Teradar enters paid evaluation program with German automaker for terahertz vehicle sensing technology

by

Teradar, a developer of terahertz (THz) vision technology, has entered a paid technical evaluation program with a major German automotive manufacturer to assess its sensing technology for future advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving platforms.

The evaluation will focus on scenarios where existing sensing technologies such as cameras, radar, and lidar can struggle, including adverse weather conditions and complex edge cases involving small objects at long range.

As part of the program, the automaker will invest engineering resources and provide access to specialist testing facilities to evaluate Teradar’s Summit terahertz vision sensor under controlled rain and fog conditions.

How Advanced Collision Repair Technology is Transforming Vehicle Restoration

by

Modern cars now use smart electronics, sensors, and strong materials. Because of this, fixing cars after a crash is now a high-tech job. It uses robots, smart test tools, and special machines that work with great care.

These new ways are making repairs better and helping keep people safe. They also make it faster and smoother to get cars back on the road. [Read more…] about How Advanced Collision Repair Technology is Transforming Vehicle Restoration

Bosch begins delivering hardware to Kodiak as autonomous trucking moves toward production scale

by

Kodiak AI, a provider of physical AI-powered autonomous vehicle technology, has announced that Bosch, a global technology and services giant, has begun delivering critical hardware components to Kodiak as part of the companies’ autonomous driving technology strategic collaboration.

Kodiak is actively testing and validating camera samples from Bosch and has completed early prototype sensor integrations into Kodiak SensorPods, the company’s proprietary hardware modules that house its autonomous driving sensors. Kodiak is also actively evaluating vehicle actuation components from Bosch.

Since announcing their collaboration in January 2026, Bosch and Kodiak have moved quickly from strategic alignment to hands-on engineering execution. [Read more…] about Bosch begins delivering hardware to Kodiak as autonomous trucking moves toward production scale

ADAS Calibration Systems Cost Up to $20,000: Why Sensor-Driven Windshield Repairs Are Reshaping the Automotive Aftermarket

by

A modern windshield is often a mounting surface for forward-facing cameras, rain and light sensors, and brackets that hold them in a precise position. When the glass comes out, that geometry can change.

Even tiny differences in glass thickness, curvature, or bracket placement can move a camera’s view enough to affect how advanced driver assistance systems interpret the road. That is where windshield calibration enters the picture, and it is now tied directly to ADAS after many glass jobs.

Shops that work on windshield repair and replacement are dealing with more than adhesive cure times and chip fills. Some vehicles will show a warning if a sensor is offline, but physical misalignment can be silent. The car may drive fine while lane keeping, automatic emergency braking, or traffic sign recognition behaves late or inconsistently.

Kodiak to scale autonomous trucking hardware and sensor solution in strategic agreement with Bosch

by

Kodiak AI, a provider of AI-powered autonomous driving technology, has entered into an agreement with Bosch, a global supplier of technology and services, to collaborate on and scale the manufacturing of a production-grade, redundant autonomous platform.

This platform contains the specialized hardware, firmware, and software interfaces that enable the Kodiak Driver, Kodiak’s AI-powered driver, to automate trucks – either on a vehicle production line or through an upfitter.

Don Burnette, founder and CEO, Kodiak, says: “Advancing the deployment of driverless trucks and physical AI not only requires robust autonomous technology, but also manufacturing experience and a robust supply chain in order to achieve true scale.
