Making a Dumb Road, Smart #CES2020
Replacing passive lane reflectors with connected devices will transform highways from dumb to smart, promises Sharar Bahiri, Founder, Chairman & CTO of Valerann. Improving highway safety is the driving force behind Valerann’s quest to see their devices installed on highways around the world. An Active Device Instead of a Passive Reflector Their solar-powered units include…

Telecom Techniques for Autonomous Sensing
A full-stack autonomous sensing platform for ten percent the cost of conventional methods is what Perceptive promises. Their path to this dramatic cost reduction is to apply both principles and components of modern telecommunications. Similar to a modern wireless network, fiber optic cables carry laser and radar signals between small, inexpensive antennas and a central…

The Adjustable High-Beam and More #CES2019
Improving vehicle headlights for people will also improve the ability of autonomous vehicles to navigate the road. Kishore Ahuja, Senior Vice President of North American Light, Inc, discusses and shows how they are creating headlights that dynamically and automatically react to its environment (e.g. automatic brightness/dimming) and adjusts to the contours of the road (swivels…

Viodi View – 05/07/19
Moderating a panel is an amazing honor and incredible learning opportunity, as it provides a direct conduit to a group of experts on a particular topic. I had this privilege at the recent NTCA Business & Tech conference (stay tuned for a future ViodiTV interview summarizing that panel). Equally, it is a huge honor to…

Sensors Galore & More #CES2019
Passive and active sensors that detect low-frequency (audio) to the invisible (Radar, Lidar and Thermal) to cameras, will be central to creating autonomous vehicles that yield safer driving. Similarly, outward communications, whether via dynamic signage, audio blasts or some other means, to the humans walking, riding or driving the streets is critical for mobility machines…

Hidden Sensors, Smart Driving #CES2018
To paraphrase Author C. Clarke, when the smart sensors that will make autonomous driving possible slip into the background, mobility will become magic. The concepts that North American Lighting (NAL), a Koito Group Company, displayed at CES2018, suggest that by the early to mid-2020s, driving will be magic. In the above interview, Kishore Ahuja, Vice…
