🚘 Transportation
Transportation in all forms and sizes are getting cleaner and the vehicles are self-driving. We for example cover electric cars, airplanes and trucks but also drones and all kinds of autonomous vehicles.
🚘 Smart roads to revolutionize travel
Within the European C-Roads project, technologies for intelligent transport are being tested in Italy on the A22 highway: autonomous driving systems and data communication vehicle-to-vehicle and to infrastructure
🏎 Toyota announce bold electric strategy: 30 EV's to launch before 2030
The largest car manufacturer in the world has previously expressed scepticism towards EV's. In an unprecedented move, they've announced that they'll ad 30 EV's to their range by 2030.
☀️ Towards self-sufficiency in electric mobility with Solar Cars
Time has come to move beyond the traditional model of electric car charging from the grid. Lightyear One plans to deliver the first high-range – potentially self-sufficient – solar car next summer.
🚗New AI technology provides safer self-driving cars
By giving AI a little more "common sense", an international research team wants to give us self-driving cars that can better predict what will happen in traffic.
🛩 Onboarding has begun for electric airplanes
If we are serious about tackling climate change, it is time to embrace transportation with a smaller footprint on the environment. Vincent Roose explains how flying with electricity is the next big leap in aviation.
🚗 New cable could have charging done in five minutes
A liquid-cooled cable makes it possible to charge electric cars much quicker.
🚘 More sustainable driving when the cloud takes over the steering wheel
It's time to listen to your car – so you don't have to wait until it breaks before taking it to the workshop. Cloud technology is crucial for self-driving vehicles, connects manufacturers and users closer to each other – and makes your ride more environmentally friendly.
💡 Battery prices continue to drop- what does that mean for electric cars?
Will electric cars be cheaper to buy than the equivalent petrol cars in 2025? And does it matter when the big shift from petrol to electricity takes place? We have updated our forecast from last spring.
💡 This is how the drones are taking over
People underestimate the potential of drone technology. Millions of vaccine doses and a thousands of coffee cups have already been delivered with drones. But more is to be expected, predicts Maria Eriksson.
