KTM X-Bow R

I t’s three years since bike manufacturer KTM branched out into cars, launching the X-Bow at the 2008 Geneva motor show. More than 500 brave drivers have been found to buy the X-Bow, ensuring the project has survived the recession and brought further evolution. Which brings us to this: the 2011 X-Bow R, an even faster version of the sports car. It’s a similar, pared-back two-seater, only this time the X-Bow R brings an uprated version of the Audi 2.0-litre four-cylinder. It’s the turbocharged TFSI engine, boosted to 296bhp and 295lb ft of torque. That’s more than in the donor Audi S3 and TT-S, which produce no more than 268bhp. Thank a larger turbocharger, reprogrammed Bosch engine management and new fuel injectors. And the engine changes are just scratching the surface of a series of upgrades to build this fastest ever KTM with four wheels. So the KTM X-Bow R is quicker than most Ferraris? Yes. Prod the throttle and the R simply flies towards the horizon. Ther...

ADAS-Advanced driver assistance systems works

As advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) continue to evolve, the integration of different sensors has become increasingly important. Among these sensors, lidar stands out as a key technology for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of ADAS functions. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of fusing lidar in ADAS functions and its applications. What is Lidar and How Does it Work? Lidar is a remote sensing technology that uses laser light to measure distances and create high-resolution 3D images of the environment. In ADAS applications, LiDAR sensors are installed on vehicles to sense their surroundings and collect information about the location, speed, and shape of objects in the environment. Benefits of Fusing Lidar in ADAS Functions Improved Object Detection and Recognition Lidar sensors provide accurate and detailed information about the vehicle's surroundings, making objects more reliable and familiar. Unlike cameras or radars, LIDAR can detect objects even i...
