Featured Vendors(April-June) – 2022

In recent years, leading auto manufacturers have been rapidly increasing their spending on research and development in their quest to build higher-performing, more service-oriented vehicles. Among the many goals, self-driving cars or autonomous cars is the most ambitious of all. With OEMs and auto tech companies spending millions of dollars on autonomous vehicles, experts forecast that one in ten vehicles will be autonomous by the next decade. High-end systems like high-res cameras and lidar and radar sensors essential to autonomous cars are already being experimented with in present models.

Today, the technologies integrated into cars can vary from ones meant to enhance the driving experience, such as the infotainment system, to safety-critical systems like the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS). While an error in the infotainment system may not lead to severe accidents, the lack of adequate safety features can lead to catastrophic events. Safety-critical ADAS and autonomous driving (AD) systems come with a host of unique requirements. High bandwidth is essential to support the full range of applications, and long-distance connectivity ensures strong connections between image sensors located at the edge of the car and its computer systems. At the same time, zero-latency is also critical to detecting and acting on safety-related events.

As the number of sensors and connected technologies for cars in the market increase, new protocols will need to be developed specifically for each application. These automotive technologies will be crucial for enhancing the functionality and performance of connected and autonomous vehicles and the growth of auto tech startups.
