Hello everyone, car or automobile is a wheeled motor vehicle used for transportation. Most definitions of cars say that they run primarily on roads, seat one to eight people, have four tires, and mainly transport people rather than goods. Cars came into global use during the 20th century, and developed economies depend on them.
Tesla Cybertruck Totally Not Certifiable In Europe, Says Expert
A various discussion on the futuristic design of Tesla Cybertruck. While those are just fine because everyone's entitled to their own opinion, there's one thing that Tesla should address in order for the company to sell the fully electric pickup truck – and that is its legality on the road.
With that said, we've already imagined what the Cybertruck would look like if it were to be redesigned as a road-legal production truck. With the addition of side mirror cameras (currently not legal in the U.S. as of this writing), headlight clusters, smaller tires, windshield wipers, and rounder edges, this rendering of the Cybertruck could be the production version of the Tesla truck.
However, this version of the Cybertruck could still flunk European standards in terms of safety, more so if we're to discuss the one that Tesla presented during its reveal. In fact, in order for the Cybertruck to pass European regulations on automobiles, "strong modifications to the basic structure" are warranted. This is according to Stefan Teller, an automotive functional safety expert at SGS-TÜV Saar GmbH, as reported by Spiegel Online.
For the uninitiated, Europe has a stricter standard in terms of certifying vehicles for road-worthiness. In the U.S., carmakers can certify the cars themselves whereas in Europe, there is a process that involves the marque, the government, and independent technical services like the TÜV.
Zenuity is a small company with a large mission. This startup — launched by Volvo Cars and Veoneer, a subsidiary of automotive safety leader Autoliv — is developing advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) and autonomous-driving (AD) technologies that promise to take vehicle safety systems to a new level. Zenuity is focused on the software side of the ADAS/AD problem. It enables smarter vehicles with a complete software stack, including algorithms for computer vision, sensor fusion, decision making and vehicle control, along with applications that run in the cloud. AI is at the heart of the Zenuity’s solutions, according to Dennis Nobelius, the company’s CEO. In an interview with Automotive World , he notes that AI is one of the major trends driving advances in ADAS and AD systems. “We realize that we must be effective with the data that we generate and handle, and AI is really transforming the way we use that data and, therefore, how we operate software,” he says.
Mechanical odometers have been counting the miles for centuries. Although they are a dying breed, they are incredibly cool because they are so simple! A mechanical odometer is nothing more than a gear train with an incredible gear ratio. The odometer we took apart for this article (pictured above) has a 1690:1 gear reduction ! That means the input shaft of this odometer has to spin 1,690 times before the odometer will register 1 mile. Odometers like this are being replaced by digital odometers that provide more features and cost less, but they aren't nearly as cool. In this article, we'll take a look inside a mechanical odometer, and then we'll talk about how digital odometers work.
