Hello,

White hat hackers have broken into a number of vehicles via the infotainment system, enabling CAN access to steering and braking. Awareness is the first step to fixing such security holes and we've got you covered with a contributed article on the subject.

Also, Murray shows us how Distributed Aperture Radar can increase image resolution in ADAS systems with a typical solution that's available.

With over 50 years building electronics stuff, I find myself smacking my forehead for not thinking of Vishay's interesting way of folding the leads on their axial device to transform it to a surface mounted, self balancing component, that stands the device body off from its circuit board. Spiffy!

Bill Wong's back with another quiz to test, and increase, your software knowledge - great trivia for breaking the ice at parties with some nerd that has caught your eye, lol. I've been tasked with also coming up with a quiz, so you might see one from me next week.

enjoy,
