Too small. Too unpleasant for passengers. Zoox, bought by Amazon, makes what it calls a robotaxi, but it looks like a robot shuttle and is a bad compromise of both. As the IDTechEx reports on each explained, a robotaxi is usually an adapted car.

The world’s automobile manufacturers are responding to ever stricter emissions regulations by increasing the proportion of electric vehicles (EVs) in their ranges. Global EV sales have surged in recent years and data from 2020suggests that EVs are beginning to take market share from traditional, internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles.

At this week’s virtual Consumer Electronics Show 2021 (CES), Panasonic North America CEO Michael Moskowitz, announced the next generation innovations and emerging technologies that will be driving our society forward through these current challenging times and beyond.

Researchers from COSIC, an imec research group at the University of Leuven in Belgium, have discovered major security flaws in the keyless entry system of the Tesla Model X.

Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) are an interim product. PHEV cars are particularly valuable to traditional automotive companies buying time as they figure out how to make desirable battery-electric cars the end game. Manufacturers continue to launch many PHEVs but these are more complicated than alternatives, and large recalls are occurring.

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused 2020 to become the pivotal year as the automotive industry goes through a once in a hundred-year transformation. Overall, we expect global car sales in 2020 to crash by roughly 20%, yet plug-in electric cars (battery-electric and plug-in hybrid) to grow by north of 21%, showing the remarkable resiliency of electric vehicles against the backdrop of economic downturn.

In this article, Vinay Ravuri, CEO of EdgeQ, a 5G systems-on-a-chip company, shares his 2021 predictions around enterprise 5G adoption, 5G geopolitics, the rise of open network systems, and AI-enabled automation bringing manufacturing back to US.

Thermal management is a critical consideration for many technologies and markets, fromelectric vehicle battery packsto data centres and5Gdevices. Several news stories, announcements, trends and acquisitions in 2020 have highlighted the need for effective thermal management in these emerging technology areas.

The trolley problem is a classical philosophical dilemma that is used to illustrate the moral conundrum surrounding how to program autonomous vehicles to react to different situations. However, this particular thought experiment may be just the tip of the iceberg. Here Kostas Poulios, Principal Design and Development Engineer atPailton Engineering, takes a closer look at the ethical dilemmas of fully autonomous vehicles.

Tesla became the most valuable car manufacturer for many reasons from glamour to having the longest-range vehicles. The IDTechEx report, 'Electric Vehicles: Land, Sea and Air 2021-2041' gives the big picture. A long-range battery-electric car BEV sells for 60% of its original price after three years but a short-range one retrieves only 20% regardless of purchase price. Indeed, Tesla does not sell cheap. Consider the United Kingdom.
