Self-driving cars, wearable tech, IoT: Texas Instruments will showcase ’em all at the CES

IoT Texas InstrumentsGlobal semi conductor design and manufacturing company Texas Instruments (TI) will showcase its next–generation advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) to innovations for the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable technology, among other products at the forthcoming International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vega, USA in January.

The company said in a written statement that over 100 of cutting–edge products by it and its technology partners will be demonstrated at the show. They include:

• From headlights to taillights and all systems in between. Digital cockpit integration enabled by TI’s ‘Jacinto 6 Ex’,  a fusion between traditional infotainment, cluster, heads-up display, and informational ADAS (surround view and front camera applications).

• A battery-free sensor network for the operation of a wireless sensor system that could support up to 30 nodes. Powered by ambient energy, the demo will feature a ‘live’ network visualiser and show direct node-to-hub communication.

• TI’s DLP products, the 3-D printer, that employs the DLP Structured Light Software Development Kit to enable high accuracy and high-speed 3-D printed objects.

• The Haptic Bluetooth Kit that includes the DRV2605 haptic driver with LRA and integrates haptics, power management and wireless connectivity. This includes haptics’ ability to provide updates to users through non-visual means, instead relying on a sense of touch.

At the event, experts will also be speaking about self-driving cars. Autonomous vehicles are expected to generate a lot of buzz at CES this year. Fernando Mujica, director of TI’s autonomous vehicles lab, Cruise CEO Kyle Vogt and Dr. Dirk Hoheisel from Bosch will present their take on the “Obstacles on the Road to Self-Driving Cars” on January 7, 2015 at the exhibition.
