NXP Semiconductors recently announced their new technology - NXP Automated drive kit, which allows the car manufacturing company to develop, test and utilize autonomous algorithms and application fastly on an open and flexible platform.

The kit enables easy access to multiple hardware and software options, which is helpful to the…

Automobiles have been the primary mode of transportation for most of us and we depend on them for our day to day commute. Unfortunately there are lots of mishaps that could occur while driving an automobile and Brake Failures are one such case. Of course accidents cannot be avoided sometimes but they can sure be prevented by taking some preventive measures. In this…

Measuring the speed/rpm of a Vehicle or a motor has always been a fascinating project for us to try. So, in this project we are going to build one using the Industrial ready PIC microcontrollers. We will use a piece of magnet and a Hall Sensor to measure the speed. There are other ways/sensors to measure the speed but, using a hall sensor is cheap and also can be used on any…

In this project we are going to make a PIC based Car Battery Monitoring system on PCB. Here we have designed a PCB using EASYEDA online PCB simulator and designer. This Car Battery Monitoring Circuit is used to monitor the power of Car Battery by just plugging it into the power outlet on the dashboard of a car. The PCB also has the option to use it as Voltage Measurement…

This car parking assistant can protect your car from any damage while reverse parking. It indicates the distance of car from any object and raise an alarm when it reaches close to the wall or the object and needs to be stopped. This car parking sensor circuit is quite easy and uses few commonly available components which are listed below.
