Verifying the Hierarchical Structure and Freedom from Interference of Software Components (On-Demand)

Date: May 13, 2021 / Time: 2:30pm EST

In the development of high-integrity software, all interactions between components must satisfy design constraints. Hierarchical levels must not be bypassed: if the design prescribes that software layer A cannot interact directly with layer C without the intermediation of layer B, this is something that must be verified. If components with different criticalities have to coexist on the same ECU, huge savings are possible if we can prove that lower-criticality components cannot interfere with higher-criticality ones. We introduce these ISO 26262 concepts and show how static analysis greatly simplifies the detection of unwanted interactions between software components.

Will Autonomous Vehicles Ever Be Safe? (On-Demand)

Date: May 13, 2021 / Time: 3:30pm EST

The automotive industry makes use of standard processes to ensure the safety of vehicle software. The application to driver systems is understood; their use in user interface components is a relatively recent development. In driverless cars, the user interface has an increased safety role as it is the primary method of controlling the vehicle. Additional complexity is introduced by the increased power of installed SoCs. It is increasingly common for a single SoC to host driver and infotainment functions, so-called mixed-criticality systems. This presentation explores the requirements, processes, tools and technology featured in autonomous vehicle user interfaces.

Keep Your Eyes on the Road: A Guide to AR HUDs (On-Demand)

Date: May 13, 2021 / Time: 4:00pm EST

Heads-up displays (HUDs) are not new concepts.  As compute power has become exponentially more powerful over the last decade, the ability to integrate HUD data into a 3D real-world environment has become readily available to automotive OEMs and suppliers with a low-cost barrier to entry.  While the concept of Augmented Reality (AR) HUD is currently seeing significant expansion, it is not without its technical challenges. This discussion will cover the background derivation, technical definition, and the visualization of AR HUDs and their use with ADAS features to create an enhanced driving experience while minimizing driving distractions.

ADAS and the HMI, How Two Becomes One with AI (On-Demand)

Date: May 13, 2021 / Time: 4:30pm EST

The focus of AI and its vehicular applications has always been outward facing: how does the car perceive the world that surrounds it and its position within it. An area with less focus, but of equal importance is the vehicle looking inwards and how it monitors and interfaces with the driver. In this presentation, we look at the importance of flexible neural network accelerators that can power both ADAS and autonomous drive and also internal cockpit HMI functions. Within these areas we look at the use of convolutional neural networks and how they can be implemented as real-world voice-enabled HMI solutions.

Presenters: Bryce Johnstone, Director of Automotive Segment Marketing, Imagination Technologies & Andrew Grant, Senior Director Business Development, Vision and AI, PowerVR, Imagination Technologies

Automotive Optical Ethernet Reaching for 50 Gbits/s and Beyond (On-Demand)

Date: May 13, 2021 / Time: 5:30pm EST

With new challenges like automated driving or electric power trains, In-Vehicle Network (IVN) requirements are quickly evolving. The IVN has to support use cases such the vehicle data backbone, smart antennas, ADAS cameras/sensors, and displays or data loggers which demand higher data bandwidth while maintaining the reliability level required by the automotive industry. A new IVN standard is needed for multi-gigabit optical communications. This optical automotive IVN communication standard, 802.3cz, is currently under development within the IEEE and is supported by several industry-leading companies. The new standard will cover rates up to 50 Gbits/s and support several in-line connectors. The target BER is better than 10-12 with ambient operation temp from -40°C up to +105°C (AEC-Q100 grade 2) in harsh automotive environments. High reliability (15 years operation, less than 10 FIT), and outstanding EMC compliance will also be fulfilled. This presentation will cover the need standard, and detail the components needed to make this a reality.

Design More Functional Automotive Displays Using Surface Haptic Technology (On-Demand)

Date: May 13, 2021 / Time: 6:30pm EST

Despite advances, today’s touchscreens remain a vision-based window to the digital world. In automotive applications where displays are growing in size, shape, and number, the risk of driver distraction increases. Programmable surface haptics add a new tactile experience to smooth featureless screens, making it possible to find and operate controls by moving your fingers across the screen and keeping your eyes on the road. As a solid-state replacement (or complement) to traditional vibrotactile haptics, HMI designers can define exactly what controls and textures feel like. Learn how hardware, software, and HMI capabilities come together to bring these surfaces to life.
