This is Triggo, a lightweight and fully-electric micro car that has an innovative suspension design that enables its front wheels to retract and allow the driver easily pass through traffic jams just like a motorcycle.
During Battery Day, Tesla unveiled a number of advances that will further enhance the companyâs electric vehicles, lower their cost, and dramatically improve the ownership experience. One very important improvement is silicon, which the company will use in the anode of the battery cell. Tesla silicon opens the door to.
A new report suggests that Toyota is going to unveil an electric car with a new solid-state battery that enables 10-minute fast-charging capacity next year.
Toyota started working on solid-state batteries back in 2017 with plans to commercialize the batteries inside electric vehicles in the early 2020s.
ââ As sunlight hits the houses, bedroom windows adjust their opacity to allow the natural light to wake sleepy residents,â Terminus said on its website, which also highlights tranquil green spaces like rooftop gardens. âOnce the light has filled the room, an AI virtual housekeeper named Titan selects your breakfast, matches your outfit with the weather, and presents a full schedule of your day.â The city, which includes offices, homes, public spaces and self-driving cars that move around under the ever watchful eye of AI, is due for completion in about three years, according to Terminus.â
Web Summit conference hears plans by Danish architecture firm BIG and Chinese tech company Terminus to build an AI-run city in Chongqing.
wello presented a future vision of mobility at CES 2020 with a solar-powered cross between a bike and an electric car. the réunion-based startup presented its compact tricycle designed specifically for people in urban areas, to help alleviate congestion on the roads by offering an alternative to cars.
According to the U.S. Centers For Disease Control (CDC), in 2018, over 36,000 people were killed, and over 2 million were injured, from motor vehicle crashes, costing the nation $44 billion in medical expenses and work loss.
The American Automobile Association (pronounced âTriple Aâ) is a federation of motor clubs throughout North America, and is a privately held, not-for-profit national member association and service organization, with over 60 million members in the United States and Canada, and provides a variety of services to its members, including roadside assistance and others.
The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is a not-for-profit, publicly supported charitable research and education organization dedicated to saving lives by preventing traffic crashes and reducing injuries when crashes occur.
Initially emphasizing projects related to safety patrols and driver education, today the Foundation has expanded its scope of work and has long been recognized as a leader in traffic safety, with a focus on four research priorities: Driver behavior and performance, Emerging technologies, Roadway systems and drivers, and Vulnerable road users.
Dr. David Yang, is Executive Director at AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety (and assumed this role in October 2016)
Previously, Dr. Yang worked for the U.S. Department of Transportation and private consulting firms.
Serena Corr looks at the science behind batteries, discusses why we are hunting for new ones and investigates what tools we use to pave this pathway to discovery.
Watch the Q&A: https://youtu.be/lZjqiR0czLo.
The hunt is on for the next generation of batteries that will power our electric vehicles and help our transition to a renewables-led future. Serena shows how researchers at the Faraday Institution are developing new chemistries and manufacturing processes to deliver safer, cheaper, and longer-lasting batteries and provide higher power or energy densities for electric vehicles.
Serena Corr is a Chair in Functional Materials and Professor in Chemical and Biological Engineering at the University of Sheffield. She works on next-generation battery materials and advanced characterisation techniques for nanomaterials.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, Iranâs top nuclear scientist, was killed on November 27 by a âsmart satellite-controlled machine gunâ that used AI, the countryâs Revolutionary Guards commander Brig-Gen Ali Fadavi told local media, as the BBC reports.
The scientist was allegedly killed by a weapon mounted to a pickup truck, which shot Fakhrizadeh inside a vehicle from a distance â but spared his wife sitting right next to him.
The weapon âfocused only on martyr Fakhrizadehâs face in a way that his wife, despite being only 25cm [10 inches] away, was not shot,â Gen Fadavi, Revolutionary Guards deputy commander, told a ceremony on Sunday, as quoted by the BBC.
