CES 2025 coverage

Automotive insights from CES 2025

OEMs are shifting from installing black box solutions that specialized functions in the more conventional domain architecture to a zone architecture and a function-agnostic processing backbone where each node handles location-specific data. Along with this trend, there is a push towards optimizing sensor functions, fusing multimodal input data with ML for contextual awareness. A tour of several booths at CES 2025 showed some of the automotive-oriented solutions.

CES 2025: Day 2 Wrap and Interview with EdgeCortix’s CEO

A constant theme at CES 2025 this week has been around the deployment of AI in all kinds of applications, how to drive as much intelligence as possible to the edge, sensor fusion and making everything smart. We saw many large and small companies developing technologies and products to optimize this process, aiming to get more “smarts” or performance with less effort and power.

CES 2025: Approaches towards hardware acceleration

It is clear that support for some kind of hardware acceleration has become paramount for success in breaking into the intelligent embedded edge. Company approaches to the problem run the full gamut from hardware accelerated MCUs with abundant software support and reference code, to an embedded NPU.

CES 2025: It’s All About Digital Coexistence, and AI is Real

CES 2025 commenced in Las Vegas, Nev., on Sunday at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center for the trade media with the Consumer Technology Association’s annual tech trends survey and forecast. Plus, there was a sneak preview provided to some of the exhibiting companies at the CES Unveiled event.

Integration of AI in sensors prominent at CES 2025

Miniaturization and power efficiency have long defined sensor designs. Enter artificial intelligence (AI) and software algorithms to dramatically improve sensing performance and enable a new breed of features and capabilities. This trend has been apparent at this year’s CES in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Software-defined vehicle (SDV): A technology to watch in 2025

Software-defined vehicle (SDV) technology has been a prominent highlight in the quickly evolving automotive industry. But how much of it is hype, and where is the real and tangible value? CES 2025 in Las Vegas will be an important venue to gauge the actual progress this technology has made with a motto of bringing code on the road.

CES 2025: Wirelessly upgrading SDVs

SDVs rethink underlying vehicle architecture so that cars are broken into zones that will directly service the vehicle subsystems that surround it locally, cutting down wiring, latency, and weight. Another major benefit of this is over-the-air (OTA) updates using Wi-Fi or cellular to update cloud-connected cars; however, bringing Ethernet to the automotive edge comes with its complexities.

CES 2025: Moving toward software-defined vehicles

TI’s automotive innovations are currently focused in powertrain systems; ADAS; in-vehicle infotainment (IVI); and body electronics and lighting. The recent announcements fall into the ADAS with the AWRL6844 radar sensor as well as IVI with the AM275 and AM62D processors and the class-D audio amplifier.

CES 2025: Day 1 Recap with Synaptics, Ceva

EE Times and AspenCore staff are on-site at CES 2025, providing expert coverage on the latest and greatest developments at one of the largest tech events in the world.

CES 2025: A Chat with Siemens EDA CEO Mike Ellow

Siemens showcased its latest PAVE360 digital twin solution this year at CES 2025, lowering the barrier between design efforts that are typically siloed. EE Times had an opportunity to chat with Siemens EDA CEO Mike Ellow about how this approach to design is relevant for the semiconductor industry—especially considering the recent uptick in using AI tools at every level of a system to dynamically assess the trickle up/down effects of design adjustments. 

CES 2025: An interview with Si Labs’ Daniel Cooley

At the forefront of many of the CES wireless solutions is WiFi’s newest iteration (WiFi 6), BLE and BLE audio for their already-established place in consumer devices. A chat with Silicon Labs CTO Daniel Cooley illuminated the company’s presence and future in IoT and the intelligent edge.
