Infineon introduces first Trusted Platform Module specifically for automotive cybersecurity

Green Car Congress

As a computer on wheels, the connected car benefits from the experience of the IT industry. It is easy to integrate and substantially increases cybersecurity—from production to recycling of connected cars. The TPM can also be updated so that the level of security can be kept up to date throughout the vehicle’s service life.

BMW Research, EURECOM and Technische Universität München collaborating on connected vehicle research

Green Car Congress

In the meantime, a diverse range of digital standards and radio frequencies have become established in each market. The increasing application of connected driver assistance systems induces a higher level of complexity in the vehicle IT on-board architecture. DAB, DAB+, DVB-T, etc.) and mobile telecommunications (e.g.

Study identifies main culprit behind lithium metal battery failure; counters conventional wisdom

Green Car Congress

This could potentially double the range of electric vehicles. There, they lose their electrical connection to the anode, becoming inactive lithium that can no longer be cycled through the battery. They promise twice the energy density of today’s lithium-ion batteries with graphite anodes, so they could last longer and weigh less.

Peugeot Shows Two HYbrid4 Concepts, New BB1 EV Concept at Frankfurt

Green Car Congress

The HYbrid4 system will be deployed into the production vehicle range beginning in 2011, with the 3008 HYbrid4. Everything is managed electronically—there is no mechanical connection between the front and the rear. This operates over a voltage range of between 150 and 270 volts. The HYbrid4 is a “through-the-road” hybrid system.

Freescale introduces new automotive microcontrollers; streamlining body electronics networks and reducing vehicle weight

Green Car Congress

As the number of electronic control units in a vehicle grows (up to 100 ECUs, requiring some 10 million lines of code, said Brad Loane, Freescale product manager) the amount of connectivity needed also increases. Integrating more functionality within the vehicle’s main ECUs and increasing the intelligence of its satellite nodes (i.e.

Renesas introduces new microcontrollers for sensor fusion, gateway and chassis system applications

Green Car Congress

The R-Car SoCs would perform image recognition based on data from image sensors, and the connected RH850/P1x-C Series MCU would make judgments and apply control. Error check and correct (ECC) functionality detects and corrects data errors affecting memory, such as flash memory, and the internal buses.
