EVTOL: The Intersection of Automotive and Aerospace
Innovators have pitched flying cars as the solution to urban congestion for decades. A practical flying sedan or SUV still seems a way off though, but another class of urban air mobility (UAM) transportation is on the cusp of commercialization: the Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing (EVTOL) aircraft. Many startups populate the EVTOL space, and some will probably not survive. […]

How 5G Standards Will Impact Driving and Autonomous Vehicles
Observers of the automotive industry have long predicted that 5G (5th-generation) communications will have the ability to greatly advance autonomous driving and the adoption of autonomous vehicles (AVs). In short, 5G is an ultra-fast, ultra-reliable, ultra-low-latency signal that has the potential to be 100 times faster than the previous standard, 4G (4th-generation), by using higher […]

Captivating Displays Driving Vehicle Engagement
Screens have been ubiquitous in vehicles since the 2018 rule that required back-up cameras for new vehicles. Since then, a competition amongst manufacturers to have the coolest, biggest and most high-tech vehicle infotainment displays has fostered ingenious – and sometimes bizarre – new products. Furthermore, the declining price of LCDs has made it possible to […]

Redundant Wireless Communication for V2X Systems
Autonomous vehicle sensor technology is improving and cars need a reliable method to share all of that critical information with their environment. Vehicles will need to communicate with other vehicles, pedestrians and bikers, traffic infrastructure and more if we are to realize true autonomy. Most automotive OEMs understand the importance of sensor redundancy in self-driving […]
