Future Chips Will Be Hotter Than Ever

Cars That Think

In a system-on-chip (SoC) like todays CPUs and GPUs , temperature affects performance, power consumption, and energy efficiency. It also causes transistors to leak more current and as a result waste power. Consequently, while the density of logic circuits continued to grow, power density did as well, generating heat as a by-product.

Walmart Will Test a Green-Hydrogen Fuel Cell Truck in Chile

Cars That Think

Latin America’s first green-hydrogen-powered fuel cell truck has hit the road in Chile, marking a milestone for the country’s decarbonization efforts. That US $15 million initiative involved swapping 200 lead-acid battery-powered forklifts for hydrogen fuel cell versions. Chile’s Production Development Corporation put up $3.45

How Close Are Humanoid Robots to Replacing Auto Workers?

The Truth About Cars

Battery power has been a major issue. In most cases, even the most advanced units can only run for a couple of hours on battery power alone. Robots ultimately need to be told what to do, whereas humans have a natural curiosity and can automatically adapt to their environment.

Studies Claim EVs Make People More Carsick

The Truth About Cars

In a battery-powered car, the electric motor makes no such noises. Yet, traveling in an EV for the first time is a new motion environment for the brain, which needs adaptation,” Emond explains. This is, for example, why almost everyone becomes sick in zero-gravity environments,” Emond said.
