Kostal and Infineon Equip the Car with 6th Sense for Increased Traffic Safety
Throughout Europe 25,700 people were killed on the roads last year – an average of 70 traffic fatalities a day. Most of these accidents happened because the motorists weren’t paying attention. A new system has been designed to assist the driver and significantly reduce the number of accidents. At the 2015 International Motor Show (IAA), […]
CMOS Image Sensors Poised for Growth
The 2015 edition of IC Insights’ O-S-D Report—A Market Analysis and Forecast for Optoelectronics, Sensors/Actuators, and Discretes shows CMOS image sensor sales climbing 15% in 2015 to reach an all-time high of $10.1 billion. This occurs after a strong 19% increase in 2014 and subpar 4% growth in 2013. The 2013 decline primarily resulted from […]
