U.S. Auto Tech National Championship Driven by Yokohama’s Post

Autonomous driving is the future of the automotive industry, but it will take some time to get there. High-end vehicles are being equipped with more autonomous features, but to achieve full autonomy, new technologies and infrastructure are needed. This will take years of effort and sufficient volume to bring down the cost. In the meantime, Level 3 autonomous driving is already being introduced, with Level 4 features offering even more benefits. Mercedes-Benz has already introduced Level 3 autonomous driving, and other car manufacturers are expected to follow. The road to full autonomy may be long, but the journey is worth it.

Mercedes-Benz makes history by introducing Level 3 autonomous vehicles in the U.S., marking a significant leap in automotive innovation. This achievement signifies a step closer to fully automated driving, promising safer and more efficient journeys with reduced driver intervention.

In the area of automotive technology, the development of autonomous vehicles has dominated recent advancements. However, Toyota Research Institute (TRI) Human Interactive Driving (HID) team is taking a different approach, focusing on active safety systems that empower human drivers rather than replace them. #AI #MACHINELEARNING #AUTOMATION #TECHNOLOGY #AUTONOMOUSVEHICLES

"More autonomous features are being added into high-end vehicles, but getting to full autonomy will likely take years more effort, a slew of new technologies — some of which are not in use today, and some of which involve infrastructure outside the vehicle — along with sufficient volume to bring the cost of these combined capabilities down to an affordable price point. In the meantime, many of the features that will be included in autonomous vehicles are likely to be rolled out individually" #automotiveindustry #adas https://lnkd.in/eUhpcnWN

There are six levels of automated driving from full control of a vehicle by a physical driver, assisted by advanced safety technology, to a vehicle that can operate without any on-board human input. The top level represents a fully autonomous vehicle. https://trib.al/SUABQbo

Our CEO, Jim Varney, is attending the ADAS & AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE TECHNOLOGY EXPO, California in Santa Clara, CA this week. Please reach out if you will be there and want to set up a meeting with Jim! To meet the needs of their vehicle R&D programs, major international automakers collaborate with Product Insight. There will always be a segment of the population that enjoys the act of driving. With this in mind, many in the automotive industry envision a future where AI is used to augment and enrich, not replace, the driving experience, making it safer and more enjoyable for all.

In the race to make fully automated cars a reality, one idea constantly resonates: Will it be safe to step into one of these vehicles? 🚗 While the question may seem to warrant a simple yes or no answer, the actual question is: How do OEMs ensure passenger safety? In our latest blog, we delve deeper into functional safety, SOTIF (Safety of the Intended Function), and position integrity to explore how these concepts shape a safer future for autonomous vehicles.

Safety is the central component in the widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles. While we’re still years away from self-driving cars usurping human-controlled vehicles, the safety and self-diagnosing technology built on AI and on-chip monitoring continues to advance each year. https://hubs.la/Q02l4Bbk0

u-blox introduces end-to-end positioning solution for autonomous driving 🚗 👉 u-safe has been developed to make use of components that are proven in automotive driver navigation systems to offer Tier 1 suppliers and OEMs an advanced driver automated and assistance systems (ADAS) positioning solution that already has a record of being both reliable and safe. 👉 Currently, u-blox is the only supplier in the market to offer a functional-safety-and-SOTIF compliant safe end-to-end positioning solution combining proprietary hardware with customised software and correction service. u-safe is therefore simplifying the automotive supply chain with a comprehensive solution for customers working on ADAS up to SAE Level 5. 💬 Peter Kalinowski, Director of Product Management for Safety-Critical Products at u-blox, said: “Autonomous driving represents the most significant revolution in the automotive industry. While humans deal with risks daily, accidents involving autonomous vehicles have far-reaching consequences. Ensuring safety is paramount. Undoubtedly, the foremost requirement for customer acceptance and widespread deployment of automated driving systems is to ensure safety." “Our mission is to deliver the next generation of seamless, safe positioning solutions that enable vehicle autonomy.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/esWb7KGK #autonomousdriving #semiconductor #automotiveinnovation #automotivenews
