ZF has developed an electric motor which does not require magnets. In contrast to the magnet-free concepts of separately excited synchronous motors (SESM) already available today, ZF’s I 2 SM (In-Rotor Inductive-Excited Synchronous Motor) transmits the energy for the magnetic field via an inductive exciter inside the rotor shaft. This makes the motor uniquely compact with maximum power and torque density.

Early chess computers were better than grandmasters at calculation but worse in judgement, and so the idea arose to pair them to get the best of both worlds. It worked, but not for long: Computers finally got too good to need human advice. Are we now at that sweet spot in aerial warfare where human-machine collaborations still make sense? That’s the “ loyal wingman ” concept, where a human pilot supervises a flock of relatively inexpensive but AI-guided drones.

We really need to establish some kind of etiquette for Tesla owners, and for the people who use them to make money as Uber drivers in particular. Surprisingly, I’m not suggesting that we ban them from talking about how wonderful their cars are, how it’s actually great not being able to see the speedometer in front of their eyes while driving, nor even rambling on about how Elon Musk isn’t actually a goggle-eyed homunculus megalomaniac, he’s just a naughty little genius.
