AI At The Edge.
Edge computing is steadily gaining ground in the automotive industry. To carry out complex functions at the ‘localized’ controller is becoming a core strategy for future tech builders. This, instead of sending all raw data to the cloud where all the corresponding analytics algorithms are deployed.
Musing of an Engine Maniac.
It’s tough being an automobile manufacturer. Buyers want so much. And why not? Cars just keep getting better and better. You can never get too used to a good thing now; can you? We want good performance, great mileage and also refinement from the engine. All that with great looks, nice ride and good handling. But let’s just stay with the engine for this story.
Emerging trends in Variable Valve Timing Systems
Man’s quest to be mobile led to the invention of the Internal Combustion engine. It is a significant invention of our times. Throughout the century it has evolved in leaps and bounds and continues to do so today. However, the research and development is now more focused on the way the Fuel-Air mixture is delivered to the engine and how it breathes – in other words, the Engine Head design.
Solenoid actuated Valve Train (SAVT)
Man’s fascination with fast and personal transportation over land, sea and air is evident from the mention of the Flying Chariot or the “Auran Khatola” in the ancient Indian mythology and the famous Magic Carpet in the Arabian Night Tales. The Internal Combustion engine has come a long way since the Wright Brothers used one on their flying contraption, which flew 150 feet, and the day Henry Ford rolled out the first production automobile.
Powertrain Informational ADAS
Think tanks and future mobility reports have predicted an emergence of vehicle energy smart management. A broad area of technology, no doubt, enveloping the powertrain. One of the many contributors to this is realtime vehicle energy demand. This tech layer could become the future brain of the powertrain management system regardless of its internals being pistons or motor windings. Its more probable that the EV may receive the TLT – tender love and tech. So what is this got to do with ADAS?
