Over the past decade, engineers have increased the capability of sensors and actuators to enable advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) features such as automatic braking systems, collision warning, and traction and stability control. These features are now standard equipment in many new cars and trucks.
Going forward, high-voltage systems—e.g., electric vehicles (EVs) and distributed solar-energy applications—are also being equipped with devices able to sense their environment quickly and reliably, playing a crucial role in helping accelerate the adoption of renewable-energy sources.
