China Leads the Way in Testing Driverless Cars . China is rapidly advancing in the development of driverless cars, with over 16 cities permitting on-road testing and 19 automakers competing for global leadership. Cities like Wuhan, with its fleet of 500 Baidu-operated robot taxis, exemplify this aggressive push. The Chinese government supports this initiative by providing designated testing areas and censoring discussions of safety incidents to manage public perception. China's stringent data control ensures domestic research remains within the country, giving local companies a competitive edge. While international competitors face setbacks and regulatory hurdles, Chinese firms like Baidu are leading the charge, projecting that 20% of cars sold in China by 2030 will be fully driverless. . As China leverages its electric vehicle market to enhance driverless technology, its dominance in this sector is set to grow, shaping the future of global automotive innovation. .

Do watch this video, my Toyota Hybrid has TSS 2.0 or Toyota Safety Sense, Advanced Driver Assistive System (ADAS) or Autonomous Technology Level-2. Why am I sharing this video? The recent accident, a girl was knocked down by a Commercial Van at Taman Jurong, under normal driving speed, they could have been avoided of any contact; even at most, a "bump" with no life-threatening injury. Autonomous Technology is not only about self-driving at Level-4, this set of AV Technology can be applied as Assistive to potential driver's fatigue or momentarily lost of concentration or distraction at the front view. While AV Technology cannot be the way to eliminate accidents, it can be used to mitigate human errors when Machine Intelligence could augment as Human-Robot Collaborative. There will be a time, this set of Autonomous Technology can serve the greater good of our society, and beyond within Society-at-Large. As Singapore's National Roboticist, I am ready to help our Nation transit to Industry 5.0 of Machine Intelligence as Human-Robot Collaborative thru 2030. I am sure, towards 2035, Singapore can be the 1st in this part of the World, to be the most Machine Intelligence ready. Hong Tat Chee

My take: Chinese automakers likely to turn electric cars and eventually semi-autonomous cars into super-app cars before anyone else jam-packed with features with an entire ecosystem to support it from ordering food, taking team video calls, to trying out the latest fashion from the largely-ignored second row/back seats - oh, including connecting to that drone delivery you just ordered and the robot who just fed your dog and walking it now :-) #autoindustry #superapps #ecommerce #digitaleconomy

Apple has reportedly delayed the launch of its electric vehicle (EV) from 2026 to 2028 and scaled back its self-driving features. The vehicle, part of Apple's Project Titan, will now feature "level two" autonomous driving capabilities, akin to Tesla's Autopilot, where the driver remains in control while the car can perform certain maneuvers independently. Apple's original ambition was to launch a "level four" car, capable of driving itself under most conditions. The shift in strategy is seen as a crucial moment, and Apple's board is expected to decide whether to ramp up plans or discontinue the project.

First keynote of Financial Times #futureofthecar2024 day 2 sees Peter Campbell discuss Mate Rimac his fascinating journey from schoolboy to making the worlds most exciting #ev cars. He referenced the importance of Volkswagen not closing the BUGATTI brand when times were hard and taking a chance on a relatively unknown Croatian firm to take the brand forward. Interesting point that mainstream lower price vehicles have billions invested in prototypes before they go on sale whereas low volume super cars don’t have access to those resources so it’s not always true that the high price tag means every aspect of the car is better than high volume cars. Peter asks why have you not sold out the fully electric Rimic models. Mate says that when they started in 2016 electric was rare and that meant cool whereas the market has moved with regulation to having a sense of being forced to switch which takes some of the excitement out of making the switch. He advocates for product over regulation as he feels that forces people to make better products to capture customer demand. New hybrid BUGATTI will be launched next month. They also have P3 business focused on changing how people use autonomous mobility to make commuting in cities a better experience and will reveal the week after the Bugatti launch. He wants to democratise mobility in the way that a billionaire can’t buy a better version of the IPhone than everyone else whereas they can be chauffeur driven in a luxury vehicle but millions have crowded, difficult and expensive mobility experiences which he feels they can solve. They will manufacture the vehicles and offer a full service to cities including ‘motherships’ that will provide backup elements such maintenance and cleaning to make adoption easier for cities. #financialtimes #automotive #innovation #autonomous

I Went To China And Drove A Dozen Electric Cars. Western Automakers Are Cooked A trip to the Beijing Auto Show reveals just how advanced China's EVs are. So what are the so-called "foreign" automakers doing about it? I spent a week in China for the Beijing Auto Show, the country’s biggest car industry event. As a guest of the Geely Group along with a few other international journalists, I drove more than a dozen vehicles, sat in many more, and had a lot of important conversations. The real story is far more nuanced than a simplistic “Us vs. Them”; a story of a China that has fraudulently over-invested in electric cars and is desperately seeking a space to dump their inferior products. That narrative is false. Western automakers are cooked. And a lot of this is probably their damn fault. or example, take the Honda Accord-sized (and similarly priced) Geely Galaxy E8. Fully electric and on the same SEA (Sustainable Experience Architecture) platform as some Polestar models, the E8’s interior comes standard with a full-width 4K OLED display that serves as a central hub for all of the car’s functions. True, there are plenty of concerns that could be leveled at the E8 for its screen-only interface, but that does this screen a disservice.  Using it is akin to staring at a TV screen or a high-quality gaming monitor. The interface feels like it’s done with intentionality and care; important details like speed gear position are easily seen, whereas the HVAC and stereo controls are easily at hand and not buried in acres of menus. The screen itself is incredibly responsive, matching the inputs with as little latency as a high-end smartphone. https://lnkd.in/gXPMmaWg

Huawei and Chery Autos claim their first production EV bests the Tesla Model S https://ift.tt/UpYgsZ6 Huawei is moving deeper into the electric vehicle business with the help of Chery Autos and now we know when the first production model from their joint venture will arrive. Luxeed is slated to debut its coupe-style S7 in China in late November, according to the South China Morning Post. Luxeed's blend of Huawei's tech and Chery’s manufacturing know-how could help the S7 to make a splash in an increasingly crowded EV market. There's clearly some confidence in the car too. “It will be superior to Tesla’s Model S in various aspects,” Richard Yu Chengdong, head of Huawei’s car unit, said at an event. The EV's range, price and tech features weren't disclosed at the event, the South China Morning Post noted. However, it emerged in August that the S7 will be based on state-owned Chery’s E0X platform, which is designed for two-motor, all-wheel-drive EVs. This isn't exactly Huawei's first foray into EVs. The company collaborated with automaker Seres to create the Aito brand (which Huawei now fully owns) in 2021. Aito's first all-electric model, the M5, arrived last year. Aito will start deliveries of its M9, a luxury electric SUV, in China in December. Huawei has also been supplying other automakers with its Huawei HI intelligent automotive solution that includes a 4D imaging radar and an autonomous driving platform. Don't expect to see Luxeed's S7 make its way over to the US anytime soon, if ever, though. Huawei is still subject to sanctions in the country.
