Where Innovation Meets Imagination
Scania has conducted a test in which an autonomous made a complex manoeuvre on a relatively busy road.
Autonomous vehicles and advanced driver assistance systems need robust and precise positioning to enable reliable operations.
This is especially important in the early transitional phase of the technology, when other vehicles around it will not be automated. [Read more…] about Scania tests autonomous truck in complex manoeuvre in traffic
Visteon, an automotive cockpit electronics technology company, has launched what it describes as its “breakthrough” microZone display technology.
The virtual dashboard element is said to offer offers “significantly higher graphics performance” than traditional LCD displays.
This new, patent-pending high-dynamic range display technology offers high contrast and brightness and wide color gamut that enables automotive displays to achieve parity with consumer mobile devices with life-like imaging capability. [Read more…] about Visteon shows off new dashboard technology
Automotive systems supplier ZF has unveiled a new driving environment, or “cockpit”, as car interiors are increasingly called these days.
The companies say the new “Safe Human Interaction Cockpit” enables human drivers and electronic drivers enhances to work better together.
This “seamless” integration enables “enhanced safety” and easy operation of complex driving systems, wether they are human-controlled or autonomous, say the companies. [Read more…] about ZF unveils ‘SHI’ new cockpit
Has it ever happened to you that you were all set to go for work or a meeting, and suddenly, you couldn’t find your car keys?
Well, we have all been there, and it can be very stressful, especially when you are in a hurry. So, instead of panicking and wasting more time you one should call a locksmith in such a situation.
But that is not the only situation where you could need a car locksmith. Let’s have a look at some possible inconveniences where a car locksmith can become your lifesaver. [Read more…] about 4 Situations When You Need To Hire a Car Locksmith
Advancements in artificial intelligence have brought autonomous ships onto the horizon
In the world where tech giants such as Google, Tesla, and Uber are eager to see driverless cars roaming on the street, the time is close when autonomous ships would dominate oceans.
After conquering land and air, autonomous vehicles (AVs) would soon dive into the seas.
Thanks to the collaboration of Finferries and Rolls-Royce the world has seen a glimpse of the bright future of autonomous ships, making it certain that the marine world would definitely see automation taking over the waterways. [Read more…] about Autonomous ships ahoy!
Volkswagen has provided a glimpse into a future in which the search for charging stations for electric cars comes to an end. (See video below.)
Volkswagen Group Components’ mobile charging robot takes over this task – and drives to the electric car completely autonomously.
After it is started via app or vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communication, the mobile robot drives itself to the vehicle that needs charging and communicates with it. [Read more…] about Volkswagen unveils concept robot for electric vehicle charging
Automotive systems maker Denso is partnering with chipmaker Qualcomm to develop what they call “next-generation cockpit systems”.
Though they use the word “cockpit”, they probably mean vehicle dashboards rather than aircraft cockpits.
In recent years, the amount of information provided by a vehicle to the driver has increased due to advanced driver assistance functions using cameras and sensors, as well as various entertainment functions. [Read more…] about Denso partners with Qualcomm to develop ‘next-generation’ vehicle dashboards
Automotive systems manufacturer ZF says its advanced driver assistance system technology is the “most affordable” in the industry.
Automated driving for personal passenger vehicles continues to be an important advancement in the quest toward “zero accidents” for all automotive companies.
ZF is concentrating on Level 2+ semi-automated systems that deliver advanced safety and convenience functions – and along with its partners has developed the most affordable Level 2+ system in the industry. [Read more…] about ZF claims its ADAS technology is ‘most affordable’ in the industry
Autonomous buses and robotic shuttles reflect “strong societal trends”, such as ageing populations who are less mobile and the record numbers of people moving to cities, according to a new report.
These are among the findings of a study by IDTechEx, Robot Shuttles and Autonomous Buses 2020-2040, said to be the first in-depth report on the subject.
Robot shuttles are an important new, reconfigurable form of transportation for goods and people that may even function as mobile offices, workshops, restaurants and more. [Read more…] about Autonomous buses and shuttles reflect ‘strong societal trends’, says report
A 5G-based “intelligent” – meaning autonomous – heavy duty truck developed by Chinese auto giant SAIC Motor made its debut at Shanghai Yangshan Deepwater Port, the largest cargo port in the world.
The demonstration was conducted as part of SAIC exhibition at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, which took place in Shanghai, China recently.
The SAIC 5G truck completed a task through the use of 5G and artificial intelligence technologies, which is the first time such an operation was successfully conducted in the world. [Read more…] about SAIC showcases first autonomous truck at Shanghai port
