While regulation is useful as an enabler for technical advancement and technology diffusion, it is difficult to achieve this in practice for CAVs
The first weekend in February 2020 saw the running of the Bathurst 12-hour event in the V8 Supercars series, Australia’s most popular racing class. The same weekend in 2019 saw the Brabham BT62 set the fastest time ever for a closed-wheel vehicle around Bathurst, Australia’s most famous racing circuit. So just how fast was that lap, and how did Brabham’s dynamicists achieve it?
Continued investment in EV and CAV technologies are key 2020 trends driving increasing R&D costs, says engineering consultancy Horiba MIRA, which also expects further industry restructuring to prioritise R&D funding, as well as collaboration between start-ups, major OEMs, the supply chain and governments to prioritise new growth areas
Hot Form Quench (HFQ) technology can enable faster, less expensive high-volume automotive OEM production of lighter weight vehicle parts. The RACEForm project explains how it has developed an innovative aluminium manufacturing process project validated for high-volume automotive OEM applications
The technology on show at CES 2020 promises to drive architecture transformation in vehicles, bringing disruption and opportunity
As a society, we are often too quick to adopt emerging technologies without considering the security implications – whilst manufacturers often neglect to build security by design into vehicles and other connected devices. All this leaves new tools and technologies wide open to attack – with connected cars at particular risk, given the dangers associated with everyday driving
The advent of the internet and artificial intelligence has unlocked a whole new field of progress in the auto industry. See what the future holds for the automotive industry through a fantastic series of infographics
The UK Government’s announced £300m of funding for connected and autonomous vehicle (CAV) projects is unlikely to establish the country as a leader in CAV technology; however, it will be well positioned to become a global hub for CAV testing and regulatory development
As we continue to celebrate the life and achievements of legendary vehicle dynamicist, John Miles, let’s go back to 2004 when he advised us to ‘forget so-called tomorrow’s technologies’
