Competition winners to receive funding to upgrade testing infrastructure for connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) technology.

Renesas and Australian Semiconductor Technology Company (ASTC) are jointly  developing The VLAB/IMP-TASimulator virtual platform (VP) for Renesas’ R-Car V3M, an automotive system-on-chip (SoC) for advanced driving assistance systems (ADAS) and in-vehicle infotainment systems. The VP simulates image recognition and cognitive intellectual properties (IPs) in the R-Car V3M SoC and realizes embedded software development using a PC only, which enables the ...

BrainChip, the neural net specialist, has shipped its first BrainChip Accelerator card to a major European automobile manufacturer. It is the first commercial implementation of a hardware-accelerated spiking neural network (SNN) system. The BrainChip Accelerator is an example of neuromorphic computing, a branch of artificial intelligence that simulates neuron functions. BrainChip Accelerator will be evaluated for use in Advanced Driver ...
