What It IS
Technical VisionThe architectural essence — what makes this technology work
An autonomous vehicle's power architecture where every actuator — steering, braking, throttle — connects through ternary power stages. The neutral state guarantees that electrical faults produce no unintended motion. Drive-by-wire made trustworthy through three states.
Abstract
Active power factor correction using ternary switching and boost converter topology, improving utility power quality and reducing harmonic content.
