Although ultrasonic sensors have been around for several decades, their popularity in sensing applications continues due to their capability, flexibility and relatively low cost. Products like ...

Ultrasonic sensors measure the distance between a target and the sensor using high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to humans. The process is simple: the sensor emits ultrasonic waves, which ...

According to the National Safety Council (NSC), as many as 40,000 people died in motor vehicle crashes in the U.S. in 2016, the highest total in more than a decade. Among the main causes were speeding ...

Ultrasonics refers to signals that are above the human hearing span (>20 kHz), and usually in the 40- to 70-kHz range. These signals are used like radar—they’re radiated toward a target and reflected ...

Valeo has been granted a patent for an ultrasonic sensor designed for vehicle distance detection systems. The sensor can be installed with others, receiving and modulating data signals through supply ...

I recently met Dr. Dave Horsley, CTO and co-founder of Chirp Microsystems. This is a company that was created in 2013 after incubating with Skydeck at Berkeley and the government-based SBIR program.

Tesla has spent years arguing that a camera‑centric approach to driver assistance can match or surpass the performance of ...
