At GTC, April 12th to 16th, Lanner will discuss how AI can be structured in a networked approach where AI workloads can be distributed within the edge networks. The company will start from the NVIDIA AI-accelerated customer premise equipment over the aggregated network edge, to the hyper-converged platform deployed at the centralised datacenter.

6G Communications will become one of the largest technology investments. It is currently in the healthy first stage and is promising to widely deploy by around 2030. Meanwhile, 5G to ‘Beyond 5G’ awaits.

Manufacturing a car is both highly complex and expensive. It requires thousands of parts, including between 60 and 100 high-quality sensors, with many built into the engine to ensure that the owner can identify and prevent possible issues before they result in breakdowns and expensive repairs. Sensors are being deployed throughout the vehicle to meet evolving security and efficiency standards as well as to address environmental standards. Simon V...

In 2019, the US undersecretary of defense for research and engineering predicted that the army would have driverless vehicles before they were commercially available. More recently, Elon Musk has claimed that Tesla will have the technology for fully autonomous vehicles within a year. So, who is winning the race for Autonomous Vehicle (AV) technology? Here, Roger Brereton, Head of Sales atPailton Engineering, surveys the AV landscape in the milita...

In the late 1880s, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla began a conflict known as the war of the currents. The two inventors and industrialists battled over whether Direct Current (DC) or Alternating Current (AC) should be used to distribute electricity. Ultimately, AC’s ability to work with transformers to easily increase and reduce voltage to transmit electricity across long distances won, and has reigned supreme for more than 100 years.

With a sustained growth of electric vehicles globally, environmental upsides of second life batteries have driven EV battery reuse market share. Second life of used EV batteries will potentially represent an invaluable business model for OEMs and equipment providers. As sustainability becomes paramount for stakeholders, including regulators, investors and end-users, automakers have upped investments in used EV batteries.

The electric truck market in the US is primed for huge growth. Having largely lagged behind China and Europe in electric commercial vehicle deployment, the transition to zero-emission vehicles in this sector now seems set to begin in earnest. The IDTechEx report, 'Electric Truck Markets 2021-2041'contains twenty-year regional forecasts for the battery electric and fuel cell truck markets.

Connectivity within the car is placing software at the core of automotive innovation, and in advancing the next level of autonomy. Speaking at the recent embedded world 2021 DIGITAL, Pedro Lopez Estepa, Automotive Director at RTI, addressed some of the issues. Joe Bush reports.

In July 2020, Elon Musk announced his plans for Tesla to achieve 'level five' autonomy by 2021. This gives the company little time to convert all car models to self-driving. While not all companies can promise to transform how we drive at such a rapid rate, autonomous vehicles are becoming more commonplace, both in consumer and industrial sectors, because of their many benefits. Here Ian Barnes, Head of Business at SITECH UK & Ireland,explore...

The lithium-ion batteries in Electric Vehicles (EVs) present very different material demands at the cell- and pack-level compared with the Internal-Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles they replace. Whilst ICE drivetrains heavily rely on aluminum and steel alloys, Li-ion batteries utilise a lot of materials such as nickel, cobalt, lithium, copper, insulation, thermal interface materials, and much more at a cell- and pack-level.
