A Short Demonstration of GM’s EN-V Capabilities

January 12, 2011 By Randy Frank

I attended the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, and had the opportunity to look for sensors in a variety of applications. General Motors two-wheel EN-V concept vehicle provided a great example. Driven in a variety of modes, including autonomous driven over a programmed path, the electric vehicles demonstrated both tracking and collision […]

Legislating More Sensors

December 26, 2010 By Randy Frank

If the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) gets its way, backup cameras will be required on all new vehicles by 2014. Intended to prevent drivers from backing over pedestrians, the Rule could add the cost of camera and display electronics to low-end cars, the most cost-sensitive vehicles. NHTSA data indicates an average of 292 […]
