Lighting goes digital
Headlights move towards full integration with sensors, adjusting to turns and other driving conditions, while high-intensity discharge and light-emitting-diode technologies see continued growth.
2004 technology in review
AEI editors look back at some of the most significant engineering and innovation stories of the past year.
The age of digital experience
SAE 100 Future look: Automotive historians will remember the beginning of the 21st century as a defining moment in the history of an industry.
Simplifying advanced computing
SAE 100 Future look: There is no doubt the world is changing. Global competition and sourcing, cost pressures, safety, and environmental concerns are just a few evolving realities facing the automotive industry today.
Up-front simulation for innovation
SAE 100 Future look: For over a decade, research has proven that 70 to 80% of a vehicle's development and manufacturing cost is determined by decisions taken during the very early concept and design stages.
Build, test, review, and improve
SAE 100 Future look: It is truly amazing to consider how much product design and development has changed in the last decades.
