LG is to demonstrate a customisable cross-domain computer for automated driving and in-vehicle entertainment at CES – aimed at vehicles emerging in 2027. The single electronic module, designed as part of a collaboration with Magna, is intended to support multiple in-vehicle entertainment and information systems as well as automated driving at various ASILs (automotive safety integrity levels). “This scalable solution ...

Recogni has combined its 7nm Scorpio AI processor with a 7nm Renesas R-Car V4H ASIL D processor IC – which is already AI-capable – to create a 2,000Top/s embedded computer for vehicles that self-drive at SAE levels L2+ to L4. Called Phoenix, the computer is also offered in 500 and 1,000Top/s forms. Multiple high resolution high frame rate video streams can ...

Artificial intelligence computer vision company Seeing Machines has teamed up with Analog Devices to create an in-vehicle driver fatigue and driver distraction monitoring system. They are aiming at in-cabin DMS and OMS (driver and operator monitoring systems), used in semi-automated vehicle driving systems to improve the chances that the driver is participating appropriately. Seeing Machines is supplying human-monitoring software that ...

Following its acquisition of Steradian Semiconductors in August, Renesas entered the automotive radar market this week when it introduced a multi-channel 76 – 81GHz transceiver at Electronica. Designed for driver assistance and Level 3 (and higher) autonomous driving, the MMIC (monolithic microwave integrated circuit) is aimed imaging radar, long-range forward radar and ‘4D’ radar, “but can also be used for ...

MicroSys Electronics announced a module built around NXP’s S32G3 vehicle network processor at Embedded World 2022. Intended for real-time mixed-critical safety applications, “thanks to the NXP S32G3 processor, the MPX-S32G399A system-on-module surpasses its NXP S32G2-based predecessor with 2.5 times more application processing performance,” according to MicroSys. Improvements include eight Arm Cortex-A53 cores instead of four, as well as four Cortex-M7 ...

National Instruments has announced a fleet of vehicles for Europe, the US and China that will record data for autonomous driving research. The intention is to provide data for training, testing and validating perception algorithms and hardware. “ADAS data recording is one of the most complex challenges, as data from multiple sensor modalities – camera, radar, lidar, ultrasonics, infrared, IMUs, ...

NXP has announced a package of processing algorithms for automated driving. Called the ‘Premium radar SDK’ (PRSDK), the software will initially cover: interference mitigation, MIMO waveform optimisation and angular resolution enhancement, and is intended to be used with the company’s S32R45 or S32R41 radar processor. “It is planned to continue to evolve over time, expanding the list of algorithms through regular ...

Renesas has announced what hardware it thinks will be needed for Level 2+ and Level 3 automated driving – intended for cars (automobiles) sold in 2024 and onwards. “We expect to see ADAS adopted in all vehicle types, from mid-range to entry-level,” said company automotive v-p Naoki Yoshida.” In its Level 2+ and Level 3 SoC, branded R-Car V4H, it ...

Renesas and Fixstars are collaborating on automotive deep learning – establishing a laboratory to support early development and operation of driver-assistance and autonomous driving systems. “Fixstars possesses both software for deep learning and optimisation technology that allows more efficient utilisation of hardware,” said Renesas automotive v-p Takeshi Kataoka. “I am confident that our collaboration will enable us to provide support ...

Green Hills Software has teamed up with NXP to support driver assistance radar image processing. NXP is providing the hardware: the 16nm S32R45 imaging radar processor, while Green Hills is providing its Integrity real-time operating system (RTOS) and software development tools. “Common software and hardware architecture spanning the S32R45 and S32R41 radar processors enables OEMs and Tier 1s to develop ...
