As vehicles continue to integrate electronic control unit (ECU) networks for cutting-edge functionality, the automotive central gateway controller plays a central role in bridging and managing the transfer of data across various protocols (e.g. CAN, FlexRay, LIN, Ethernet, and ISO-9141). The central gateway achieves physical isolation between ECU networks, as well as portability between protocols ...

Automotive displays — which include the center display, heads-up display (HUD), and gauge instrument cluster — show key information and interactive content to the driver. The center information display is connected to the head unit, and provides navigation and other in-cabin infotainment controls. The automotive HUD and gauge instrument cluster provide easy-to-access information for the driver. Th...

Automotive head unit designs have evolved from the traditional hardware interfaces into sophisticated infotainment systems that offer various in-cabin functionalities. These features include navigation, wireless connections, passenger entertainment, gesture recognition, and voice control. As consumer expectations for infotainment features continue to increase, manufacturers face design challenges ...

Automotive in-vehicle infotainment systems are becoming increasingly software-driven to enhance safety and security, as well as the overall driving experience. Modern cars integrate driving and environmental information, passenger entertainment, wireless connections, and navigation into a centralized infotainment system architecture. However, with the rise of sophisticated in-vehicle infotainment ...

Rearview cameras are perhaps the most well-known camera subsystem used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications. As this feature is being offered and expected in more and more vehicles, these camera systems must offer high integration and fast data processing to enable accurate, real-time monitoring of possible hazards behind the vehicle and channeling information directly to an L...

Front-facing cameras are an increasingly popular camera subsystem used in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) applications. Because this feature is becoming standard in more and more vehicles, off-battery camera systems must offer high integration and fast data processing to enable accurate, real-time monitoring of possible hazards in front of the vehicle, in addition to assisting with integ...

Driver monitoring systems are one of the latest developments in automotive safety technology. As part of a holistic human-machine interface (HMI), driver monitoring systems track vital sign parameters and driver attentiveness, so that in the event that the driver is unable to operate the vehicle, assistance can be provided. Of course, advanced new features add design complexity and additional cons...

360° surround view cameras help eliminate blind spots for drivers by providing a birds eye view of the car and typically channeling it directly to an LCD display located in the cabins head unit. This image is a composite created from multiple cameras located around the vehicle, usually at least four. Sometimes thought of as the next step in evolution from the backup camera, 360° surround view came...

Perception-sensing systems have become a popular ADAS offering in new vehicles, and will continue to expand as new cars integrate radar with cameras and even LIDAR systems. However, each of these sensors has strengths and limitation — thats where sensor fusion comes in. By combining the inputs from all of the cars perception-sensing systems, the driver is provided with the best possible informatio...

Telematics and e-call systems help increase vehicle safety by monitoring conditions and, in the event of a crash, assisting the driver with or alerting emergency responders directly to the event. These embedded onboard tools can monitor diagnostics and offer benefits such as vehicle tracking, as well communication for roadside assistance and emergency calls. Of course, new features also bring grea...

77GHz radar is quickly growing in popularity for automotive advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) applications. Perception-sensing systems are a growing market within ADAS technologies, and will continue to expand as new cars integrate radar with cameras and even LIDAR systems. Automotive imaging radar is used as an additional way to sense objects or potential hazards around the vehicle. 77GHz ...
