When it comes to next-generation ADAS innovations and higher levels of vehicle automation, an almost infinite number of images and point-cloud frames must be annotated in a way that is fast, affordable, and at scale. Time, cost, and quality factor into this process and are among the primary challenges when realizing ADAS and automated driving functions that require validation via high volumes of annotated data.

While consumers may not understand all the jargon, quirks, and idiosyncrasies of the automotive industry, their interests are piqued once they have a basic definition of a connected car and its potential benefits. However, that interest only extends so far, as consumers view certain connected car features and capabilities as more valuable than others.  

This realization is among the key findings in a body of research from Salesforc...

Connected cars are forecasted to make up 95 percent of all vehicles on the road by 2030, with each one generating an estimated 25 gigabytes of data per hour – as much data as it would take someone to stream nearly 600 hours of music. How such data may be leveraged for new revenue channels through personalized, value-added features is a prime area of focus for the automotive industry.

Consumer trust is one of the most significant pieces of the ADAS puzzle. Although the value of consumer trust with regard to ADAS is well acknowledged, it's no less important, especially as technologies like DMS enter the picture. 

What is the link between consumer trust and the fully optimized synchronization of ADAS and DMS? When the external and internal sensors are on the same page, communicating in tandem with the intent to ke...

Daily traffic volumes have rebounded from pandemic lows in 2020, but perhaps not surprisingly, traffic and pedestrian fatalities have risen in tandem. Maybe also not surprisingly, unsafe driving behaviors like speeding, texting, and operating under the influence continue to impact these statistics. Among the questions are why people engage in risky behaviors behind the wheel and what countermeasures can be implemented to prevent su...

As the world moves towards an electric vehicle revolution, the need for certified technicians to maintain the charging infrastructure is greater than ever. For EVs to reach their full potential, consumers must have complete faith and confidence in the charging infrastructure. Like how consumers think nothing of a gas pump when they pull up, building that same level of trust with charging stations is imperative.

Vehicles with all-wheel drive can provide more traction and stability, but how exactly do these systems achieve that? In an oncoming era of electrification, what are the differences and synergies between traditional all-wheel drive systems for gasoline-powered cars and e-drive systems? When we see terms and phrases like torque transfer, traction motor, and inverter, what do they mean? And what, if any, is the relevance of all-wheel...

The latest body of research from the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety found that drivers who use ADAS features grow comfortable with the technology over time, but the degree of that comfort could raise potential concerns. In essence, drivers who engaged with common ADAS features began to lower their overall attention to the driving task as the study went on. In this solo episode, AutoVision News Radio host Carl Anthony recaps and ...

Frank Meguiar, Jr. made his first bottles of furniture polish in 1901 with an egg beater, working at night to fill orders for the next day. By the 1960s, Meguiar's Mirror Glaze was the go-to choice for car manufacturers and dealerships, especially for auto show presentations. Mirror Glaze made show cars shine to the point where attendees asked where they could get it, leading to the creation of the Meguiar's consumer line in 1973.
