- Testing the limits of automated vehicle safety (01/01/2021)
  
  Currently, active driver assistance (ADA) does less to assist & more to interfere, concluded an August 2020 study by the Society of Automotive Engineers that found, in 4,000 miles of driving, ADA encountered an issue, on average, every 8 miles. Particularly concerning was the inability of many systems to respond appropriately to a slow-moving vehicle.
- How next-gen IMU-based sensor navigation will enable adoption of autonomous vehicles (01/01/2021)
  
  The future of autonomous systems relies upon several strategic sensing technology advances that will enable higher rates of autonomy. As James Fennelly, Product Manager for Inertial Measurement Systems at MEMS-based sensing technology expert, ACEINNA explains here, the most significant advancement required is in the real time, constant & accurate positioning of the vehicle throughout any environmental changes.
- Case study: New mobile mesh to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 in care homes (01/01/2021)
  
  Care homes have been at the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic, suffering tragic losses among residents & staff. While the situation has improved, many residents remain at high risk & have not been able to see their relatives properly for many months.
- How distributors can help design engineers developing for the IoT space (01/01/2021)
  
  Modern design techniques have evolved substantially to allow today’s engineers to focus on their unique value add, rather than need to reinvent the wheel for every new product. And yet, it’s widely accepted that nearly 75% of Internet of Things (IoT) projects fail. And not because of overly stretched design engineers or flawed designs, but because of the business case – or lack thereof.
- Q&A: Distribution in the time of corona… (01/01/2021)
  
  The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has had a tremendous impact on how people all across the world live & work – including all those working in the electronics industry. EPDT talked to Rob Rospedzhowski, President, EMEA Sales at electronic components distributor, Farnell to ask him how his firm has fared during the pandemic – and how it has supported customers…
