Think about the computing software required to run your car. Your vehicle likely runs on about 100 million lines of code — 100 times more than the Space Shuttle, 4 times more than a commercial aircraft, and the equivalent of nearly 18,000 printed pages. In the near future, the tech installed in automated vehicles will contain between 300 and 500 million lines of code — and there’s surely more to come.

.

Tim Frasier, Regional President of North America for Bosch USA’s new Cross-Domain Computing Solutions division, discussed how his new team combines software, electrical, and electronics engineers to create a consistent IT architecture throughout the vehicle. These bright minds and brilliant engineers came together at Bosch’s Hackathon to create a new product idea that scored highest in its category at the 2020 CES Best of Innovation Awards.

ELECTRIC VEHICLES are rising in popularity more and more every year — it’s no surprise that the market for used EVs is growing along with it. Scott Case, founder and CEO of Recurrent, wants to make the process accessible to everyone.

.

Before Recurrent, there was never a CARFAX-like report for EVs. EVs have different quality standards than a typical combustion engine vehicle — climate, charge rate, battery age and more all impact the longevity of a car. Listen in to hear how Case and Recurrent give the power of information back to the consumer using battery reports and machine learning.

.

Plus, hear why Case actually likes spending time negotiating with dealers on used cars. Wild, right?
