In this another geek moment, Jamie Pederson demonstrates how an accelerometer measures the free falling remote control car. He gives us an overview of the available sensors that can be used in ...

DEAR CAR TALK: I just bought a new Hyundai Ioniq 5 electric car and love it. I use the highest level of regenerative braking, so the car slows down quite a bit every time I lift my foot off the ...

Miniature smart sensor combines 3-axis digital accelerometer with embedded microcontroller, operating as sensor hub that runs sensor-fusion algorithms, together in ultra-compact package called iNEMO-A ...

How do piezoelectric accelerometers — vibration sensors — work? The force caused by vibration or a change in motion (acceleration) causes the sensor's mass to “squeeze” contained piezoelectric ...

Introduction Have you ever played a video game with a controller that used motion controls? Do you ever wonder how sometimes a smartphone seems to "know" if you're moving? How do these electronic ...

And it has to do with the rate of the car's deceleration. So, your Hyundai has an accelerometer that measures deceleration in meters per seconds squared. And before the car's deceleration rate hits ...
