It was the ideal environment for indie to share our latest innovations in software perception, introduce our next-generation edge AI SoC, and shed light on meaningful technical and market industry trends. Introducing iND881 As part of the event, we participated in…
indie once again participated in Hannover Messe, the world’s leading industrial trade show, bringing together global leaders, innovators, and decision-makers from across the manufacturing and technology sectors. Every year, it serves as a key platform for showcasing the latest developments in industrial transformation, smart manufacturing, and intelligent automation. Throughout the show, we highlighted our latest advancements in high‑frequency radar sensing with an ultra‑compact MIMO radar designed for operation in the…
Safety is not just a matter of importance for the average consumer. Modern fleets operate with dozens to thousands of vehicles on the road every day, and while safety has become a major concern for vehicle buyers, it also extends to fleet management, requiring sophisticated automated safety technologies to reduce the risk of accidents or injuries while also helping to improve operational efficiency. According to the most recent National Highway Traffic…
By Chet Babla, SVP, Strategic Marketing at indie The National Highway Transport Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 127 in the U.S. mandates Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and Pedestrian Automatic Emergency Braking (PAEB) – including, for the first time anywhere globally, nighttime scenarios – in all new passenger vehicles by September 2029, presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for automakers. The standard states that vehicles…
October marks Pedestrian Safety Month in the U.S., a national effort to raise awareness about the importance of pedestrian safety. Led by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this annual observance is part of a broader effort to reduce pedestrian fatalities and injuries through education, community engagement, and the implementation of technological advancements in vehicles. By focusing on the steps to improve…
By: Abhay Rai, Chief Product Officer, indie Semiconductor Automotive safety has been a persistent challenge in the industry, with fatal crashes claiming lives at an alarming rate worldwide. While legislation and enforcement play a key role in addressing this issue, implementing Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and increased driver automation are drivers in enabling the creation of uncrashable cars, no pun intended. With this, indie recently announced a strategic investment…
Distracted driving at 55 mph for five seconds is the same as driving with your eyes closed the length of a football field. Let that sink in. In honor of April being Distracted Driver Awareness Month, let’s address the importance of safer driving. Motor vehicle crashes are a leading cause of death in many countries. In the United States alone, crashes kill over 100 people a day. Unwanted accidents often…
Michael McDonald, Director of Marketing In-cabin monitoring is essential for enhancing safety, security, and the overall experience for vehicle occupants. When it comes to safety, vision-based monitoring plays a crucial role in helping to reduce potential accidents, improving emergency response, and complying with regulations in the evolving landscape of automotive technology. Specifically, vision-based systems improve vehicle safety through the detection of distracted driving and driver fatigue. Distracted and drowsy driving…
By Michael McDonald, Director of Marketing Image processing and vision-based sensors are fast becoming critical components for driver safety features. Reading traffic signals, street signs and lane divide colors accurately is essential to a vehicle’s ability to process information for safety features like automated braking or vehicle lane assist. But, before we can dive into emerging image processing technology, let’s look at how color filter arrays first began. Back to…
By Chet Babla, SVP Strategic Marketing With driver assistance and driving automation requiring multiple sensors and real-time processing, ADAS electrical and electronic system architectures will be challenged by scalability. The societal benefits of greater driver, passenger and road user safety are well understood and documented, and indeed governments are increasingly regulating the need for advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) in new vehicles (see example). In addition to the obvious human…
Advanced low-cost solution offers high performance, power, and ultra-compact size for mass deployment by Michael Wittmann, Senior VP of Marketing In our previous blog, we discussed multiple sensor modalities, including light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and their relative merits for automotive applications. LiDAR is an increasingly important enabling technology for modern vehicles as automakers seek to improve safety and driving automation features. Automotive LiDAR was initially targeted at fully autonomous…
by Chet Babla, SVP of Strategic Marketing Understanding the Sensor Modalities Enabling the Uncrashable car In our last blog, “In Pursuit of the Uncrashable Car,” we identified the need for various sensor modalities to gather data. This data is critical to processing and enabling timely decision-making and ultimately triggers automated safety response actions such as braking, steering, or driver alerts. As advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and driving automation technologies…
