 Real-life Crash Test: Mercedes-Benz Electric VehiclesWith the world's first public crash test involving two fully electric vehicles, Mercedes-Benz is going above and beyond not only the legal requirements but also those of the ratings industry. Euro NCAP stipulates a frontal impact test using a 1,400 kg trolley with an aluminium honeycomb barrier replicating the front of another vehicle. In accordance with the specifications, the test vehicle and the trolley collide with an overlap and at a speed of 50 km/h. Mercedes-Benz, however, used two real vehicles, an EQA and an EQS SUV, which are significantly heavier at around 2.2 and three tonnes respectively. In addition, both models were faster, each going 56 km/h, which meant that the overall crash energy was considerably higher than required by law.

In the latest Latin NCAP and Global NCAP car to car campaign, the Peugeot Partner Patagónica, purchased anonymously in Argentina, and the Peugeot Rifter, bought anonymously in Chile, were put to the test. Both cars are sold as new and comply with local regulations, but the twenty-five-year-old Partner Patagónica model lacks many basic protecting safety features. The test demonstrates the dramatic "zero star" double standard adopted in the Latin American region by some car manufacturers, in this case in two neighbouring markets.
Virginia Tech Transportation Institute researchers and their partners recently put an autonomous Ford F-150 through a series of driving scenarios related to public safety on the 395 express lanes in Arlington, Va. Approaching a driver during a traffic stop is typically a moment of heightened awareness for law enforcement officers. But what happens when vehicle that just came to a halt on the highway shoulder has no driver?
After several years of work and 26 million invested, Renault Group has just inaugurated a building at the Technocentre, the heart of the Group's Engineering, entirely dedicated to driving and immersive simulation, bringing together most of its tools and expertise. On this occasion, Renault Group is also unveiling ROADS, a brand-new immersive driving simulation tool, probably the most powerful in the world.
ZF is expanding its relationship with Oceaneering International, Inc., headquartered in Houston, Texas. The agreement brings together the key strategic strengths of both companies by combining Oceaneering's engineering, manufacturing, and integration expertise with ZF's know-how in developing the building functions needed to advance autonomous driving. The agreement aims to deliver a four-digit number of ZF's Group Rapid Transport shuttles to customers in the coming years.
evolvAD, the UK's newest autonomous driving research project backed by Nissan and funded by the UK Government, has officially got underway. With the aim of enhancing the UK's autonomous drive capability and technically supporting the supply chain's readiness for mass adoption, evolvAD will put Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAV), through their paces on a variety of urban residential and complex rural roads.
On September 11th, FORVIA and CHERY signed a strategic cooperation agreement in presence of Patrick Koller, CEO of FORVIA; Ma Chuan, China Deputy Executive Vice-President; Yin Tongyue, Chairman of CHERY and Qi Shilong, Deputy General Manager at CHERY among other guests. Based on the strong business synergy and solid cooperation foundation, both parties will establish a long-term strategic partnership and further deepen all-round cooperation, especially in the field of smart cockpits.
TASKING's debugging tools now support the Synopsys VDK (Virtualizer Development Kit) and Silver virtual ECU (Electronic Control Unit) platforms. Developers can now access a comprehensive suite of tools that increase development efficiency while improving vehicle safety and reliability. This step will help reduce time-to-market and increase the quality of software in vehicles.
Jonathan How and his team at the Aerospace Controls Laboratory develop planning algorithms that allow autonomous vehicles to navigate dynamic environments without colliding. MIT Professor Jonathan How's research interests span the gamut of autonomous vehicles - from airplanes and spacecraft to unpiloted aerial vehicles (UAVs, or drones) and cars. He is particularly focused on the design and implementation of distributed robust planning algorithms to coordinate multiple autonomous vehicles capable of navigating in dynamic environments.
Tomorrow's vehicles will be equipped with a sense of hearing, which will enable them to perceive, for example, bicycle bells, children playing or the sirens of approaching emergency vehicles. Experts at the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT in Oldenburg are working on The Hearing Car and developing AI-based system solutions for acoustic event recognition in the vicinity of vehicles.
Murata has announced the introduction of a new ultrasonic sensor device intended for deployment in automotive applications. With high-sensitivity and rapid responsiveness, the MA48CF15-7N is housed in a hermetically-sealed package to protect against liquid ingress. With vehicle designs set to incorporate higher levels of autonomy, more accurate short/medium-range object detection mechanisms are going to be needed.
Åsa Haglund is Head of Volvo Cars Safety Center and has been engaged in vehicle safety, product development and innovation throughout her whole career. She has MSc in Mechanical engineering and biomechanics from Chalmers University and has also studied at Université de Technologie de Compiègne in France. Finding ways to use technology to improve peoples lives is of particular interest to Åsa Haglund.
