Electric car lovers and green activists need to take note of the Rinspeed Oasis, a self-driving concept car designed by German supplier and drive engineering company ZF and showcased at the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) in Detroit, Tuesday. The Rinspeed Oasis comes with a garden integrated under the bonnet of the vehicle, making it the 'greenest' concept we've ever seen. The project is the result of a collaboration between ZF, which supplied the car's technological components, and the Swiss automotive industry think tank Rinspeed, which owns the idea around the Rinspeed Oasis. The concept car is not actually planned for manufacture, but was instead designed to inspire the auto industry.
With the introduction of its new Honda E-Clutch technology as an option on the CBR650R and CB650R for 24 year model, Honda will open up a whole new aspect of the motorcycling experience for riders of every type and experience level.Honda E-Clutch takes elements of the technology and performance of quickshifters, manually-operated clutches and Honda’s Dual Clutch Transmission technology to create a unique blend of these well-proven approaches. The ultra-compact system weighs only 2 kilograms and the clutch and transmission hardware themselves are no different from a conventional motorcycle, which aids the feasibility of future applications.In operation, Honda E-clutch is simplicity itself, taking away the need to use the clutch lever to make a shift either up or down the gearbox. The rider simply has to operate the shift pedal for ultra-fast, consistent gear changes, bringing extra enjoyment to sporty riding. The clutch lever is also not needed when pulling away or coming to a stop. Becoming active as soon as the engine is switched on, the system manages both scenarios smoothly, while taking away the possibility of the engine stalling when in operation, providing extra convenience and peace of mind to town riding involving frequent starts and stops.
Honda will showcase the new capabilities of the latest generation of its prototype Honda Autonomous Work Vehicle (AWV) to improve construction industry and worksite efficiencies at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2023 in Las Vegas, March 14-18, 2023. Interested construction entities will have an opportunity to learn more about field testing the rugged off-road platform at their worksites.
At SAE Level 3 the driver does not need to monitor the driving situation constantly but must take back control when the system requests. L3Pilot, the flagship research and innovation project in Europe, is one of the most important for the future of automated driving since it is focused on testing and evaluating the technology as a safe and efficient means of transportation in real traffic conditions. It also assessed technical aspects, driving behavior, user acceptance and impact on traffic and safety.The piloting phase covered a wide range of driving situations, including parking, overtaking on highways, driving through urban intersections and in close distance scenarios. This tested Level 3 automated driving functions such as:Motorway Chauffeur: High-speed driving and automated lane changeTraffic Jam Chauffeur: Low-speed driving in congested roadsRemote Parking: In parallel and cross-parking scenariosHome Zone: Path memory for repetitive maneuvers to park in and out in parking areas
Digitalization offers an opportunity to rethink the automobile. Audi is creating an ecosystem for electric and autonomous driving. With new physical and digital offerings, the premium brand will enrich the customer experience and meet the growing needs and demands for the mobility of the future.
