AutoSens Europe hosted its annual conference in Barcelona this October, returning with a co-hosted event with InCabin Europe for another year.
The three-day event offered a varied programme of in-depth tutorials, expert-led roundtables, and an exhibition floor showcasing the latest innovations and advancements in ADAS technology.
On Wednesday 8th October, five leading AutoSens partners took part in a joint press conference, discussing their latest developments in automotive technology.
Key topics included the integration of AI and machine learning into ADAS systems, as well as the need to futureproof software for new safety regulations presented by Euro NCAP.
rFpro joined the press conference to discuss its ongoing partnership with Sony Semiconductor Solutions, announcing that Sony’s next-generation camera sensor technology will use rFpro’s AV elevate simulation platform.
The two companies have already developed a successful technical collaboration since 2023, initially integrating high-fidelity sensor models into rFpro’s simulation software.
AV elevate is an advanced simulation programme, designed for tuning, training, and testing ADAS and AV perception systems. The partnership with Sony has enhanced the accuracy of virtual sensor development testing, helping reduce the industry’s reliance on real-world data collection. This allows the development of limitless testing scenarios, allowing for safer, faster, and smarter testing away from the real road.
Matt Daley, Technical Director at rFpro, joined us at the conference and said, “It’s fantastic to see our relationship with Sony grow from technical collaboration to real-world application. They’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with image sensor technology, and AV elevate gives them the capability to demonstrate this earlier and more cost-effectively. This is exactly the kind of innovation we built AV elevate to support.”
AutoSens Europe was joined by OpenGMSL, the open standard advancing high-speed, low-latency communication in next-generation automotive systems. During the conference, the team discussed the unprecedented industry adoption of its software, with membership expanding rapidly, validating the importance of creating an open standard based on globally adopted technologies.
OpenGMSL announced its recent partnership with Sony Semiconductor Solutions and Valeo as promoter members. Additionally, further global OEMs are also in the pipeline to work with OpenGMSL, demonstrating the rapid expansions of the ecosystem.
Paul Fernando, President of the OpenGMSL Association, said, “The response we’re seeing underscores the industry’s desire for an open standard based on a globally adopted technology.”
“OpenGMSL uniquely addresses the needs of both ADAS and infotainment systems, delivering a scalable and future-proof standard that OEMs, Tier 1s, and technology partners require.”
intoPIX, the leading provider of low-latency image and video compression, joined the AutoSens Europe conference to announce its latest developments within the automotive vision space.
The presentation included the announcement of its new JPEG XS and TicoRAW technologies, built on Lattice Superconductor’s low-power FPGA platforms. This next-generation solution allows Tier 1 manufacturers and OEMs to integrate ultra-efficient image compression into its ADAS and in-vehicle systems. This minimises bandwidth, power consumption, and latency while delivering exceptional quality.
TicoRAW compresses sensor data at the source, reducing dataflow and preserving critical features, to further ensure AI-based perception and safety. Its sustainability helps lower overhead and power consumption, contributing to a greener, more efficient vision system. Additionally, TicoRAW is based on JPEG XS RAW, ensuring standardisation of raw sensor data.
JPEG XS ensures visually lossless quality imagery with sub-millisecond latency. It enables real-time video transmission, while reducing the complexity of implementation. Its simple integration minimises implementation and makes it easy to deploy at scale, having already been used across industries as a replacement for uncompressed video in real-time pipelines.
Justine Hecq, Head of Automotive & Machine Vision at intoPIX, joined the conference and said, “By combining Lattice’s efficient FPGAs with our TicoRAW and JPEG XS technologies, we provide OEMs with a unique solution to scale performance while overcoming design constraints.”
At AutoSens Europe, LIPS Corporation, a global leader in robotics vision platforms and edge AI Solutions, revealed its next-generation of automotive 3D ToF camera modules. The LIPSedge® T225 and T235 modules, alongside the upgraded LIPSense™ Body Pose 7.1.0 solution, were unveiled at this year’s conference, highlighting an enhanced precision for driver- and occupant-monitoring systems.
These new solutions contribute to strengthened safety standards and user experience within automotive. The high-precision 3D ToF cameras leverage onsemi ToF sensors and Lattice FPGA for robust, low-latency depth sensing, with human-centred, AI-powered skeleton tracking that monitors occupants for fatigue, distraction, and posture analysis.
The software ecosystem is compatible with ROS, OpenCV and NVIDIA Driveworks, allowing for easy integration and accelerating development for OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers.
Luke Liu, CEO of LIPS Corporation, spoke at AutoSens and said, “As global demand for in-cabin safety continues to rise, LIPS is committed to providing OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers with real-time, reliable solutions powered by advanced 3D vision and AI perception technologies.
“With the T225/T235 camera modules combined with our Body Pose AI engine, we enable fatigue detection, gaze tracking, distraction monitoring, as well as passenger presence detection and child safety alerts, ensuring comprehensive safety for both drivers and occupants.”
Axonne took to AutoSens Europe to announce its new Cyton™ Automotive Multi-Gigabit Ethernet Transceiver, Bridge and Media Converter for sensors.
The product is designed to meet the growing demands of automotive and robotics industries, offering enhanced performance, security, and energy efficiency for in-vehicle Ethernet networks and sensor connectivity.
The Cyton™ Transceiver is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3ch and includes a unique capability to bridge MIPI CSI-2 data directly to multi-gigabit Ethernet, using IEEE 1722. It also supports key features including Energy Efficient Ethernet (EEE), MACSec for secure communications, Precision Time Protocol (PTP) and generalised PTP (gPTP) for time synchronisation, and integrated power delivery.
These advanced capabilities enable high-speed, low-latency, and secure communication between automotive sensors, cameras, and processors. This real-time raw data transport is critical for autonomous vehicles, robotics, and AI/machine learning workloads.
Dr. Adrian Koh, Head of Business Development at Axonne Inc., said, “With the automotive industry rapidly advancing toward connected, autonomous, and software-defined vehicles, the demand for high-performance, secure, and energy-efficient Ethernet solutions is greater than ever. Our new Cyton™ Transceiver provides the critical infrastructure needed to enable next-generation vehicle E/E architecture.”
Conclusion
AutoSens Europe 2025 highlighted new advancements in both external and internal automotive technologies, including ADAS sensors and supporting infrastructure. The integration of artificial intelligence and machine learning within automotive ADAS is highlighting the development for fast, secure, and low-powered systems across the industry, which was evident from the presentations at this year’s conference.
