Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADASs) have become a salient feature for safety in modern vehicles. They are also a key underlying technology in emerging autonomous vehicles. State-of-the-art ADASs are primarily vision based, but light detection and ranging (lidar), radio detection and ranging (radar), and other advanced-sensing technologies are also becoming popular. In this article, we present a survey of different hardware and software ADAS technologies and their capabilities and limitations. We discuss approaches used for vision-based recognition and sensor fusion in ADAS solutions. We also highlight challenges for the next generation of ADASs.

Autonomous vehicles are on the horizon and will be transforming transportation safety and comfort. These vehicles will be connected to various external systems and utilize advanced embedded systems to perceive their environment and make intelligent decisions. However, this increased connectivity makes these vehicles vulnerable to various cyber-attacks that can have catastrophic effects. Attacks on automotive systems are already on the rise in today's vehicles and are expected to become more commonplace in future autonomous vehicles. Thus, there is a need to strengthen cybersecurity in future autonomous vehicles. In this article, we discuss major automotive cyber-attacks over the past decade and present state-of-the-art solutions that leverage artificial intelligence. We propose a roadmap toward building secure autonomous vehicles and highlight key open challenges that need to be addressed.

Smartphones, wearables, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices have already revolutionized many aspects of our everyday lives, enabling ubiquitously connected machine-to-machine, machine-to-human, and human-to-human communication towards the realization of smarter environments in our homes and across the domains of medical care, transportation, energy grids, industry automation, and defense. This article surveys the landscape of energy management solutions for mobile and IoT devices, to maximize performance and quality-of-service within the varying resource-constraints of these devices.

Silicon photonics is an emerging paradigm for designing energy -efficient and high-performance communication backbone for manycore chips. This article presents a survey about designing photonic on-chip infrastructure.

Cloud service providers are distributing data centers geographically to minimize energy costs through intelligent workload distribution. With increasing data volumes in emerging cloud workloads, it is critical to factor in the network costs for transferring workloads across data centers. For geo-distributed data centers, many researchers have been exploring strategies for energy cost minimization and intelligent inter-data-center workload distribution separately. However, prior work does not comprehensively and simultaneously consider data center energy costs, data transfer costs, and data center queueing delay. In this paper, we propose a novel game theory-based workload management framework that takes a holistic approach to the cloud operating cost minimization problem by making intelligent scheduling decisions aware of data transfer costs and the data center queueing delay. Our framework performs intelligent workload management that considers heterogeneity in data center compute capability, cooling power, interference effects from task co-location in servers, time-of-use electricity pricing, renewable energy, net metering, peak demand pricing distribution, and network pricing. Our simulations show that the proposed game-theoretic technique can minimize the cloud operating cost more effectively than existing approaches.
