ISO 26262 Functional Safety Standard for the Automotive Industry
We have been working with automotive electronics and electrification for enough time to have seen functional safety having a real evolution. If you’ve been in the automotive industry for a while, you know just how complex the interaction between various electronic systems can be. If you are a new engineer starting in this field, you will quickly learn. In this article let’s see what ISO 26262 is, what it aims to achieve, and why there’s more to it than just ticking compliance boxes.
Artificial Intelligence: A “Genuine Industrial Revolution”
During Italian Tech Week 2024 in Turin, we witnessed a fascinating discussion between Sam Altman (CEO of OpenAI) and John Elkann (CEO of Exor and Stellantis). They explored key topics like innovation, leadership, and the future impact of artificial intelligence (AI), touching on how AI will shape industries, ethical issues, and the need for responsible leadership. The conversation also addressed the concept of a “genuine industrial revolution,” emphasizing AI’s role in transforming various sectors, including automotive, energy, and tech.
Hydrogen-Powered Vehicles: Facts, Challenges, Opportunities
Hydrogen is often hailed as a game-changer in sustainable mobility, and for good reason. But let’s face it, conversations about hydrogen powered cars can sometimes veer into the overly optimistic. It’s easy to get excited about zero-emission promises, but what does the data say? What’s the real cost? And how does hydrogen fuel cell vehicles stack up against alternatives like battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) or hybrid systems? Let’s dig in and get a clearer picture, balancing vision with a dose of reality.
BEV vs PHEV: Differences and Future Trends in Electric Vehicles
Adoption of electric vehicles is the main factor transforming priorities for both manufacturers and suppliers. While the professional world knows the technical differences between Battery Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles, to most people, choosing between the technologies requires an understanding of technology, infrastructure, costs, and sustainability.
