• The on-board analysis is where artificial intelligence comes into play and is a crucial element to the proper functioning of autonomous vehicles.
• The AI chips used by automotive vehicles are found in centrally located microcontrollers (MCUs), which are, in turn, connected to peripherals such as sensors and antennae to form a functioning ADAS.
• The most important of the avenues listed above is the latter, driver assistance, as the robustness and effectiveness of the AI system determines the vehicle's autonomous driving level.

• And public health messaging around when and how to be screened for skin cancer has become somewhat confusing.
• In April 2023, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, an independent national panel of science experts, provided updated recommendations on skin cancer screening following a systematic review of existing research.
• The task force concluded that the evidence does not support annual widespread skin screening of adolescents and adults, but that catching cancers at the earliest stages reduces the risk of death from skin cancer.

How common is skin cancer in the US?

• Skin cancer affects about 6 million Americans yearly, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
• Basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma – collectively known as keratinocyte cancers – account for more than 97% of skin cancer cases, but invasive melanomas cause the most deaths.
• Unlike normal cells, skin cancer cells grow without constraints, acquiring the ability to invade down into the dermis.

What are the main causes of skin cancer?

• Both light- and dark-skinned people can get skin cancer, but light-skinned individuals have a greater risk.
• Those with light skin, light or red hair, or with numerous moles, are more susceptible to skin damage and severe burns by ultraviolet rays.
• People who use tanning beds are at a higher risk of skin damage and skin cancers.

What is the debate behind screening?

• The ongoing debate revolves around whether more screening reduces the death toll from melanoma.
• This increase may be due in part to more emphasis on early detection.
• More melanomas have been found, particularly those identified at the earliest stage, also known as stage 0 or melanoma in situ.

What did the task force base its new recommendations on?

• The task force reviewed current and past data on the major types of skin cancers.
• The expert panel relied in part on the results of a large public skin cancer screening program in Germany.

When should you get a skin exam?

• Luckily, there are many online guides on detecting suspicious skin lesions.
• Whenever you have a concern about a spot on your skin, seek medical advice.
• This includes those who are older or susceptible to getting skin cancers, skin cancer survivors and immunocompromised people like organ transplant recipients.
• In response, nonprofits like the American Academy of Dermatology, the Skin Cancer Foundation and The Sun Bus provide resources for free exams.

How can you minimize the risk of skin cancer?

Strategies that limit UV exposure will reduce skin cancer risk. This includes avoiding sunburns by:
• Apply these products 15-20 minutes before heading out into the sun and reapply every two hours.
• UV light is most intense between the hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
• These measures can keep your skin healthy into your golden years by reducing skin aging and cancer caused by ultraviolet light.
