Currently, the development of information and AI technology is bringing about a significant shift in the way cars are made. During this period of transformation, the concept of the Software-Defined Vehicle (commonly known as SDV) has appeared, and car manufacturers are dramatically changing the way they build cars in line with this concept. Furthermore, the recent boom in generative AI is opening new paths for autonomous driving technology. This includes enhancing autonomous driving technology using LLMs (Large Language Models).

Avec l'IoT automobile, les véhicules deviennent des machines intelligentes, capables de collecter et d'analyser de grandes quantités de données provenant de diverses sources, telles que des capteurs embarqués, des données de trafic externes et même des modèles de comportement des conducteurs. Ces données peuvent être utilisées pour fournir des informations en temps réel, des alertes de maintenance prédictive et des services personnalisés adaptés aux besoins individuels.

Are you ready for AI in cars? You should be! Because the era of AI cars has already started. Vehicle AI is reshaping how we drive, offering enhanced safety features, autonomous capabilities, and personalized driving experiences. As technology continues to evolve, AI in cars promises to revolutionize transportation, making journeys safer, more efficient, and more enjoyable than ever before, and here is how.

As part of its strategy to deliver “top-tier” fleet management solutions while ensuring data security and privacy, internet of things (IoT) and connected transportation solutions provider Geotab has announced an integration of its European-based fleet management solutions with BYD Trucks Europe, a part of leading electric vehicle manufacturer BYD.

After more than a full year of plug-in electric vehicle ownership, through multiple seasons and scenarios, now seems like a great time for some reflection and sharing. It’s been an interesting and illuminating experience, filled with learnings (yes, even experts learn new things!) and fresh perspectives on the day-to-day intricacies of driving electric.

Volvo's much-anticipated entry into the compact electric vehicle (EV) market, the EX30, has hit a speedbump. Launched earlier this year, the EX30 has been plagued by widespread software issues that have left early adopters frustrated and forced Volvo to scramble for solutions.

When electric cars started becoming mainstream, their fans thought it was amazing that these vehicles would get new features with over-the-air (OTA) updates. Some of these supporters and investors crave the next update as they salivate for a new car. At first, I thought it was pretty interesting, but there's nothing like time to show you the full picture. It all boils down to control—or your lack of it, in this case.

Most drivers have probably noticed that there are often little, innocuous plastic covers or plugs on their cars' dashboards or center consoles where one might expect to find a button. We don’t give them much thought because they blend into the vehicle’s interior décor. But they also serve a vital purpose; they act as placeholders to address “what if?”

Volvo Car AB is recalling all of the almost 72,000 units it has made of its new flagship model — the fully electric EX30 — due to a software issue. The automaker’s shares slumped as much as 3.5% in early trading in Stockholm on news the vehicles may have an error in their center screen that causes the speedometer to go into test mode when the car starts. To fix the glitch, an over-the-air software update is required, Volvo said in a statement June 10.

Le géant chinois des voitures électriques a dévoilé ce mardi une nouvelle motorisation hybride rechargeable capable, selon lui, de rouler de Munich à Madrid sans être rechargée ni faire le plein. Deux modèles de véhicules BYD vont en être directement équipés tout en gardant des prix très bas.

A new crop of early-stage startups — along with some recent VC investments — illustrates a niche emerging in the autonomous vehicle technology sector. Unlike the companies bringing robotaxis to city streets, these startups are taking their tech off-road.  Two recent entrants — Seattle-based Overland AI and New Brunswick-based Potential — are poised to get a first-mover advantage on this segment of autonomy. 

According to the disclosure, 53,038 stateside Nissan employees – presumably past and present, since it has a current staff count of around 21,000 – had their social security numbers stolen after "a criminal threat actor" compromised Nissan's external VPN, shut down "certain" Nissan systems and demanded a payment.

Soutenus par les autorités, les industriels chinois misent sur les fonctions intelligentes de conduite, très demandées par les automobilistes. Une stratégie qui pourrait s’avérer gagnante sur le long terme.

Senators reportedly state that several major automakers have admitted to sharing sensitive location data without a warrant. The list includes Toyota, Mercedes-Benz, Mazda, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, and Subaru. The senators added that Nissan, Subaru, Toyota, BMW, Volkswagen, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, and Kia admitted that they just need subpoenas, which do not need a judge's approval, before disclosing location data to government organizations. The senators noted that Volkswagen's statement requires a warrant for more than seven-day location data.

Most AR solutions, the release added, have trouble anchoring AR content to the real world. Basemark said its solution includes “advanced localization and motion tracking mechanisms” to make sure AR content is always anchored correctly to real-life objects and appears in the correct position in the driver’s field of view.

Grâce à la technologie Drive Pilot, Mercedes est donc devenue le premier constructeur au monde à mettre en vente une voiture véritablement autonome sur le marché américain.

The state could set the standard for autonomous vehicle regulation, but in the process could push away Cruise, Waymo, Zoox and others

The software-defined vehicle (SDV) and AI cars market is set to be worth over US$700 billion by 2034, representing around 20% of the global car market, according to IDTechEx’s report ‘Software-Defined Vehicles, Connected Cars and AI in Cars 2024-2034. That sum can be sourced from several areas, such as monthly connectivity subscriptions, commission from in-vehicle payments, and one-time software upgrades. Thanks to improvements in-car connectivity, onboard hardware capabilities, and a global shift in consumer preferences toward subscription models, the software-defined vehicle market is set to grow at compound annual rate of 34% between 2023 and 2034
