Autonomous vehicles obviously continue to be a hot theme, both in terms of business – with Amazon reportedly in advanced talks to buy self-driving car tech company Zoox (Foster City, CA) – and in terms of technology. Recent AV tech updates include a new standard and improved simulation solutions. More news this week come from academic research on new materials, both for IT and for power applications; lastly, one more FPGA vendor offering simplified solutions for non-expert designers.
Autonomous vehicles updates: UL 4600 standard, news from AVSimulation and Foretellix
The amount of technical standards specifically addressing autonomous vehicles is growing: last week we briefly reported about IEEE 2846, a “formal model for safety considerations in automated vehicle decision making”; and last April 1 Underwriters Laboratories announced the publication of UL 4600, a “standard for safety for the evaluation of autonomous products”.
