China builds special highways for autonomous vehicles
China is absolutely racing to change its transport in the direction of unmanned vehicles: for this reason it is building special highways for this type of car. The new route, approximately 100 kilometers long, includes two completely dedicated lanes: the objective is to give autonomous vehicles a space adjacent to those driven by humans but with equal conditions, to better test their yield and performance. The new highway will rise between the urban areas of Beijing… Read more
Here's how 3D printing will revolutionize the concept of cars
In just a few years, 3D printing has leapt beyond its embryonic phase and has already begun to move rapidly in three distinct directions: the development of mass production systems (many goods), the development of mass production systems (many users, for home printing) and the specialization of production systems (specific printers for specific products, such as those in the construction field capable of constructing a building in a short time). It goes without saying that the most promising field of application for… Read more
Toyota sells Kirobo, a companion robot for the car
#Toyota has decided to produce and sell #Kirobo, a small "companion" #robot for drivers. In the last five years the car manufacturer has in fact invested around a billion dollars in studies on artificial intelligence and technology. The latest product will be Kirobo (which will be launched in January 2017), a robot designed to help drivers (and not just them). Kirobo will be sold directly in the brand's dealerships. The launch will take place first of all in Tokyo for almost 40 thousand yen (about 350… Read more
New floating tunnels in Norway
#Norway's new floating tunnels are truly impressive. This is a rather ambitious project: to innovate the mobility of the Northern European country. In fact, to ease ferry traffic, the authorities intend to build a series of underwater tunnels; the aim is to allow cars to move without having to deal with long and uncomfortable embarkation and disembarkation operations. They are simple tubes with a very large diameter, kept in suspension at about 30 meters deep by special floating structures anchored... Read more
Is there a secret laboratory for the iCar in Berlin?
We've been talking about the iCar for a very long time: it's the electric car that Apple is about to create. According to the latest rumors, Apple has built a secret laboratory in the heart of Berlin to develop its iCar. Faz broke the news, adding further details on the project called "Titan", revealed last year by the Wall Street Journal. In Berlin there would be around 15-20 men and women, leading exponents of the German automotive world, to create the car of the future, on the international market by ... Read more
Intel buys Italian autonomous car company
The self-driving car is certainly the future of the automotive sector; Intel also understood this, having recently purchased an Italian company to develop this project. Intel has in fact purchased Yogitech, as the Santa Clara (California) company itself announced on the official blog: “For years, Intel has been producing high-performance IoT systems that allow people and companies to make more informed decisions. Right now the industry is moving away from data automation towards a… Read more
Volvo and hololens transfigure the way of seeing the car
Do you remember the Microsoft Holodesk project and its developments? We talked about it in an article some time ago. The first practical applications of this holographic technology are arriving all over the world, and Volvo, the Swedish car manufacturer, did not wait long to embark on a path that will lead to holograms becoming an integral part of the process of choosing and purchasing a car. car. Let's just think for a moment about the immediate implications of Holodesk and its Hololens, the headset attached to it... Read more
6 bets for the future
The list of technologies under study is very long and is constantly updated: one of the latest lists of future developments that could change the world forever comes from the Institute of Ethics and Emerging Technologies, a research center founded in 2004 by a philosopher, Nick Bostrom, and a bioethicist, James Huges. The list, drawn up with the consultancy of futurologist Gray Scott, presents really interesting elements: here are the "magnificent" 6 technologies that could arrive in the near future. Age reversal… Read more
Graphene prodigies: charged electric cars in 16 seconds, now you can
If I asked 10 of you readers what in your opinion is the biggest problem that hinders the large-scale diffusion of electric cars, probably 3 of you would blame the oil lobbies (it's a sin to think badly but you're not often wrong) and 7 of you would blame conventional batteries, which take too long to charge. Well, you're all right. Graphene supercapacitors, however, are a more than concrete promise to solve the problem: they are… Read more
3 IT trends for 2014
Not all predictions and predictions are long-term: after all, I have to give someone the chance to refute what I say. If the topic is 'IT', then, it will be even easier to prove me wrong given the extreme 'elasticity' of certain situations. Yet some trends in my opinion are traced, and I am pleased to arrange them here for future reference. Here are 3 IT trends for the coming year: 1. The Cloud will be the new hardware. – All major industrial changes… Read more
Toyota ready to launch partially automatic driving cars by 2015
Toyota Motor Corporation announces that it has developed a new generation of vehicles with an advanced driver support system. The system, called AHDA (Automated Highway Driving Assist) aims to reduce the workload and concentration load for drivers on the motorway: while driving, it activates a "cooperative-adaptive" driving control which communicates with the vehicle in front and with the which follows to optimally manage the safety distance. The company is still focused on offering the… Read more
Holland drops 5 axles for the motorway of the future
We often tend to think of innovations in the field of road safety as solutions limited to cars, but a team of Dutch designers makes us understand how the road itself can also play an active role. This gave rise to a series of interesting studies to make driving safer. The Glowing Lines concept takes inspiration from the lines of reflectors that can be found here and there on European motorways, but replaces the latter with a special luminescent paint in … Read more
