ASML 2025: Beautiful with a Sprinkling of Risks
ASML has a lock on the semiconductor manufacturing equipment market, with a monopoly in the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography segment and more than a 50% market share in all other sectors.
When Teslas Crash, ‘Uh-Oh’ Is Not Enough
Today’s regulatory structure has given Tesla license to peddle the illusion of self-driving and tout its beta software experiments on public roads as a breakthrough in automotive technology.
Podcast: Nvidia-Arm Deal Blatantly Infringes Antitrust Law
We asked Mike Feibus if those who oppose the Nvidia/Arm merger have a Plan B up their sleeve.
Nvidia and Arm: Perils of Tech Platform Acquisitions
If consummated, Nvidia’s deal to buy Arm will instantly give one competitor great power over a critical technology platform. Do regulators have the tools to recognize the danger?
A New Semiconductor World Imagined
The challenge posed by Nvidia – via its planned acquisition of Arm – to Intel’s x86 architecture is real and potentially unstoppable, and should not be casually dismissed.
Rest in Peace: Arm, 1990 – 2022
Draft of a funereal eulogy to be read in the event of Nvidia’s acquisition of Arm Ltd.
Like All Deals in China, Expect Strings Attached to Nvidia/Arm
The Nvidia-Arm deal idles at the intersection of U.S. politics, Jensen Huang’s promises and China’s long ambition to become the world’s tech industry leader.
With HD Radar, Arbe Robotics Pits Price vs. Pride
Arbe Robotics, a 2015 Israeli startup that went public this month through a SPAC, seemed to have a lot going for it in recent years. Today, it might be at a crossroads.

Intel, Chipmakers, and the Fear Card
By Bolaji Ojo Intel Corp. CEO Pat Gelsinger wants the EU to “take control of its destiny” by securing access to critical semiconductor supplies. He has similarly embarked upon the same mission for the United States. The effort is admirable but also misleading and fatuous. Intel is a public enterprise, not the right arm of… Read More »Intel, Chipmakers, and the Fear Card

Podcast: Testing Does Not Equal Safety
Guest: Phil Koopman, associate professor at Carnegie Mellon University We asked Phil: How do you prove safety for computer-based vehicles that depend on software? Phil responds: Testing doesn’t make you safe, it never has, and it never will. Not for software…The way you get safe is not by testing. You get there with safety engineering,… Read More »Podcast: Testing Does Not Equal Safety
U.S. Lawyers Perpetuate Regulation Myths at The Autonomous
In the realm of AV safety and regulation, a stark contrast exists between the approaches advocated in North America and Europe. The disparity was clear in two events that successively took place recently.
Sneak Preview: Debunking Industry Narrative on AV Regulation
The current autonomous vehicle industry strategy seems to boil down to “Trust us, we know what’s best,” “Don’t stifle innovation,” and “Humans are bad drivers, so computers will be better.”
That Name is More than a Game
Intel unveiled a wholesale renaming of its future process nodes in July. This might have seemed an obvious marketing trick to mitigate painful comparisons against TSMC or Samsung. But beneath the surface, the renaming reflects both a decades-old struggle and a global financial reality.
Podcast: Plastic and Beyond
By Peter Clarke In 2021 flexible IC activity crossed an interesting threshold with a circuit characterized by a 29kHz clock frequency. With leading-edge processors clocked at gigahertz frequencies you might ask, “so what?” Well the so-what is low-cost and – maybe – something more significant in the long-term. Listen to Podcast…

The Romance of the Jalopy
A nagging issue noted at the AutoSens conference is the gap between technology people and car guys. Even more confusing – perhaps even to people creating devices that might usher in a utopia of self-driving vehicles – is that some of the AutoSens crowd occupy both sides of the gulf.
Can Machine Drivers Guess Right About Us Human Drivers?
By Junko Yoshida What’s at stake?For both human and machine drivers, perception is hard. Even harder is prediction. The driver must make reasonable assumptions — guesses — about what other vehicles or pedestrians will do next, in order to forge a safe path through traffic. The question becomes: How can machine drivers guess right, based… Read More »Can Machine Drivers Guess Right About Us Human Drivers?
