Omnitron Sensors, which makes MEMS sensor chips, has raised $13 million to create inexpensive sensors for self-driving cars. If it works, we could say goodbye to those big spinning domes atop ...

Whatever your thoughts about how quickly autonomous vehicle technology will move forward, there is little doubt that it will need to rely on better and less expensive sensor technology than we have ...

The secret to safer self-driving cars might be this tiny radar device. The post This low-cost orange-sized sensor could be ...

Tesla is known for rolling out pretty nifty features across over-the-air updates, but to ensure the safety of small children, it's asked the Federal Communications Commission for help. Specifically, ...

Modern cars rely on a dense web of sensors to manage everything from fuel delivery to collision avoidance, and when one fails, the result can range from a minor annoyance to a four-figure repair. I ...

Autonomous vehicles being developed by the likes of Google’s Waymo and GM’s Cruise utilize a suite of complex sensors that feed a computer detailed information about the car’s surroundings. Some of ...

Autonomous cars may seem cool, but when the temperatures really drop they can start to suffer. Although these self-driving vehicles may currently struggle under snowy conditions, a team at MIT’s ...

Researchers at IMDEA Networks Institute, together with European partners, have found that tire pressure sensors in modern cars can unintentionally expose drivers to tracking. Over a ten-week study, ...

A future "Apple Car" is likely to include sensors to allow it to be self-driving, and some of those sensors need a window or notch to allow them to work through the plastic or fiberglass of a vehicle ...
