Gesture Control
Read moreType of interface control using hand positions and movements and relying on either a camera or time-of-flight sensor. Main uses include hands-free infotainment control. Early developers of this technology include SoftKinetic, acquired by Sony in 2017.
GIS
Read moreA geographic information system (GIS) is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyze, manage, and present spatial or geographic data. It is typically generated in vector format and contains multiple layers of detail depending…
Graphics Processing Unit
Read moreA specialised electronic circuit designed to accelerate image and graphics processing. GPUs excel at parallel processing. As many sensors in ADAS and autonomous technologies use photonic sensors, i.e. camera, LiDAR, RADAR – these are optimally…
Head up display
Read moreA transparent display that shows information on the front windshield, allowing drivers to keep their eyes on the road, instead of having to look away toward information on the dashboard. This may be using rear…
Heterogeneous architecture
Read moreA combination of multiple types of processors — such as CPUs, FPGAs, and ASICs—working together in a complementary fashion. Such systems may adhere to a particular standard, or be defined as an open architecture model.
HIL
Read moreHardware in the loop simulation combines a system to be tested with a software representation of the platform it will eventually be joined to. These mathematical representations are referred to as the “plant simulation”. The…
Hill Descent Assist
Read moreThis feature works with your vehicle’s existing braking systems to block you from going past a certain speed while travelling downhill or on unsteady terrain. In automatic or drive-by-wire vehicles such as electric or hybrid,…
Hill Start Assistance
Read moreSystem which helps driver balance engagement of power with any negative forces affecting the vehicle, moving from parked or stopped at a junction up an incline. Sensors in the vehicle are used to detect when…
HMI
Read moreHuman-machine interface is responsible for two-way communication between a vehicle and its occupants. An HMI may incorporate touchscreen displays, voice recognition, or integration with mobile devices.
IMU
Read moreInertia Measurement Unit detects directional force such as acceleration, pitch and yaw. Typically used to augment signals from satellite navigation sensors (GPS / GNSS) when signals are unavailable (under tunnels, bridges) or need correction (atmospheric…
