AI has changed a lot in the last ten years. In 2012, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were the state of the art for computer vision. Then around 2020 vison transformers (ViTs) redefined machine learning. Now, Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are changing the game again—blending image and text understanding to power everything… Read More

The automotive industry is evolving rapidly with the increasing demand for intelligent, connected, and autonomous vehicles. Central to this transformation are System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, which integrate multiple processing units into a single chip for managing everything from safety systems to in-car entertainment.… Read More
Even for experienced technologists some technologies can seem almost indistinguishable from magic. One example is the bird’s eye camera view available on your car’s infotainment screen. This view appears to be taken from a camera hovering tens of feet above your car. As an aid to parallel parking, it’s a brilliant invention; … Read More

Automotive radar is a key enabler for the development of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous vehicles. The use of radar allows vehicles to sense their environment and make decisions based on that information, enhancing… Read More
Two recent software-based algorithmic technologies –– autonomous driving (ADAS/AD) and generative AI (GenAI) –– are keeping the semiconductor engineering community up at night.
While ADAS at Level 2 and Level 3 are on track, AD at Levels 4 and 5 are far from reality, causing a drop in venture capital enthusiasm and money. Today,… Read More
The electrification of cars and the growth of EVs means that more semiconductor content is being added with every new vehicle model from suppliers around the globe. There are unique concerns for automotive IP in terms of reliability, security and safety over the lifetime of the vehicle. I had the pleasure to speak with Pawini Mahajan… Read More
In the final season of “The Sopranos,” Christopher Multisanti (played by Michael Imperioli) and Anthony Soprano (James Gandolfini) lose control of their black Cadillac Escalade and go tumbling off a two-lane rural highway and down a hill. Christopher dies (spoiler alert) with an assist from Tony, before Tony calls “911” for… Read More
