Five challenges for developing next-generation ADAS and autonomous vehicles
ADAS and autonomous vehicles need new datacom architectures and new attitudes. The state of California requires autonomous vehicle manufacturers to annually document and report every manual intervention by test drivers, including the cause and the vehicle’s mileage. In less than five years, these reports have demonstrated significant improvements in miles per intervention for virtually every […]
