Pi Innovo and GaN Systems collaborate to offer electronics design services for auxiliary systems for multi-voltage, hybrid and electric vehicles

Green Car Congress

GaN can operate at higher junction temperatures and can be air-cooled rather than water-cooled. GaN Systems’ compound semiconductor devices are cost-competitive with silicon devices, while offering superior performance; these gallium nitride devices use low cost GaN-on-silicon base wafers.

For Better or Worse, Tesla Bot Is Exactly What We Expected

Cars That Think

Tesla Bot Development Platform Demo. I guess there’s only so much you can do with a mostly naked electromechanical humanoid in terms of form factor, but at first glance there’s nothing particularly innovative or futuristic about Tesla’s design. The watering can was somewhat impressive, because gripping that narrow handle looks tricky.
