Outlook for autonomous driving includes
cloud
Connectivity with off-board data and services and among vehicles
will be crucial in maintaining safety and security in future
autonomous vehicles.
The next wave of crash simulation
As computing speed has improved and software itself has made
significant speed and performance gains with each release, modeling
tools are now quick enough to build high-quality, large,
high-detail vehicle models in a very efficient manner.
SAE 2014 Convergence preview
Interest in advanced driver-assistance technologies is surging,
with automotive engineers and decision makers at OEMs and suppliers
working feverishly on the convenience vs. safety trade-off and
other electronics-related challenges.
Cooled EGR shows benefits for gasoline
engines
Exhaust gas recirculation systems now in use on diesel engines are
used mainly to meet emissions regulations. In gasoline engines,
they are an appealing way to meet ever more stringent fuel-economy
standards
