Night-Time ADAS Testing: A Ray of Light for FIR Image Sensors in Automotive?

By James Hodgson | 28 Sep 2023 | IN-7086

In May 2023, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) that would set out requirements for the fitment of Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) systems on passenger vehicles and light trucks, with a final decision expected soon. In order to define the best technology solution, the automotive industry must look closely at the testing protocols that are being proposed by NHTSA, in order to deliver a compliant system within the smallest possible cost envelope. The inclusion of very low light testing opens up new possibilities for Far Infrared (FIR) image sensors in the automotive market, but only if costs can fall significantly.
