Special Reports
From electronic mirrors to predictive perception: how cameras, silicon, connectivity and AI are reshaping the intelligent vehicle. Automotive cameras have moved from simple reversing aids to the main source of meaning in ADAS perception: lanes, signs, traffic lights and road users. Over five overlapping generations they went from one camera serving one function to many cameras feeding a central AI platform alongside radar and LiDAR. The next …

Automotive electronics work as one control loop: sensors measure what is happening in and around the car, microcontrollers and processors decide what to do, vehicle networks carry the data and commands, and actuators and power electronics carry out the decision. In an electric vehicle the same electronics also convert and manage the energy that moves the car. No single part is useful on its own; reliability comes from designing the whole chain t…

An optical power meter measures how much light arrives at a point in a fibre link, using a photodiode that turns optical power into an electrical current, and shows the result in watts or dBm. Paired with a stable light source it also measures optical loss in dB, which is how installers prove a link is within its budget. Accurate results depend on setting the right wavelength, using clean connectors, choosing the correct reference method and usi…

Semiconductor Manufacturing
Originally published on LinkedIn . Advanced packaging is now one of the main ways the semiconductor industry improves system performance. As transistor scaling slows and gets more expensive, the gains increasingly come from how dies are split, stacked and connected inside one package. That makes packaging a design decision taken at the start of architecture work, not a step at the end of manufacturing. Packaging is no longer a footnote in sem…
