Autonomous vehicles are more often in the news for what they've done wrong rather than what they've done right. But how is the AI behind these machines being trained, and how are vehicle architectures changing to support this? And will there still be a need for the types of ECUs used in vehicles today, or will we just have supercomputers on wheels?

In episode #15 of Elektor Engineering Insights, Stuart Cording talks to Giancarlo Cutrignelli of Eurotech and Peter Gliwa, founder of Gliwa Embedded Systems.

This show was sponsored by Espressif, creator of the ESP32-C3 (espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-c3). This single-core Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 (LE) microcontroller SoC is based on the open-source RISC-V architecture. It strikes the right balance of power, I/O capabilities, and security, thus offering the optimal cost-effective solution for connected devices. For powerful AI acceleration, you should consider the ESP32-S3 (espressif.com/en/products/socs/esp32-s3). With the same wireless features, it’s designed for AIoT applications thanks to its powerful AI acceleration and reliable security features. It also has added support for vector instructions in the MCU, speeding up neural network computing and signal processing workloads.

Finally, in our prize draw, someone won a portable tablet oscilloscope!
