Granville T. Woods: Smartest Guy in the Room
Any home baker will confirm that, even if you have all the right ingredients and follow the recipe, things don’t always turn out the way you envisioned. Such was the life of inventor extraordinaire Granville T. Woods. Who was Granville T. Woods? Woods was endowed with intellectual gifts that allowed him, despite no formal engineering… Continue reading Granville T. Woods: Smartest Guy in the Room
Yes, Your Electric Vehicle Could Be Hacked
This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. In a world with ever-growing security and privacy concerns, add another item to the list of vulnerabilities: electric vehicle (EV) charging. Marco De Vincenzi, a researcher at the Istituto di Informatica e Telematica (IIT) in Pisa, Italy, is trying… Continue reading Yes, Your Electric Vehicle Could Be Hacked
5G-Based System Could Warn Drivers of Potential Collisions
This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. With the rise of 5G technology, new ways to keep roads safe are becoming possible. In a recent paper, researchers based in Germany argue the tech could be used to warn drivers about potential collisions, and also help direct… Continue reading 5G-Based System Could Warn Drivers of Potential Collisions
How High Precision GNSS Enables New Automotive Applications
The typical positional accuracy provided by standalone GNSS is 3-10 meters, which is suitable for automotive applications such as navigation and emergency call. With the emergence of high precision GNSS, able to mitigate the influence of errors, sub-decimeter positional accuracy is possible and it becomes usable for more advanced applications such as C-V2X and autonomous… Continue reading How High Precision GNSS Enables New Automotive Applications

This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. Battery technology for electric vehicles is rapidly evolving, which is great news for both improving EVs and addressing climate change. However, the constant evolution of the tech has made it challenging to create infrastructure that can support the full… Continue reading This Universal Charger Could Simplify the EV Landscape
Lidar on a Chip Puts Self-Driving Cars in the Fast Lane
Auto accidents are responsible for 1.3 million deaths annually, according to the World Health Organization. That’s like losing the city of Prague each year. A switch to self-driving cars and trucks with various types of electronic sensors and sophisticated computers at the helm could save countless lives. But getting this promising technology into people’s hands… Continue reading Lidar on a Chip Puts Self-Driving Cars in the Fast Lane
F1 Engineers Spin Up Ultimate Hybrid Controller
This article is part of our exclusive IEEE Journal Watch series in partnership with IEEE Xplore. In Formula One (F1) racing, the winning team needs to salvage every second they can in order to be the first car over the finish line. And while it’s up to drivers to make the best possible split decisions… Continue reading F1 Engineers Spin Up Ultimate Hybrid Controller
When Autonomous Vehicles Collide, Data Takes Over
When a self-driving car is involved in an accident, its data tells the story—which can be essential to crash investigators to determine who or what was at fault, as well as to automakers, so they can make their self-driving systems smarter and safer. In 2004, the IEEE Standards Association introduced IEEE 1616, setting the ground… Continue reading When Autonomous Vehicles Collide, Data Takes Over
EV Rivals Join Dominant Tesla Supercharger Network
Tesla forced slumbering automakers to get into the electric game. Now, in an ultimate twist on “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em,” Tesla is backing them into joining its dominant public charging network in America. In a stunning repudiation of the Combined Charging System (CCS) network—whose scattershot reliability has rankled EV owners or left… Continue reading EV Rivals Join Dominant Tesla Supercharger Network
