Remote-controlled edge applications

Remote-controlled edge technology offers value across many applications, including lighting, battery management systems (BMS), advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), car access and body motors. Table 1 lists these applications, and the benefits of remote-controlled edge nodes.

Table 1 Various remote-controlled edge-node applications and why they are a good fit.
Application Why Remote-Controlled Edge Nodes?
Headlights Requires only a single low-level protocol (UART, SPI, or both)
Ambient lighting
BMS
Radar Numerous nodes throughout the vehicle provide hardware scalability opportunities
Ultrasonic sensing
Car access
Seat modules Load drivers now integrate more diagnostic features
Door modules
