Adasens has entered a partnership to provide its portfolio of computer vision functions to Videantis in a project that aims to bring advanced sensing technologies to self-driving vehicles and automotive advanced driver assistance systems applications. Videantis will also offer its low-power, high-performance embedded vision processor to the agreement.

Videantis' processor architecture is said to carry out fast machine vision and image processing tasks at low power levels, which enable the technology to be embedded into smaller electronic control units and tiny cameras.

Marco Jacobs, VP Marketing at videantis, said, “We’ve been working together with Adasens already for some time. Intelligent automotive cameras that include our vision processors have already hit the market and mass production will start in 2019. Key OEMs and Tier 1s have chosen Ficosa and Adasens as the suppliers of the cameras and computer vision functions, respectively, for their next-generation vehicles, and we’re proud to be working with them.”

    Navya has unveiled its Autonom Cab (AC) in Paris to address challenges urban populations face when travelling in and around cities. The cab, designed to be completely autonomous, comes without a cockpit, steering wheel or pedals and can carry up to six passengers. It is capable of speeds up to 90km/h, but will average towards 50km/h to conform with local speed limits. The Navya app enables users to order an AC and open and close the vehicle’s doors to start it up. The cab is also capable of pre-empting

    In-vehicle anti-collision systems continue to evolve and could eliminate some incidents altogether. John Kendall rounds up the current developments. A few weeks ago, I watched a driver reverse a car from a parking bay at right angles to the road, straight into a car driving along the road. The accident happened at walking pace, no-one was hurt and both cars had body panels that regain their shape after a low speed shunt.
