The transportation industry is a big part of the global economy, especially the economy in the USA. Currently, the transportation industry is really expanding and tracking companies play a big role in that expansion.
As you’re probably aware, a large vehicles such as trucks and semi trucks are extremely important as they ensure that the goods are transported across vast distances on time for stuff new line
However, these large vehicles also pose a threat to road safety. As you may have noticed in the last couple of years the frequency of trucks on the roads has increased drastically and this has also increased the risk of accidents.

The results of AAA’s annual automated vehicle survey show that while there is still a high level of interest in partially-automated vehicle technology, attitudes toward fully self-driving vehicles have become increasingly apprehensive.
This year there was a major increase in drivers who are afraid, rising to 68 percent as compared to 55 percent in 2022. This is a 13 percent jump from last year’s survey and the biggest increase since 2020.
AAA believes automakers must be diligent in creating an environment that promotes the use of more advanced vehicle technologies in a secure, reliable, and educational manner. This includes the consistent naming of vehicle systems available to consumers today. [Read more…] about Be afraid. Be slightly afraid: Drivers feel ‘increasingly anxious’ about autonomous cars
NXP Semiconductors, the market share leader in automotive radar according to Yole Intelligence, has introduced what it says is “a new industry-first” 28nm RFCMOS radar one-chip IC family for next generation ADAS and autonomous driving systems.
