In ADAS, forward-facing cameras capture traffic signs, signals, and pedestrians at farther distances using a narrow field of view (FOV). This narrower angle enables the camera to focus on distant objects with greater accuracy, making it ideal for applications that involve monitoring long stretches of road or detecting objects from far away.

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the AEC-Q100 qualified rectangular ambient light sensor.

As vehicles become more complex, their need for accurate imaging has increased. This has driven the adoption of surround-view cameras.

NXP Semiconductors has unveiled its new S32R47 imaging radar processors in 16 nm FinFET technology.

Driver monitoring cameras have become widely accepted as a force in improving road safety. They go a long way to address the risks associated with driver inattention and fatigue by helping continuously observe driver behaviour. It means that signs of distraction or drowsiness can be easily detected. In turn, this triggers alerts or safety interventions, which can literally save lives.

Advantech has officially joined the Information Technology for Public Transport (ITxPT) association and successfully obtained ITxPT certification.

Navitas introduces a new level of reliability to meet the system lifetime requirements of the most demanding automotive and industrial applications.

Arrow Electronics and its engineering services arm, eInfochips, in collaboration with Vishay eMobility, announced the launch of a low-voltage traction inverter reference design tailored for light electric vehicles (LEVs).

Synaptics and Murata announce they are partnering to develop a next-generation turnkey wireless connectivity module for automotive Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs.

Lidar, which means light detection and ranging but is sometimes called time of flight (ToF), laser scanning or laser radar – is a sensing method that detects objects and maps their distances. The technology works by illuminating a target with an optical pulse and measuring the characteristics of the reflected return signal.
