensors can be found on the average new car. Some pundits estimate that twice that many will be there within the next five years. If this occurs, the global auto industry will consume some 22 billion sensors annually by 2020. Autonomous vehicles and subsets of self-driving cars are among […]
LiDAR Sensor Addresses Mobile Mapping Applications
The Velodyne LiDAR division’s 360° HDL-32E LiDAR sensors measures Calibrated Reflectivity data. This data helps to localize license plates, street signs and lane markings within 2D pictures and surround video data for classification/cataloging during asset management and blurring of privacy information. The sensor has a compact footprint and an acquisition rate of ~700,000 data points […]
