How close are we to autonomous cars?
In the past decade, progress continues in the development and deployment of autonomous driving technologies, as we see market leaders like Google’s Waymo have achieved the milestones in on-road testing of their self-driving fleets, and companies like Tesla announced ambitious plans to commercialise robotaxi services in geo-fenced areas by 2020.
Overcoming EV range anxiety wirelessly
The automotive industry is undergoing one of the biggest periods of change in its history as drivetrains migrate from the internal combustion engine (ICE) to electric motors. While technology development is making great strides in increasing the range of modern electric vehicles (EV), one of the greatest impediments to adoption is consumer concern about being stuck with a flat battery – the so-called ‘range anxiety’.
AI systems for applications in any industry
Applications within the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) are increasingly finding their way into almost every industry and are a decisive factor in the progress of corporate value creation. The digital transformation demands ever shorter innovation cycles from science and research as well as from technology providers, and also a new level of top performance in hardware and software, since AI applications can only be realised on the basis of ...
Student and F1 collaboration creates energy efficient cars
A team of undergraduate students enlisted the support of Formula 1 engineering experts and a global tyre company to design and build a four-seat solar powered electric car which can travel from London to the Scottish Highlands at a speed of 50mph on the same power it takes to boil a kettle.
Gearing up towards autonomous production
automatica is continuing on its growth course. The upcoming trade fair will occupy a record area of 76,000 square meters. There will be an additional hall, more than 900 exhibitors and new highlights. Munich will be the meeting place for the international automation industry from 16th-19th June, 2020.
The race for one thousand kilometre Electric Vehicles
Only a 100 kilowatt-hour battery pack is in the luxury Vision EQS concept car of Mercedes yet it will deliver increased 700km range, partly because low drag factor is now going to be taken seriously, learning from Tesla. Range sells electric cars. Long range ones sell in 100 times the numbers and have three times the resale value. By IDTechEx Chairman, Dr Peter Harrop
New lithium battery problems and solutions
With accelerating uptake of lithium-ion batteries in stationary and mobile applications, today's shortages will reoccur in the years to come for many reasons beyond too few battery factories. For more, see the IDTechEx reports, "48V Mild Hybrid and 48V Full Hybrid Vehicles 2020-2030" and "Batteries for Stationary Energy Storage 2019-2029".
High frequency composite materials for SiC and GaN applications
SMP has developed ‘All Mode’ EMC filters with high frequency stability. The High Frequency Composite Materials (HFCM) developed and manufactured by SMP are effective for frequencies up to the gigahertz range and satisfy all of the requirements to which modern SiC and GaN applications are subject.
Massive improvements make 48V the future hybrid
The 48V mild-hybrid powertrains from 25 car brands will extend factory and platform life. They rise to a flood in 2020. Most use belt-driven alternator replacements for starter, torque-assist for downsized engine, and primitive regenerative braking. The reduction in carbon dioxide emission keeps things legal as emissions laws tighten. It is quieter and uses less fuel. By Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman at IDTechEx
