Introduction

Driven to massive progress and innovation in SoC techniques and massive AI incorporation, a dramatic trend towards central processing is observed.  For vision systems this has been the trend and has led to intelligent central units and simple camera heads.  Can we expect the same path in automotive Radar? Assesing digital modulation, interference mitigation and emerging innovation. Assessing advances in software, security and higher frequency solutions. Is it time for radar to replace ultrasonic sensors for parking? Considering cost, size, field of view and blind spot mitigation. Considering interface options, including SerDes and Ethernet. How will AI impact systems and at what signal processing layer.  Are de facto, or industry standards emerging for interfaces and MMIC formats? Understanding cost and performanec trade-offs for 4x4, 6x6, 8x8 MMICs.

Workshop Goals

    • Assessing the Impact of Centralized Architectures on ADAS Systems
    • What Role Will AI Play in ADAS and AD?
    • Exploring ADAS Innovation and Progress:  Will Radar Follow the Path of Vision Systems?
    • Considering High-Speed, Asymmetric vs. Symmetric In-Vehicle Network (IVN) Technologies, Including SerDes and Ethernet
    • Understanding Evolving Software and Security Opportunities and Challenges

  6. What is the dress code?

    Business casual suggested. No ties, please!

  7. How will handout materials be provided?

    For ALL IWPC members:

    All IWPC members are invited to submit materials to be included in the online workshop folder in the IWPC Research Library. This should NOT BE SALES MATERIALS. Rather, we suggest it contain technical information about your technology as it relates to the workshop topics.

    For all companies who will be making a presentation at the Workshop:

    You are invited to submit an advance copy of your presentation, complete with graphics and illustrations.  Please use PowerPoint 16:9 format and embed .mp4 videos if you have them.  Please do not use .wmv, .avi or other video format, .mp4 only.  No proprietary markings please.  Do not include any pages or images that require going online or have security requirements.  Everything needs to be embedded in the file and unprotected.  The laptop that will display the presentations during the workshop is not connected to the internet so external links to YouTube or anywhere else will not work.  All content must run locally in PowerPoint.

    These materials will be included on the IWPC website Research Library for member access in PDF format.
