Look out: Super-sensor sees around corners, promises zero avoidable deaths.
Motor Trend|September 2022
NPS wrote a paper theorizing that perceiving the environment far enough, clear enough, and early enough to eliminate roadway deaths (that is, those from avoidable crashes) requires a data acquisition and processing rate of 100 terabits per second-that's 10 million times the sensory data rate flowing from your eyes to your brain when you're not drunk or distracted.

Look out: Super-sensor sees around corners, promises zero avoidable deaths.

I've just learned it's not entirely our fault, as Homo sapiens, that we cause 95 percent of car wrecks. That's because we haven't evolved the physiological ability to both see far enough ahead and process visual data sufficiently to eliminate "accidents." I learned this when a California company called Neural Propulsion Systems (NPS) unveiled its AtomicSense Platform sensor fusion product, which it says can sense and interpret enough data to prevent crashes.

NPS wrote a paper theorizing that perceiving the environment far enough, clear enough, and early enough to eliminate roadway deaths (that is, those from avoidable crashes) requires a data acquisition and processing rate of 100 terabits per second-that's 10 million times the sensory data rate flowing from your eyes to your brain when you're not drunk or distracted.

So NPS devised a fully solid-state, system-on-chip (make that chips-lots of 'em) sensor suite to do just that, leveraging Department of Defense research. The AtomicSense system includes many cameras fused with three tech breakthroughs: digital multi-band radar, multiple input/multiple outputs (MIMO) lidar, and atomic-norm computing.

2023 Ford F-Series Super Duty

The heavy-duty truck world moves more slowly than other pickup classes, and progress comes in spurts. Take the Ford F-Series Super Duty, whose recent refresh included softer-edged styling, a new entry-level gas-fed V-8, a new high-output 6.7-liter turbodiesel V-8, and myriad small improvements like new bedside steps. Is it still basically the same truck as before? Absolutely, but it’s also a better Super Duty, however incrementally.
