Super-Reliable Inertial Sensors for Smart Cars - ACEINNA OpenIMU330 Module Packs Triple-Redundancy

Anything automotive has to be hi-rel, and never more so than now, with everyone scrambling to produce autonomous vehicles. Along with all the cameras, lidar, radar, GPS, V2X communication, and whatever other sensor arrays your next car will have, it’ll also have a number of humble accelerometers. They’re there to supplement the car’s spatial awareness. GPS is fine for relatively coarse-grained navigation, and cameras provide real-time awareness of surroundings, but inertial navigation is finer, more precise, and nearly foolproof. When the GPS signal fails and the cameras are blinded by oncoming headlights, the IMU will still be there to guide you. https://lnkd.in/gEHKEtX hashtag#automotive hashtag#IMU hashtag#ACEINNA hashtag#automation hashtag#autonomousCars hashtag#autonomousvehicles
