Autonomous vehicles (AV) must be driven hundreds of millions of miles – and sometimes hundreds of billions of miles – to demonstrate their reliability in terms of fatalities and injuries. There is a need for alternative methods to supplement real-world testing including virtual testing and simulations, mathematic modeling and analysis, and scenario and behavior testing. In this […]

Introduction Hot work is defined as any operation that could be an origin of ignition in an environment with flammable materials. According to the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board (CSB), hot work is one of the most common causes of worker death. It is also leading cause of industrial fires. A hot work […]

Embedded software developers in the automotive industry have used a traditional embedded development methodology that has been largely unchanged for decades. The embedded target system that the software is being written for is by nature resource constrained with limited memory, compute, and input/output capacity. Additionally, embedded development systems are often expensive and a scarce commodity […]

More than half of the global population now lives in cities. With this number constantly growing, cities are looking for ways to introduce more sustainable transportation solutions. MOIA, a young mobility company within the Volkswagen Group, addresses these challenges by providing clean and efficient urban transportation services. They currently operate in the cities of Hamburg […]

After two years of virtual shows, the world’s largest industrial trade fair, Hannover Messe, returns at the end of May, 2022 in Hannover, Germany. From Monday, May 30, to Thursday, June 2, Hannover Messe  organizers expect over 2500 exhibitors to re-launch this in-person event. This year’s show theme focuses on Industrial Transformation and how networked […]

At Toyota Connected, data ingested from millions of connected vehicles is stored in our petabyte-scale Toyota Connected data lake with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3), an object storage built to retrieve any amount of data from anywhere, as its foundation. We use Amazon EMR, which is the industry-leading cloud big data platform for running […]

WirelessCar has created data-driven services like a data lake and dashboard for multiple use cases and is in the process of creating services based on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). WirelessCar has created a multitenant data lake solution as explained in our last blog post, “Automotive data lake solution with Amazon S3, Amazon […]

WirelessCar worked alongside Amazon Web Services (AWS) to commoditize connected vehicle services and turn its data into insights, digital services, and revenue. Connected vehicle services in any vehicle— not just premium vehicles—is becoming a new normal. Vehicles are producing a huge amount of sensor and user pattern data, and there is a shift of user […]

Introducing a digital blueprint cloud factory, scalable across the world. In this blog post, we discuss how Northvolt has approached the challenge of scaling next-gen connected factories in the cloud. We introduce a concept, called Cloud Factory Module, which consists of reusable pieces of cloud-infra for any Northvolt factory. This article explains who Northvolt is, […]

Near-real-time 3D simulation has become an essential tool in the development of robots and autonomous vehicles. As an augmentation to real-world testing, simulation helps developers to test the sensing capability and behavior of their systems against a wider range of potential real-world scenarios. To test with confidence, developers and scientists want to generate the widest […]
