#New car tech could stop drunken drivers If you're drunk, your car may soon be able to stop you from driving.
A new generation of technology is taking shape around systems that prevent cars from operating
if the driver is drunk. Researchers say the new technology is so promising that they compare it to the advent of the seat belt in terms of its potential."
or another designated surface in the car. Alcohol levels would be measured under the skin's surface on a touchpad with an infrared light scanner.
or wait around in order to start their car. The new technology draws support from a number of driving safety advocates, including Mothers Against Drunk Driving."
"This car is going to be the cure, "says Colleen Sheehey-Church, MADD's president who lost her own son to a drunken driver."
The technology is scheduled to be car-ready in the next five to eight years, according to Zaouk.
It's yet to be seen how much it could add to the price of a new car,
As of now, experts don't envision the system as required equipment in all new cars. Rather
which will be placed in the car. The sensors will act as a tracking system to measure the ratio of carbon dioxide molecules to ethanol molecules produced by the driver.
If the ratio hits a certain threshold of ethanol to carbon, the car won't start.
If the levels register as 0. 08%or more, the car won't start. The machine will only be setup to analyze ethanol levels,
Manufacturers are also considering ways for the car to detect when someone else other than the driver attempts to start the car,
such as creating a touch-ID system programmed to the driver's fingerprints on the touchpad.
These systems require drivers to blow air into a device plugged into the car's ignition, measuring alcohol levels in a similar fashion as a breathalyzer.
and parking space-sensing cars For fans of automated autos that don need drivers, don like alcohol,
youe apparently lost that trademark) that can show on the car navigation system the nearby empty parking spaces and their conditions,
when parked cars will leave, which the company said is about 80 percent accurate. Other automakers are also in talks to license the tech.
Of course, many such cars in a neighborhood could mean a sudden convergence on an empty space reminiscent of the last, desperate players in a game of musical chairs.
#Nvidia's Tegra X1 Powers Smart cars At the Consumer electronics Show (CES) last week, Nvidia released demos of two computing platforms, Drive CX and Drive PX, for cars.
and provide improved accuracy in the autopilot function of the car. Nvidia also released a recording of a demo drive of a car with Drive PX that was able to find a space in a parking garage traveling at a speed of 8 kmph.
Drive PX can also differentiate between vehicles and can also identify an ambulance from a van.
and it will be the lifeline of a car infotainment system. It will facilitate digital instrument clusters
navigation, in-car entertainment and also monitor the driver. Using surround vision, it will provide the drivers a 360 degree view of the car in real time.
The digital smart mirrors will then be devoid of problems like blind spots. Drive CX will also be the lifeline of a car infotainment system.
It will be able to power four full-HD screens simultaneously or even two 4k screens.
Additionally, the famous graphics card manufacturer also released demos of two computing platforms, Drive CX and Drive PX, for cars.
Nvidia believes that the first beneficiaries of the Soc will be cars. The Nvidia Drive CX is based on a single Tegra X1 platform
and it will be the lifeline of a car infotainment system. It will also be able to power four full-HD screens simultaneously or even two 4k screens.
and provide improved accuracy in the autopilot function of the car. Nvidia also released a recording of a demo drive of a car with Drive PX that was able to find a space in a parking garage traveling at a speed of 8 km h.
With these two platforms Nvidia hopes to revolutionize the dashboard and give a boost to the concept of driverless cars s
#After Celgene Deal, Juno Revs Armored CAR For Ovarian Cancer Trial Juno Therapeutics has built remarkable momentumncluding last week much-dissected $1 billion deal with Celgenepon

CAR stands for chimeric antigen receptor, which is the piece of the T cell modified to zero in on proteins on the surface of cancer cells.

Similar to the parts of an engine interacting smoothly to run a car, the Intel-created software user interface enables existing and new technologies to efficiently work with each other.
Monitors, projectors, non-digital car radios and TVS will be excluded from the pact in the EU. The full terms of the agreement will be circulated at a WTO General council meeting on 28 july.
