Use of Video Technology To Improve Automotive Safety Becomes More Feasible with BlackfinTM Processors

Dozens of processors control every performance aspect of today’s automobiles, and not a single feature of the “vehicle experience” remains untouched by technology. Whether it’s climate control, engine control, or entertainment, there has been constant evolution of capabilities in manufacturer offerings over the last decade. One of the forces behind this evolution, the rapidly increasing performance-to-cost ratio of signal processors, is about to have a profound impact on another critical automotive component—the safety subsystem.
