A hardware solution that allows Artificial Intelligence algorithms to run more efficiently is what Thinci promises with its Graph Stream Processing (GSP) computing architecture. Shawn Holiday, Thinci’s Senior Director of Product Marketing, explains that Thinci’s founders, who are veteran GPU designers, devised a new approach to graphics processing; one that reduces the need for memory […]
One of the many features of the new smart phones from that fruitful Cupertino-based company this week was the addition of wireless charging, eliminating the need for power connectors and cords. For technology geeks, the underlying resonant magnetic induction technology, that is the magic behind wireless charging isn’t new, as it has been part of […]
Combining a classic style, with the advantages of an electric car without a $70k price tag, is what the Shockwave Motors Defiant promises. Interviewed at the IDTechEx conference, Shockwave Motors founder and designer, John McMillian, discusses the features of this three-person, three-wheel around-town vehicle. With a standard range of 80 to 100 miles and a […]
The rapid advancement of autonomous vehicle technology is thanks to a confluence of factors, such as low-cost sensors (thanks smart phone revolution) and the ongoing price/power/computational performance improvements for microprocessor and graphic processing units. These tools are enabling the practical application of machine learning and creating the electronic brains necessary to make the seemingly infinite driving […]
Nvidia’s president and CEO, Jensen Huang, wowed the crowd at this week’s GPU Technology Conference (GTC) with technology advancements and ecosystems that will have an impact that ripples through many industries. There were the hardware announcements, such as the DGX-1V, which, according to Huang, provides the equivalent of 400 servers in 3 rack units for […]
Who will run the autonomous mobility services of tomorrow? It may be the entities that are forming car-sharing services today. And, according to Alex Thibaut of Vulog, those entities are a varied bunch, ranging from automobile clubs, car manufacturers, energy conglomerates,insurance companies and local start-ups. From the mobile app to vehicle access to the backend, Vulog […]
Near-empty buses, low-frequency service and the resulting poor fare recovery are the hallmarks of too many public transportation systems. Using a combination of smaller, electrified vehicles with built-in autonomy, next future transportation, Inc. has a plan to disrupt public transportation by greatly increasing efficiency. Emmanuele Spera, CEO of next future transportation, inc. explains that by reducing […]
One of the hurdles to the mass adoption of electric vehicles is the time it takes to recharge the batteries. Simply, even the fastest charge doesn’t compare to the refuel time of an internal combustion powered vehicle. Atmo Auto Power aims to change that with its robotic battery changing platform. Instead of 30 minutes of […]
Vehicles are increasingly becoming consumer electronic items, as evidenced by the number of companies and booths at International CES 2017 that were dedicated to creating the next great ride. The embedded electronics allow even the most utilitarian vehicle to become an extension of its rider. Of course, there was the 21st century version of the […]
A steering wheel cover that provides feedback via the cloud to parents who want to monitor their kid’s driving habits is what made SMARTwheel™ a CES 2016 Innovation Awards Honoree. Its sensors can turn an older car from dumb to smart. More than monitoring, this cover is about providing a way to improve people’s driving […]
