Energy Management 4.0 - How the e-car generates its own electricity for free

In the past, energy management in vehicles was mostly about dealing with electricity consumers as efficiently as possible. Today's electric cars are radically changing that. AI enables them to find out for themselves when the driver(s) will need how much power in the battery and, at the other times, to earn money independently as participants in...

How much CO2 does your car radio emit?

We're travelling along the motorway to the accompaniment of our favourite song. The voice assistant warns of traffic congestion ahead – and then the telephone rings, and we use the hands-free system to take the call. Everyday scenes that make one thing clear: in-car audio systems are becoming increasingly important. Radio, telephone and media...

Child Safety in the Car – Strategies for Optimum Euro NCAP Ratings

When a car is being bought in Germany, the most important criteria are not so much innovative technology or styling, but rather reliability and above all safety. This applies in particular to the second row of seats, which is where children often sit. For vehicle manufacturers, this is an enormous challenge, as there is a wide variety of child...

Safely through the fog: how SmoFod makes driver assistance systems more reliable

Vehicles that navigate their way through everyday traffic on their own, while the driver works on a laptop or relaxes in the back seat: These images are still dreams of the future. Even if no fully autonomous vehicle has yet been approved for use on the roads, car manufacturers are increasingly installing driver assistance systems as standard....

Qualitative prototyping in aerospace engineering also accelerates software developement

In 1927, Charles Lindbergh flew his plane "Spirit of St. Louis" the 5,800 kilometres from New York to Paris in 33 long and lonely hours. Not quite 50 years later, Concorde covered the same distance in an incredible three supersonic hours. Flying is something we take for granted today, and we seldom take the time to appreciate the extremely complex...

Performance Engineering – When computer hardware scaling reaches its limits

Performance is often equated with speed. In sports or Formula 1 racing, for example, a razor-thin lead of two and a half tenths of a second - i.e. 0.25 seconds - can make all the difference between victory and defeat. And it is not just on the race track that speed is one of the key criteria for success. Performance also plays a decisive role in...
