The automotive semiconductor industry is undergoing a major architectural transition as vehicles evolve into centralized, software-defined computing platforms capable of supporting advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, and AI-enabled cockpit applications. This shift is driving demand for… Read More

The increasing complexity of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated driving architectures has driven a transition from traditional bus-based interconnects to scalable Network-on-Chip (NoC) fabrics. Renesas’ next-generation R-Car automotive SoC platforms adopt Arteris FlexNoC interconnect intellectual… Read More
Dan is joined by SiLC Technologies CEO Mehdi Asghari. Mehdi is one of the early pioneers of the silicon photonics industry with over 25 years of commercialization experience in this space. SiLC is his third Silicon Photonics start-up focusing on advanced imaging solutions. His previous startups, Kotura and Bookham, both enabled… Read More
Given false starts and OEM strategic retreats you could be forgiven for thinking that the autonomous personal car dream is now a lost cause. But that’s not quite true. While moonshot goals have been scaled back or are running under wraps, applications continue to advance, for adaptive cruise control, collision avoidance, automatic… Read More
When it comes to competing with Elon Musk’s Tesla the automotive industry is, in many ways, its own worst enemy. For more than two decades the auto industry – in the U.S. and E.U. – has struggled to bring vehicle-to-vehicle communication technology to market – first as dedicated short range communications… Read More
For many decades now, modern optical technology has been deployed in networking infrastructure, for long haul and medium haul links to support internet communications. The foundation of this technology is photonics, which is the science of generation, manipulation and detection of light for performing functions otherwise… Read More
SLAM – simultaneous localization and mapping – is already a well-established technology in robotics. This generally starts with visual SLAM, using object recognition to detect landmarks and obstacles. VSLAM alone uses a 2D view of a 3D environment, challenging accuracy; improvements depend on complementary sensing inputs… Read More
The capacity and energy efficiency challenges from the growing appetite for high-speed data along with advanced applications such as LIDAR and quantum computing are driving demand for increasingly large-scale photonic integrated circuits (PIC). With an ever-increasing number of components on a single photonic chip, manual… Read More
As I prepare to join the International Telecommunications Union’s Future Networked Car Symposium – today through Friday – I am reminded of Charles Dickens’ “A Tale of Two Cities” and its unforgettable opening paragraph – modified for a modern context here:
It was the best of times,… Read More
