Automatic lets you harness the computing power of your car for the sake of fuel efficiency.
Once plugged in, Automatic connects the car's computer system to your smartphone, relaying data about all of your car's subsystems from the gas tank to the engine.
With this data at the ready, the device can tell you when there's something wrong with your car before it becomes a major issue,
a company spokesperson told Live Science. It's like preventative health for your car, she said,
letting you diagnose a problem before it starts eating away at your fuel efficiency or increasing your emissions.

#Why hydrogen fuel cell cars are taking off The news hasn't been great for electric vehicle and hybrid sales lately.
suddenly wee seeing a whole lot of action from hydrogen-powered fuel-cell cars. This is a zero emission technology that been under the radar,
but is exploding in 2015, with available-now or soon-arriving cars from Toyota, Honda,
Mercedes-benz and Hyundai. Think of a fuel-cell car as an exhaust-free electric car with a little chemical factory producing the electrons in place of a battery.
The other advantage over battery cars is that refueling is just like getting gas, and takes only about five minutes.
market car was possible. Wee there now. Hyundai was the first out of the gate with the Tucson fuel-cell car last spring.
Initially it available only in southern California because that where the stations are. The big challenge for hydrogen is the infrastructurehe stations cost $1 million or more
Toyota just announced some stellar numbers for the car a range of 312 miles on a hydrogen fill
Toyota is preparing a big push on fuel-cell cars. ust as the Prius introduced hybrid-electric vehicles to millions of customers nearly 20 years ago,
previously mostly quiet on fuel cells though it showed an early interest in hydrogen with 7-Series cars that burned the stuff.
BMW said this week it will test a Toyota-enhanced fuel-cell car on public roads in July.
but one executive said the automaker would field what could turn out to be an SUV-or crossover-based car in 2017.
It plans to have the production version of that car on American roads next year.

or a car that never needs a new coat of paint. A study done at The University of Akron may be able to make this a reality in the near future.
This is a significantly challenging step-it assumes that all the cars on the road become electric, and that homes and industry convert to fully electrified heating and cooling systems.

#Nanogenerator harvests power from rolling tires A group of University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers and a collaborator from China have developed a nanogenerator that harvests energy from a car's rolling tire friction.
During initial trials, Wang and his colleagues used a toy car with LED LIGHTS to demonstrate the concept.
They attached an electrode to the wheels of the car, and as it rolled across the ground,
"The researchers also determined that the amount of energy harnessed is directly related to the weight of a car,

So our research team is looking at the potential for a range of driver monitoring technologies to give the car enough information to support this decision.
If the car detects severe health issues, or simply how alert the driver is, then the car could take steps to ensure the driver is focussed enough on the driving task to take over. onitoring the physical health of the driver could
not only detect the onset of sudden and serious illness that may incapacitate the driver, but also allow the car to monitor driver stress levels.
This would then allow the car to help reduce stress, for example by changing mood lighting, audio settings and climate control.
JLR also has a redictive Infotainment Screenprototype that uses cameras embedded in the car to track the driver hand movements

team used a toy car with LED LIGHTS. Engineers attached an electrode to the tires of the toy car

Nvidia Demos a Car Computer Trained with Deep Learning Many cars now include cameras or other sensors that record the passing world and trigger intelligent behavior,
This week at the International Consumer electronics Show in Las vegas, Nvidia, a leading marking of computer graphics chips, unveiled a vehicle computer called the Drive PX that could help cars interpret
and other graphics for dashboard displays. t pretty cool to bring this level of powerful computation into cars,
At CES, Nvidia showed that its software can detect objects such as cars, people, bicycles and signs, even when they are hidden partly.
At a press event Sunday, Jen-Hsun Huang, Nvidia CEO, said the devices will provide ore computing horsepower inside a car than anything you have today. e
though, pay nothing, using their own cars and just paying a proportion of their takings to the company for the rides they pick up.
In this brave new world, untapped capacity such as idle cars and rooms is made available for hire, increases efficiency and lowers the price of those goods and services.
But researchers from Portsmouth University have found their structure is so biologically strong it could be copied to make cars, boats and planes.

The technology functions in a way that it causes the cars to shut down if it finds that the drivers exceed the permissible blood alcohol levels.

Hyundai thinks it has found the most seamless way yet to let drivers integrate their smartphones seamlessly into their cars.
Hyundai says it is the first automaker to launch Android Auto in a production car,
the car's touchscreen, steering wheel controls or voice.""Android Auto aligns with Hyundai's core interior design principles of safety,
but it was duplicative of a key function that the car was already able to perform through its own navigation system.
#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

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.

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.

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.
