Validation testing of the new 2-step VCR by several OEMs has been successful to date and is expanding, as the industry examines more sophisticated solutions to meet CO2 regulations.

The Global 7500 business jet from Bombardier Inc. in Montreal appears to be on the fast track to entering service, thanks in large part to high-tech engineering design, simulation, and test tools. Bombardier engineers and officials are crediting the program’s extensive use of proven engineering tools, digital simulation, innovative ground testing systems for helping to ensure: a mature aircraft at the start of flight testing, an efficient flight validation program, test aircraft that exceed original performance goals, and completion of one lifetime of simulated flights, which exceeds the requirements at time of certification.

To better inform and equip mobility engineers dealing with these challenges, SAE International has released a new book series from Juan R. Pimentel that explores automated vehicle safety concepts and technologies.

Software needs security. That's a consequence of using software to control critical systems. It's difficult because software is inherently a complex artifact, even when the code just consists of a single sequential program in a single programming language, with well-defined inputs and outputs. Of course, actual software rarely if ever has such a simple structure. Security needs software. That's a consequence of the complexity just mentioned. No process can ensure security at scale unless it is automated by using software itself: programming languages, verification tools, software platforms.

Goodfellow’s process involves breaking methane gas – a very potent greenhouse gas – into hydrogen and elemental carbon atoms in a plasma reactor. The carbon atoms recombine into graphene sheets in the hydrogen atmosphere.

Elon Musk has yet to create a sufficiently robust manufacturing organization to pull off his plans to build 1 million Tesla cars per year by 2020.

Silicon drives autonomy movement

German research institute FKFS said at the 2018 SAE High-Efficiency IC Engines Symposium that it is developing a spark-ignited compression-ignition combustion process for gasoline engines.

With federal funding on tap, a coalition of private sector players will help amplify federal ambitions to install America’s new EV-friendly infrastructure.

The missions of 2012 and 2020 overlap in technology.

Lucid Motors’ home-grown technologies are setting the pace in electrification. Top engineers tell how and why they’re building a benchmark.

Working with a host of research partners, Toyota is continuing its investment in generating safety data, which it shares widely.

Drivers and automakers are learning the parameters of automated driver assist technologies.

As the industry plows ahead toward vehicle electrification, the short-to-mid-term future is uncharted territory at virtually every level.

SAE International has published a new recommended practice for assessing the amount of nonvolatile particulate matter (nvPM) that exits aircraft engine exhaust nozzles – ARP6481: Procedure for the Calculation of Non-Volatile Particulate Matter Sampling and Measurement System Losses and System Loss Correction Factors

Written by BCG and SAE International, we propose a coordinated, multipronged, and sustainable response that involves both public and private-sector players.

Rapidly emerging technologies are presenting huge challenges for even the best informed product planners.

While Donald Trump was blasting China for allegedly taking U.S. jobs, GM was quietly importing new China-made vehicles into the U.S.

General Motors’ electrified, autonomous vehicle future is about to hit overdrive—with related industry standards playing a vital role in the transformation.

As mobility software becomes increasingly complex and connected, so does the risk of human error and system safety. To combat this, New York-based software company AdaCore will work with Nvidia Corporation of Santa Clara, California to apply open-source Ada and SPARK programming languages for select software security firmware elements in highly-complex, safety-critical systems like Nvidia’s DRIVE AGX automated and autonomous vehicle solutions.
