How Emerging Technologies Are Driving the Inside of Next-Gen Cars
May 31, 2018
The automotive industry is adopting self-driving cars as the next major evolutionary step in vehicular technology. However, improvements need to be made to data buses inside the car to support the additional data needed for a car to operate autonomously. Ethernet and the Mobile Industry Processor Interface (MIPI) are replacing previous network technologies, allowing for the next generation of autonomous vehicles through faster data rates and lower latency.

Driving By Ethernet
February 1, 2018
The race to add more sophisticated and safety-critical electronics into cars is forcing carmakers to revisit the communications systems within increasingly electrified and connected vehicles.
Until very recently, communication between components within a vehicle was simplistic, and communication between vehicles was non-existent. All of that is changing quickly. Rapid and secure communication between more electronics within a car, between cars, and between cars and infrastructure are essential pieces of assisted and autonomous driving.
However, not all of the...
