Dans une voiture traditionnelle à moteur thermique, le nombre de semi-conducteurs se situe entre 300 et 1 000, tandis que, pour une voiture électrique, ce chiffre dépasse facilement les 3 000. Selon les experts, la valeur des semi-conducteurs intégrés dans une voiture électrique atteignait 541 dollars en 2022 et devrait grimper à 912 dollars d’ici à 2028. C’est pourquoi les fabricants européens envisagent l’avenir avec optimisme, notamment sur le marché chinois.

The two organizations share a common vision for creating a software stack with the flexibility to meet the current and future needs for automotive and have aligned on this through their active participation in SOAFEE, an industry-wide initiative that is driving greater collaboration in standardized software development across the automotive market.

This owner was directed to bring their Lucid Air to a service center to receive the missing updates, and that’s when the trouble started. “Got a call today that the telematics module in the car is not communicating with the server, and they cannot repair/flash/update it even at the service center, it has to be replaced. It is also not a warranty item, it is roughly $1400,” read the post. The user then asked if anyone else had faced the same problem.

Modern vehicles increasingly rely on high-performance computing systems, such as powerful system-on-chips (SoCs) to manage complex applications like autonomous driving, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), in-vehicle infotainment systems and connected vehicle services. These systems require immense computational power, which is often provided by specialized hardware accelerators such as GPUs, NPUs and FPGAs.

Software-Defined Vehicles (SDVs) are integrating advanced software solutions with traditional automotive hardware, creating new possibilities for the industry. This webinar will address the current state of SDVs and explore the future opportunities they present for automotive leaders.

The most powerful capability is the holistic approach of the digital enterprise to create digital twins in the automotive industry. The comprehensive digital twin represents all aspects of today’s vehicles: software, electronics, mechanical and electrical wiring systems. It becomes possible to predict the performance of the production unit and the products themselves, both during development and then across a vehicle's lifetime. Comprehensive digital twins ensure OEMs produce what customers expect in terms of individualization and drive concepts.

Dès février 2024, Ampere s’est imposé comme un acteur innovant sur le marché des véhicules électriques, alors que Renault Scénic E-Tech electric remportait le prestigieux prix de « voiture de l’année ». Un véhicule 100% électrique développé sur la plateforme AmpR Medium et assemblé au sein d’ElectriCity, le pôle industriel d’Ampere situé dans le nord de la France. Cette distinction par le jury COTY lors du salon international de l’automobile de Genève a confirmé la capacité d’Ampere à produire des véhicules attractifs et compétitifs sur le marché européen.

I have yet to see a Zoox vehicle in the concrete jungle—but they’ll be hard to miss once I do spot one. Unlike Cruise or Waymo vehicles, which utilize a fleet of traditional yet higher-end SUVs, Zoox’s industrial design is decidedly unique. Zoox cars look more akin to carriages, with the seating arrangement inside such that people face inwards whilst moving. What’s more, Zoox cars have no driver’s seat; per D’Onfro, “with its four-wheel steering, the boxy little shuttle technically has no back or front and can drive in either direction.” Given the nonconformist design, two questions Zoox must answer, accessibility-wise, is how easy it is to get in and out and whether its cars accommodate people who use wheelchairs.

Augmented reality in automotive industry is leading a technological revolution by enhancing the way drivers interact with their vehicles and the driving environment. Imagine visualizing your dream car in 3D at a showroom or technicians using AR glasses to overlay repair steps onto engines. This technology is transforming mobility, with exciting applications and benefits already in play and even more advancements on the horizon.

 Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. today announced a multi-year technology collaboration with Google aimed at advancing digital transformation in automotive. Building on a long-standing relationship, the companies will leverage complementary technologies from the Snapdragon Digital Chassis™, Android™ Automotive OS and Google Cloud to produce a new standardized reference platform for the development of cockpit solutions using generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI). Underpinning the delivery of this framework will be Google AI, to create Gen AI-enabled in-car experiences like intuitive voice assistants, immersive map experiences, and real-time updates to anticipate driver needs, powered by Snapdragon® heterogeneous edge AI system-on-chips (SoCs) and Qualcomm® AI Hub, which simplifies deploying AI models for vision, audio and speech applications to the cockpit.

In an era where artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, perhaps no sector stands to be more dramatically transformed than transportation. The convergence of AI and automotive technology has given birth to the autonomous vehicle revolution, promising to redefine our relationship with cars and the very fabric of our urban landscapes. As we stand on the brink of this transformative era, it's crucial to examine the current state of self-driving technology, its potential impacts, and the challenges that lie ahead.

Après des débrayages organisés devant le site spécialisé dans la fabrication d’équipements thermiques et à vendre depuis le 15 juillet dernier, l’intersyndicale est allée plus loin ce jeudi 24 octobre en organisant un défilé dans les rues de la ville.

Wayve, a well-funded London-based autonomous vehicle startup backed by Uber and Softbank, will begin testing its “Tesla-like” self-learning automated driving software in San Francisco and the Bay Area. The move marks its first on-road trials outside of the UK. Wayve opened a new office in Sunnyvale, California, to support its US expansion and AI development, which is intended to allow vehicles to interact with and learn from human behavior in real-world environments. The concept, of course, is to enhance safety of autonomous vehicle to make roads safer for everyone.

L’équipementier français a publié jeudi 24 octobre des résultats trimestriels louables, légèrement en deçà des estimations. Malgré la relative bonne santé de Valeo, le climat se tend dans ses usines hexagonales. Le corps social redoute une multiplication des restructurations.

Welcome back to TechCrunch Mobility — your central hub for news and insights on the future of transportation.

T-Mobile announced in a press release that it's working with Miller Electric Company to bring fully autonomous shuttles to a three-mile strip in Jacksonville. These bus-shaped shuttles will use T-Mobile's Advanced Network Solutions (ANS) to connect to a private 5G network, as the companies say that existing standards, such as Wi-Fi, aren't as reliable or scalable as 5G.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Wednesday said the electric vehicle maker will roll out driverless ride-hailing services to the public in California and Texas next year, a claim likely to face significant regulatory and technical challenges. “We think that we’ll be able to have driverless Teslas doing paid rides next year,” Musk said on Tesla’s quarterly earnings call. He said Tesla currently offers an app-based ride-hailing service, with a safety driver, to employees in the San Francisco Bay Area.
