hyundai announced that by 2025, all vehicles will be Software Defined Vehicles (SDV). The company said all newly launched Hyundai vehicles will be able to receive wireless software updates next year and plans to register 20 million vehicles. Hyundai also said it would invest more than $12 billion in “software technology that integrates hardware and software technology to enhance and internalize the functionality of mobility technology.”
EV start-up Clarity The company said it plans to produce 6,000 to 7,000 battery-powered sedans by the end of the year. Lucid announced last year that he aims to produce 20,000 cars in 2022, but problems with his supply chain made it difficult for the company to secure the necessary components, and Lucid We have lowered our production targets many times. EV startups such as Lucid Rivian It was expected to take market share from a major automotive OEM, but so far has failed to do so. Rivian recently recalled nearly all of its vehicles due to steering issues.
Stanford Researchers have unveiled an unrestrained exoskeleton boot that uses machine learning to adapt to the wearer’s movements. The device allows users to walk or run faster with less effort, which could be especially helpful for the elderly and those with mobility impairments, the researchers said.
Honda It’s powered by major investments in EVs in Ohio, including a new $3.5 billion EV battery plant in Ohio, co-invested with LG Energy Solutions. Additionally, he plans to invest $700 million to convert an existing factory in Ohio to produce EVs.
According to this recent study, large electronically animated eyes mounted on the outside of a vehicle could reduce the likelihood of traffic accidents. The eyes are designed to let pedestrians know if the autonomous system has “seen” them. (refer graph1)

polar star announced this week an electric SUV featuring 517 horsepower, an estimated 300-mile range and a price tag of around $84,000. The SUV will be produced in China next year and in the United States in 2024.
There is more to the world of autonomous driving than cars. While the industry is investing heavily in the profit-generating and life-saving potential of self-driving vehicles, there are lessons to be learned from self-driving technology for ships, tractors, delivery robots, and other vehicles. Please check this out for details.

Newly released fact sheet from White House It includes a system for labeling consumer IoT products based on cybersecurity standards. The goal is to “make it easy for American consumers to identify secure technology they can bring into their homes,” and the program’s initial focus will be on routers and home cameras. The factsheet outlines measures such as minimum cybersecurity standards for critical infrastructure, including railroads and pipelines, developing quantum-safe cryptography standards, and strengthening federal cybersecurity requirements.
Identifying hardware vulnerabilities early in the design process significantly reduces costs. This study examines how security-specific scanners working on Verilog source files can indicate portions of code that may contain MITER’s Common Weaknesses and Enumerations (CWE).
Pro-Russian hacking group kilnet It said it was behind a cyberattack that brought down websites at multiple US airports on Monday. The DDoS attack impacted multiple of his websites, including his in Los Angeles International Airport and Chicago O’Hare, but appeared to have no impact on air travel operations.
Pervasive computing
Programmable accelerator chips can simplify semiconductor design at the edge, where chips need to be high performance as well as low power, but are too expensive and time consuming to develop everything from scratch. Programmability allows these systems to stay current with algorithmic changes that can affect everything from the end device to the systems that interoperate with that device.
Apple’s new collision detection feature is causing false alarms and 911 calls on roller coasters.
Meanwhile, Meta’s newly released mixed reality headset Quest Pro features 10 advanced VR/MR sensors, spatial audio, 256 GB of storage, 12 GB of RAM and a Snapdragon XR2+ processor, making it a popular choice among gamers. gave me a shock. Listed for $1,499. Apple is expected to be Meta’s main competitor in the mixed reality market, but has yet to release anything new.
Used by an Estonian company siemensSolid Edge product development software for designing autonomous robotic bartenders called YanuYanu is featured prominently in Solid Edge 2023 announced by Siemens. It includes several upgrades along with new licensing options. “In line with our commitment to bringing innovative technologies and features to each Solid Edge release, covering everything from 3D design to advanced CAM to technical publications, we are making these features available to the community. It’s also important to evolve how we make it possible,” said John Miller. , Siemens, Senior Vice President, Mainstream Engineering Software.
Sony Released behind-the-ear hearing aids equipped with a rechargeable battery that can be used continuously for 70 hours. The announcement is the first in a series of expected announcements by the electronics company, which will be sold over the counter for the first time next week.
IoT architects and others say they can learn something from data center architects. flex logics Andy Jaros Vice President of Sales. Jaros writes about how eFPGAs can be integrated into his ASICs to improve SoC performance without fundamentally changing the chip manufacturing process or hardware/software his architecture. “Most of his SoCs today don’t take advantage of the power of FPGA-based programmable His accelerators, which means there are plenty of opportunities to significantly improve the performance of the SoC,” Jaros said. increase.
