DIY Self Driving Car DIY Self-Driving Car on a Budget: An Unconventional Experiment

In a unique and budget-friendly project, a determined YouTuber “Computerphile” set out to explore the feasibility of creating a self-driving car using minimal resources. With a clear disclaimer that this experiment is far from trustworthy for real-world applications, the project aimed to investigate the potential of machine learning to…

Autonomous Lane Detection Car Autonomous Lane Detection Car Using Raspberry Pi and OpenCV - Part 2

Self-driving cars are one of the modern world's newest fads. These self-driving cars rely on highly advanced control systems, sensors, actuators, complex algorithms, machine learning systems, and powerful processors. Road lane detection is one of the important things in a self-driving car as it helps the car to keep driving in between the lines. As we all know,…

Autonomous Vehicle Why the Autonomous Vehicle Segment is Under Severe Challenges?

The automotive sector is now pushing for a quantum shift to a future, where chauffeurs will have a very smaller or a basic role in driving and will be a complete exclusion in the coming time. The self-driving technologies and processes are furnished with several hurdles such as taking swift decisions in different and difficult conditions that may comprise moral dilemmas as…

Birdbath Resonating Gyro MEMS Gyroscope Researches Developed Ultra-High-Precision Gyroscope for Self-Driving Cars and Drones to Navigate Without GPS

Researchers at the University of Michigan have developed a tiny, low-cost, and highly precise gyroscope to aid self-driving cars and drones to remain on track even in the absence of a GPS signal. The research was supported by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency.

Named the Birdbath Resonating Gyro (BRG), the ultra-high-precision MEMS…

Different Levels of Self Driving Vehicles Different Levels of Autonomous Driving and Where we are Today

For the last many years, automobile manufacturers have turned their attention towards self-driven cars. It all became serious when Google launched its self-driving car project (Wamyo) in 2009. A few years later, Elon Musk announced Tesla would build a self-driving system into its cars and in November 2018, Tesla launched a feature called Navigate on Autopilot. By 2013, major…

LiDAR ICs for Self Driving Cars LiDAR ICs by Maxim Offer More Than 2x Higher Bandwidth for Faster Self-Driving Cars

Designers of automotive self-driving systems can now enable higher-speed autonomous driving through the industry’s fastest and smallest Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) ICs from Maxim Integrated Products. Compared to the closest competitive solution, the MAX40026 high-speed comparator and the MAX40660/MAX40661 high-bandwidth transimpedance amplifiers enable 10mph (15km/h…

Autonomous Vehicles How close are we to fully Autonomous Vehicles?

As most of the types of equipment we use today are being automated with state-of-the-art technologies, the advent of autonomous vehicles is no longer a surprise. Various mechanical features in conventional cars are being transformed into an automatic function. Consequently, today, semi-autonomous cars have become more ubiquitous than ever.
