The Sport Turismo is Porsche’s latest Taycan variant, and it has a new glass roof which can be darkened at the touch of a button—without blinds—for a new user experience. It’s an electrochromic setup called “Sunshine Control”: liquid crystals are contained in a film using PDLC (polymer-dispersed liquid crystal) technology. When current flows through them,…
At last week’s CAR HMI Europe online conference, Fraunhofer IOSB (Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation) automotive human factors expert Fredericks Diederichs gave a presentation about advanced occupant monitoring, including the KARLI project. The goal of the KARLI project is to develop an adaptive, responsive and level-appropriate interaction between humans and vehicles of…
Aeroacoustics is the study of noise generated by turbulent fluid motion, including aerodynamic forces interacting with surfaces. This is how engineers and designers identify the origin of a noise, understand its effects, and model solutions to attenuate or eliminate the noise—or at least tune it so it’s more pleasant. These techniques can be applied to…
Lumentum has presented the application of their VCSEL technology into DMS. The company already presented their technology in the context of Lidar, in the last DVN Lidar conference, back in November 2021. Moderate levels of autonomous driving require that the driver be fully engaged when the vehicle is in motion. By collecting driver and occupant…
