The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) has been a part of vehicles’ active safety assistance features for over a decade because it improves vehicle performance and safety. TPMS is essential to monitor tire condition parameters such as inflation pressure, temperature, tire wear, and vehicle performance parameters (e.g., fuel economy, safety, a...

Dubbed as the next big thing in the automotive industry, adaptive steering solutions failed to live up to the hype generated in the early part of this millennium. Launched in 2003, BMWs adaptive steering solution was touted to be a game changer. Subsequent launches by other OEMs, particularly for rear-wheel steering (RWS) and four-wheel adaptive st...

As the automotive industry converges toward Connected, Autonomous, Shared, and Electric (CASE) mobility, OEMs are working on re-engineering their conventional platforms to accommodate electric vehicle (EV) components such as batteries and motors. However, the industrys transition from a vehicle-centric to a service-centric approach necessitates the...

According to accident research conducted by the German Insurance Association up to 17% of collisions involving pedestrians and vehicles, leading to personal injury, occur at the rear side of the car. 70% of the accident victims were elderly or children below the age of 12 and an estimated 1,400 people are seriously injured in such incidences across...

Increase in adoption of advanced driver assistance systems and evolution in autonomy has intensified the need to sense and perceive vehicle surroundings entirely and accurately. With the rise in the level of autonomy, the number of perception sensors will increase to provide complete 360o perception of vehicle surroundings and an additional layer o...

With yearly changes in NCAP initiatives, a lack of common requirements exists from one region to another. While the same OEMs operate in multiple regions, usually with the same model of vehicles, different NCAP ratings are given. OEMs must comply with various rating requirements for the same vehicle. Considering that all regions of the world share ...

With increased electrical loads, especially from electronic applications, and the need to reduce carbon emissions, the voltage level of a vehicles power-net must be increased. Still, not all applications are ready to be ported to a higher voltage level, which has resulted in a phased approach to porting and the development of a dual-voltage power-...
