Nvidia, MediaTek and Their Partnership in Connected Car Technology https://devstyler.io/blog/2023/05/30/nvidia-mediatek-and-their-partnership-in-connected-car-technology/ Tue, 30 May 2023 06:40:42 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=107197 ...]]> Nvidia Corp and MediaTek Inc will collaborate on technologies to power advanced infotainment systems for cars that can stream video or games or interact with drivers using artificial intelligence.

MediaTek will integrate an Nvidia graphics processing chip and Nvidia software into the system-on-chips it supplies to automakers for infotainment displays.

The companies said MediaTek systems that use Nvidia’s software will be compatible with automated control systems based on Nvidia’s technology. Dashboard displays will show what’s going on around the car, and cameras will monitor the driver of the vehicle.

In-vehicle displays and entertainment systems are becoming more complex as automakers add features such as gaming, artificial intelligence for voice-activated features, driver monitoring systems and displays related to automated driving.

The partnership with MediaTek gives Nvidia wider access to the $12 billion market for infotainment system-on-chips, the companies said.

“There are a lot of segments they are addressing that Nvidia has not addressed,”

said Danny Shapiro, Nvidia’s vice president, automotive.

Nvidia has focused on premium automotive brands such as Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar Land Rover. MediaTek, which has its base in the Android smartphone chip sector, sells its Dimensity Auto technology to lower-priced, mass market vehicle lines, and has strengths in mobile connectivity and Android systems.

The companies did not identify future automotive customers.

Bosch’s Advanced Driver Assistance Systems Is Available for Trams  https://devstyler.io/blog/2021/11/10/bosch-s-advanced-driver-assistance-systems-is-available-for-trams/ Wed, 10 Nov 2021 16:07:04 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=74482 ...]]> As tram drivers often experience challenges like commuter traffic or poor visibility, Bosch Engineering has developed Life-saving Advanced Driver Assistance Systems automobile technology, also available for light rail, such as trams. During the American Public Transportation Association #APTAExpo, Nov 8-10, Bosch will showcase the Tram Forward Collision Warning System (TFCW), highlighting the benefits this system provides for cities to help reduce accidents.

In terms of its collision warning system for light rail vehicles, Bosch Engineering relies on components from automotive technology to actively reduce the expensive consequences of accidents or prevent them altogether.

High availability of light rail vehicles

The collision warning system for trams supports drivers in critical situations. When congested traffic or poor visibility conditions occur, the system warns the driver about obstacles on the rails in plenty of time. This lets drivers avoid accidents, or at least significantly limit the effects.

The system consists of a multi-purpose camera, a radar sensor, and a control unit. It monitors the track ahead and any possible obstacles in front of the vehicle in real time. It sends a warning to the driver once it detects a potential collision. Whether the driver responds too late or not at all, the collision warning system can initiate automatic braking.

Detecting critical situations

Life-saving Advanced Driver Assistance Systems’ multi-purpose camera monitors the track ahead and transmits the data in real time to the radar sensor. The radar is independent of weather and light conditions. Its sensor recognizes potential obstacles in front of the vehicle from a distance of up to 80 meters away. Considering the vehicle’s speed, the system uses the information to determine the danger of a collision.

In type 1 of the system, it determines whether the threat, which can be presented by an obstacle that warrants a visual or acoustic warning to the driver. Type 2 of the system sends a signal via relay output to trigger automatic braking, should the driver respond too late or not at all to the system’s warning.

Bosch Is Generating Sales of More Than One Billion Euros with Electromobility https://devstyler.io/blog/2021/09/07/bosch-is-generating-sales-of-more-than-one-billion-euros-with-electromobility/ Tue, 07 Sep 2021 13:50:00 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=69523 ...]]> In electromobility, Bosch is growing twice as fast as the market, and will generate more than 1 billion euros in sales this year. This business is continuing to gain speed: by 2025, sales are expected to grow five-fold. Dr. Volkmar Denner, chairman of the Bosch board of management, at IAA Mobility 2021 in Munich, said:

“Electromobility will become a core business for us, and CO 2 – free mobility a growth area. We are turning challenges into opportunities – that’s how we do things at Bosch.”

