NXP Smarter World Podcast

The pace of edge computing is advancing so fast that today’s “breakthrough” will be eclipsed a short time later by another breakthrough. While we see traces of early IoT concepts in devices we use every day, innovations in edge computing are rapidly transforming how we interact in the world around us, from our next-generation wearables and smart home assistants to advanced industrial robots and automated vehicles. In this episode, Nitin Dahad, technology journalist and editor at EE Times and Embedded.com discusses industrial and IoT edge computing trends with Ron Martino, senior vice president and general manager of the Edge Processing business at NXP Semiconductors.

In this episode of the Smarter World Podcast, EE Times Editor Nitin Dahad is joined by Charles Dachs, VP & General Manager, Secure Embedded Transactions, NXP Semiconductors, and Ramesh Songukrishnasamy, SVP and CTO at HID Global to explore UWB’s evolution from a data transfer technology to its new role as a fine ranging technology. Learn how it fits into the connectivity landscape, how consumers will adopt it, the opportunities for exciting new use cases and the importance of standardization.

Carmakers around the world are working to roll-out electric and hybrid vehicles in a competitive and profitable way against the backdrop of changing regulations and the complexity in brings. Electric vehicles need to gain the trust of consumers for range, safety and environmental footprint - while being profitable, a tall order for both disruptive and traditional carmakers alike. Join EE Times and Embedded.com Editor Nitin Dahad and NXPs Jens Hinrichsen to hear the latest.

New Car Assessment Programs (NCAP) across the world are calling for automotive radar to be used in a variety of safety applications from blind spot detection and collision avoidance to self-parking and obstacle detection. How did radar become such an important part of the ADAS landscape, how are carmakers approaching the technology and what does the future hold for radar? These are some of the questions that veteran automotive reporter, John Quain, explores with Matthias Feulner, Director of Marketing for ADAS at NXP Semiconductors.

Connected vehicles offer a lot of benefits..But as cars become more electronic in nature, more like rolling computers, the role of safety becomes critical. How will a car respond when something goes wrong in its electronic system or in a single component? That's what a specialized safety discipline called Functional Safety seeks to anticipate and protect against. This topic is the basis of our most recent NXP Smarter World Podcast, guest hosted by John Quain, automotive journalist and technology expert. John is joined by Gareth Price, functional safety manager at McLaren Applied, and Franck Galtié, director automotive functional safety at NXP Semiconductors.

The vehicle data revolution means big changes in the way automotive networks operate. Learn how the structure and role of vehicle networks is evolving to keep up with a host new features for consumers and data-driven opportunities for vehicle makers. Join guest host Sam Abuelsamid of Navigant Research and Ray Cornyn and Brian Carlson of NXP Semiconductors to get the latest insights into vehicle networks.
