Rearview mirror control is a critical component of modern vehicles, allowing drivers to adjust their rearview mirrors for optimal visibility and safety. Precise mirror positioning is essential for minimizing blind spots and ensuring a clear view of the road behind. Rearview mirror control contributes significantly to driving safety and convenience, making it a key focus for automotive manufacturer...

DC fast charging stations are becoming more common with the increased adoption of electric vehicles. Charging stations are a vital part of the infrastructure along major highways and populated suburbs, ensuring that electric vehicles have a place to charge during long-distance travel and day-to-day driving. These systems are often comprised of multiple 25kW to 75kW modules to create fast charging ...

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...

Wireless in-car charging is becoming an increasingly popular feature in new vehicle models. The ability to charge a smartphone or other portable device by simply placing it in a designated area, such as a center console tray — without having to physically connect the device or plug it in — offers a world of convenience for consumers. Charging has become an expected standard in most car models, and...

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...

Domain modules for automotive applications function as the software and computing brain for advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) capable and autonomous vehicles. These control units synthesize data from perception-sensing systems — such as cameras, radar, and LIDAR — with other sensors, navigation information, and vehicle health monitoring. They must quickly process all of this information and...

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 ...
