Autology

As smart voice systems transform our interactions in the car just as rapidly as they are in the home, we dive into the world of virtual personal assistants (VPAs) in this week's episode of Autology. Our experts discuss how simple voice commands such as: "Navigate me to the shopping center" are evolving to: "Navigate me to the shopping center, reserve a parking space and order a venti caramel Frappuccino to pick up on the way!". The topic of voice integration naturally leads us to also look at some big topics around branding, data privacy and the cooperation necessary between technology and automotive companies to deliver consumers the seamless experience they desire. From developing AI to voice cloning, tune in to find out more about the connected car experience of the future including the answer to the ultimate VPA question: "Is pressing a button easier than using voice commands?"

In this week's episode of Autology, we discuss how and when autonomous vehicles will penetrate markets, understanding things such as technical, regional and consumer acceptance challenges. Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) has gained momentum over the years and OEMs are keen to upgrade cars with more advanced safety features. Ubiquitous connectivity is expected to accelerate the roll out of autonomous vehicles, which will play an integral part of future smart cities. In order to get there, automotive industry players and municipalities need to understand how to bring people, technology and policy together. And even if the latter two challenges can be overcome, consumer acceptance might remain the biggest hurdle yet–points that are explored in the podcast, alongside when and where autonomous vehicles are expected to take off first. Speakers: Karen Lightman, Executive Director of Metro21 Smart Cities Institute at Carnegie Mellon University Jim Misener, V2X ecosystem lead at Qualcomm Anna Buettner, Connected Car expert at IHS Markit Brock Walquist, Autonomy expert at IHS Markit We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode at our [email protected] email – and you can find out much more across the autotechinsight.ihsmarkit.com website.

In the debut episode of the new Autology podcasts, we discuss how Formula E is driving technology for EVs on the road, including how OEMs-come-race-teams like Nissan and Jaguar Land Rover are applying their learnings in energy regeneration systems to their production vehicles. The sport has come a long way since the drivers were forced to change vehicles mid-race due to limited battery range, with the upcoming third generation Formula E race car including a fast-charging 350kW battery. However, the high cost of battery systems is still an issue both on and off the circuit – a point that that is explored in the podcast, alongside when the cost of batteries will be more sustainable. And then there's the question if we'll see the day without Formula 1 and other traditionally fueled racing car series? Tune in to reveal all, including the predicted year which our experts think will mark the end of the internal combustion engine.
