Assisted driving means safer and more efficient trucks
In Europe, trucks transport 14.7 billion tonnes of goods per year on average, accounting for 76.7% of all goods carried across the continent. This sheer amount of cargo requires heavy equipment to handle the workload, but the Read Full
Augmented reality head-up displays to break new ground with holography
The way in which drivers and occupants interact with the vehicle is changing dramatically, and augmented reality (AR) head-up displays (HUDs) could play a big role in the human-machine interface. Envisics, a UK-based pioneer of dynamic holography Read Full
Concern mounts over ‘confusing’ driver assistance language
Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are becoming more common in everyday vehicles. But are consumers using them, and more importantly, do they understand their limitations? There are many ADAS features available today. Some provide driver alerts while Read Full
Computing power and partnerships among Tier 1 priorities for ADAS
Tier 1s are at the heart of the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) ramp-up for a number of reasons. On the one hand, they have long been leading suppliers of components that are essential for ADAS platforms, Read Full
Is ADAS a stepping stone to high-level autonomy?
The modern vehicle is becoming increasingly intelligent, and not just in terms of connectivity or electrification. Practically every new model driven off the forecourt has some form of advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) installed. That these technologies Read Full
What are the implications of a burgeoning ADAS market?
Automatic emergency braking (AEB) was introduced to the passenger car segment towards the end of the noughties. Unsurprisingly, Volvo was among those automakers at the vanguard: in 2008, the long-term champion of safety announced that the XC60 Read Full
Robo-shuttles suit MaaS better than robotaxis
Automaker visions for autonomous vehicles (AV) have changed through the years: any suggestion that consumers will soon be able to own a fully capable, Level 5 AV before 2030 have been muted in favour of advanced driver Read Full
Sony’s ADAS expert bullish on the sector’s future
Founded in 2015 in Budapest, Hungary, AImotive is not the most well-known player in the automated driving sector. It is, however, a stakeholder in one of the industry’s most intriguing projects. As announced in January 2021, it Read Full
Will infrastructure block the flight path to urban air mobility?
For increasingly crowded urban centres, air mobility could make a big difference to congestion problems. Flying taxis may have started out as science fiction but developments over the past few years have brought the segment much closer Read Full
Stricter test criteria could grow active safety in Brazil
The safety of new vehicles has long been a problem in Brazil, with zero-star ratings common even among popular models. Fault is directed not only at automakers for not offering more safety equipment voluntarily, but also the Read Full
Where does steel fit in the shift to sustainable mobility?
Steel has served as the material of choice for car manufacturing since the industry’s inception, but vehicles have come a long way since then. Car manufacturers are now positioning themselves as mobility providers for a transport system Read Full
