## Summary

EE Times editors Brian Santo and George Leopold review the film 'The Current War,' discussing the rivalry between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse over DC and AC power, and the pivotal role of Nikola Tesla. The episode then covers French startup Prophesee, which has developed neuromorphic event-based vision sensors and raised $28 million to mass-produce its chips for automotive and IoT applications. Finally, the hosts analyze the industry split between DSRC and 5G for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication, noting Volkswagen's adoption of DSRC versus the 5G backing of BMW and Ford.
