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 …

OpenGMSL is an effort to turn Analog Devices' Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL), a proprietary automotive SerDes used since 2008 to carry camera, display and sensor data over coax or shielded twisted pair, into an open, multi-vendor standard. The OpenGMSL Association, a non-profit consortium, was announced in June 2025 to publish the GMSL2 and GMSL3 based specification, license its essential patents on open terms and run mandatory compli…

Image courtesy: MIPI Alliance/Various LiDAR and RADAR can use the MIPI Camera Serial Interface 2 (CSI-2) because CSI-2 is, at heart, a packet protocol with generic and user-defined data types, not only a pixel pipe. The sensor's front end or controller packs its samples, detections or point cloud into CSI-2 long packets, sends them over a D-PHY or C-PHY link (or over a SerDes such as MIPI A-PHY when the sensor is metres away from the pro…

Image courtesy: GuardKnox The automotive Ethernet ecosystem is the set of standards and industry groups that bring Ethernet into the car. IEEE 802.3 writes the physical layer standards (100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, 802.3ch multi-gig and the asymmetric camera link project 802.3dm). The OPEN Alliance promotes adoption and writes the test and interoperability specifications. For high-speed camera and display links, two SerDes families compete: the o…