These growth areas also include automated driving. Driver assistance is the basis for all the levels of automated driving. The company’s healthy position in the areas of electromobility and automated driving is helping it to successfully hold its own in a market environment marked by the Covid crisis, chip shortages, and the even faster transformation of the mobility sphere: the sales revenue of its Mobility Solutions business sector will grow 10 percent this year. Denner added:

“Bosch is a technology leader, and this means business success.”

Electric driving – breakthrough thanks to Bosch high-tech

Electromobility will be the next chapter in the Bosch story. With upfront investments totaling 5 billion euros so far, and the most efficient electrical powertrain solutions in the market, the company is helping it to a breakthrough. This year alone, upfront investments will come to another 700 million euros. Dr. Stefan Hartung, member of the board of management and chairman of the Mobility Solutions business sector, said:

“We are preparing for increasing demand for electric vehicles across the globe. Worldwide, we expect that 60 percent of all newly registered vehicles in 2035 will be electric.”

The company’s aim is to shape the mobility of the future, across the entire range. Denner added:

“It must be climate-friendly, but it also has to be affordable and attractive, not least in light of the ambitious targets set by the EU. Only in this way will people and freight stay mobile in the future as well.”

Bosch is continuing to pursue a technology-neutral approach, offering climate-friendly solutions worldwide for all types of mobility, in line with the requirements of national policy. Bosch is investing not only in battery-electric powertrains, but in fuel-cell powertrains as well, and is involved in customer projects in China, the United States, and Europe. The first trucks featuring Bosch technology are already on the road in China. When driving electrically, recharging plays a decisive role. In Munich, Bosch is premiering a new flexible charging cable for electric cars. It features integrated control and safety technology and adapters for Type 2 and household plugs. Even when recharging at a 230-volt power socket, it can do without the otherwise usual in-cable control box, which means that it weighs less than three kilograms – some 40 percent less than conventional charging cables featuring control boxes.

Autonomous driving – Bosch offers everything from a single source

Domain control units, sensors, artificial intelligence: the Bosch portfolio contains all the elements of automated driving, and the company has some 5,000 engineers working on all its levels. Not least among these elements are enhanced assistance functions that allow drivers to take their hands off the wheel. Bosch is already working with Mercedes-Benz and other partners on deploying this function in the P6 parking garage at Stuttgart airport. The new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the world’s first production vehicle to feature the technology needed for this. So that driverless vehicles can navigate by smartphone command to a reserved parking bay, Bosch is equipping the parking garage with technology such as fixed-installation video cameras. A further 1,000 parking garages are expected to follow suit by 2025. For all the extra convenience associated with such developments, Bosch sees automated driving above all as something that can make road traffic safer. Bosch pioneered systems ranging from electronic skid control to automatic emergency braking, and continues to pursue the goal of accident-free driving. At the same time, the company is providing innovative software as the basis for the intelligence cars need to have. Denner said:

“Even in the software-dominated mobility of the future, our profound systems expertise will be an advantage: Bosch is equally at home in the world of on-board electronics and of the internet of things, with which cars will be connected.”

Connected driving – Bosch thinks beyond the engine hood

Vehicles are increasingly turning into internet nodes. In the future, software will be just as important as powertrain performance or efficiency. Bosch is actively shaping this change. And the company is well positioned for this: nearly half the R&D associates in the Mobility Solutions busines sector are software engineers. Even the bicycle is becoming part of the internet, as evidenced by the new Bosch eBike Flow app. For example, it enables the software in components to be updated. In addition, software integration is becoming more and more important: here as well, Bosch has the necessary expertise. Take infotainment computers: by 2025, their computing power and software complexity will double. Bosch ensures that the various software modules work reliably with each other. When it comes to connectivity, moreover, the company’s ideas go far beyond vehicles.

Since April this year, Mercedes-Benz models featuring the MBUX voice assistant have also been a command center for Bosch smart-home applications. From the driver’s seat, a voice command is sufficient to contact the smart home and switch off the lights, open blinds, and control the heating. All this shows that Bosch technology is paving the way to mobility that is sustainable, safe, and exciting.
