Tech: Porsche Taycan Aerodynamics Explained
In these videos on Porsche Taycan Aerodynamics, we’ll take the car from the studio to the street to compare tuft movement to simulation data.
Tech: Biomimetic Engineering Is Evolving ADAS
Biomimetic engineering is the emulation of the models, systems and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex problems.
Tech: Don’t Believe These 5 Plug-In Hybrid Myths!
In this article, we’ll dispel five common myths on PHEVs that BEV-only fans may want you to believe.
Opinion: Why Software Is the Key to Developing Safe Autonomous Vehicles
Radar has emerged as a market-proven solution that can be enhanced with smart software that has the potential to deliver better visibility at a far lower cost than competitive hardware solutions for autonomous vehicles.
Opinion: Will Self-Driving Cars Eventually Repossess Themselves?
If you were leasing a self-driving car and fell behind on payments, could it repossess itself?
Tech: New Technology Reduces Diesel Emissions
Tula Technology’s dDSF may take the already quite clean (especially compared with engines of just a little more than a decade ago) heavy-duty diesel engines to a level that reduces smog-producing emissions while increasing fuel economy and yet not losing any performance. The technology study was announced last month by Cummins, the largest heavy-duty engine manufacturer, and Tula, a technology innovator in Silicon Valley that has become a supplier to OEMs.
Tech: Coastdown Testing
A coastdown test is one of the most common tests in the automotive industry. It is a way of measuring the mechanical and aerodynamic resistance that acts on a vehicle.
Safer and Self-Driving Cars Now on Roads
By 2020, you will be able to own a car with advanced safety features helping avoid collisions, preventing you from drifting into the next lane, providing valet parking and allowing you to touch an “autopilot” button to have the car drive itself.
Tech: High/Low Temps Drain Your EV Range
EVs can lose more than 40 percent of their battery performance during the cold of winter–a pretty staggering amount.
Tech: Autonomous Vehicles Are Going to Require a New Brain
Automakers will have no choice but to reimagine their current product and development frameworks and apply advanced AI and connected technologies, an idea referred to as neural manufacturing, to meet the demands of the increasing competition and transition the auto industry is facing.
