News alert! ?? Building upon recent regulations requiring automatic emergency braking (#AEB) on all new passenger cars and light trucks, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA announces yet another pivotal step in road safety requirements. The amended 5-Star Safety Ratings program will include new advanced driver assistance (ADAS) technologies to help protect drivers, passengers, and vulnerable road users. Notable changes include: ?? The addition of #ADAS technologies that will enhance crash-avoidance safety: pedestrian automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, blind spot warning and blind spot intervention. ?? Updated and strengthened testing procedures and performance criteria for advanced driver assistance technologies that are already included in NCAP, such as automatic emergency braking.

Embedded Executive Podcast host Richard Nass considers the vehicle in-cabin user experience and posed the question: “What’s next for vehicles? What features will we see in three years?” “In a nutshell, more.” Chet Babla, SVP of Strategic Marketing at indie responded, “More speed, more lighting, and more functions.” From lighting that enhances the in-cabin user experience (UX) to the rising demand for displays and efficient power delivery, Chet delves into how these elements are transforming driver and passenger interaction. In-cabin UX is not just about aesthetics – it's about better user engagement while advancing efficiency, ensuring safety, and meeting global standards.

Radar operating in the 70GHz spectrum is well-known for enabling automotive emergency braking (#AEB) and blind spot detection. However, extending operation to higher frequency bands such as 120GHz and 240GHz enables significantly higher resolution sensing, unlocking automotive applications such as precision in-cabin monitoring, real-time road surface assessment to adapt driving dynamics, and a multitude of adjacent industrial sensing use cases requiring precision measurement and monitoring. Microwave Journal recently published a feature covering indie's TRA_240_091, the world’s first commercial fully integrated 240 GHz radar front-end (RFE) SoC transceiver offering high resolution, enhanced detection, and robust performance. #precisionradar #radar #automotiveinnovation #indieSemi #automotiveincabin Learn more at: https://lnkd.in/eUnWM5vn

The Partnership for Analytics Research in Traffic Safety (PARTS) is a collaboration between automakers and U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA . The group aims to improve traffic safety through data-sharing and analysis. OEMs submitted data from 168 different models from 2015 – 2023 to determine the market penetration of Advanced Driver Assistance System (#ADAS) features. Key findings from this year’s report include: ?? Forward collision monitoring (FCM) and automatic emergency braking (#AEB) are the most widely adopted ADAS features, with 94% of 2023 model-year vehicles using these technologies. ?? Pedestrian detection warning (PDW) and pedestrian automatic emergency braking (#PAEB), which were found in fewer than 5% of 2015 model-year vehicles, are now integrated into over 90% of 2023 model-year vehicles. ?? Active driving assistance (ADA) and curve speed connection (CSC) technologies are an emerging trend in new vehicles, increasing from 0% market penetration in 2015 to 33.8% and 21.9% in 2023, respectively. indie's solutions are powering the future of #ADAS technology, enabling OEMs to integrate key safety features into their vehicles. From vision-based and ultrasonic to radar and LiDAR sensing, indie’s products are instrumental in achieving the future goal of the uncrashable car.
