Designs to Dye for: Autonomy's New-Materials
Revolution
From pineapples to bacteria, Envisage's research is focused on
new-mobility's 'inside' story.
Dining on Data
Processing, in real-time, the enormous data stream that's
flowing through AVs is increasingly the job of NVIDIA's mighty
GPUs. Danny Shapiro relishes the feast.
New Performance Metrics for Lidar
Frame-rate measurement is so yesterday. Object-revisit rate and
instantaneous resolution are more relevant metrics, and indicative
of what a lidar system can and should do, argues a revolutionary in
the artificial-perception space.
5G Cellular May Be Transformational for Automakers,
Suppliers
Long-awaited 5G cellular technology will be a foundational base for
expanding vehicle connectivity and autonomy, enabling far more data
capacity and lower latency.
First Smile, Last Smile
May Mobility is building a unique business model around AV shuttle
services, explains COO and co-founder Alisyn Malek.
'Road Race' for AV Testing May Be
Slowing
To optimize safety, as well as cost- and time-efficiency, experts
espouse increased virtual testing of autonomous vehicles as
preferable to the industry's rush to test on public roads.
The famous "Trolley Problem" might not really
be the problem automat-ed-vehicle ethics have to
solve.
AV 'Goiters' Be Gone!
Magneti Marelli's 'Smart Corner' technology aims to
reduce cost, complexity and mass by integrating key vehicle sensors
seamlessly into a vehicle's lighting modules.
Supersonic Spy Drone
To light off its ramjet engine, the 2,300-mph D-21 needed a
blindingly-fast launch platform. Enter Lockheed's A-12-the
precursor to the SR-71 Blackbird.
