Where intelligence goes
Changes in distributed or embedded control as well as processor power are altering automotive computing hierarchy.
Making chassis magic
Nothing beats veteran ride-and-handling engineers in creating a truly integrated chassis. But simulation is increasingly vital to their seat-of-the-pants development work.
Mass reduction--the next frontier
Automakers turn their attention to reducing vehicle weight in the quest for greater fuel efficiency.
Electricity drives forward
Continuous advances in component design and integration are helping to overcome cost and performance obstacles.
At your service
As cost and human-resource pressures mount, testing and engineering outsourcing heats up and alters roles within the industry.
Finding the right Formula
The University of Wisconsin-Madison won the annual Formula SAE student competition held in Michigan, beating more than 130 other teams aiming to conceive, design, and fabricate the best, small formula-style racing car.
