Fifth-generation mobile networks, an umbrella terms for upcoming telecommunications standards expected to deliver 10 Gbps and ultra-low latency. Likely to enable more fluid over-the-air updates, vehicle to vehicle (V2V, vehicle to infrastructure (V2I) and vehicle to everything (V2X) communications.
Adaptive Cruise Control automatically adapts the vehicle speed to maintain safe distance from the vehicle in front. ACC can accelerate and brake a car autonomously. With the help of a radar sensor, camera or lidar, the system maintains both the driver’s chosen speed and a programmed safe distance to the… read more

Consortium of companies aiming to develop open standards around enhancing ADAS systems with data from navigation systems.
Automatic Emergency Braking monitors the proximity of vehicles in front, detecting potential collisions towards the front. Braking is automatically applied to avoid or reduce the collision effects. If a radar or video camera sensor detects an obstacle ahead of the moving car, the system prepares the braking system for emergency… read more
