#An Electric car Heater Can't Be Too Thin or Too Economical Just about every electrical device seems to want to slim down to a thin filmf possible,
Its first application will likely be as a heater in an electric car, which, unlike conventional vehicles, can exploit the warmth of air that been passed over an internal combustion engine.
But standard car heaters, which use a matrix with embedded copper wire (often in seats or in the steering wheel), are power-hungry.
That why today drivers of e-cars must either shiver or drain their car already stressed-out batteries. n the most unfavorable case,
you can only drive half the usual distance with the carwhen using the heater, says Serhat Sahakalkan,
who managing the project for Fraunhofer lab in Stuttgart. The idea is to mix nanotubes into a fluid to create a slurry,
lay down a film just a few micrometers thick on a suitable substrate, and run a current through it.
The heat-generating resistance comes mainly from the passage of current through gaps between the nanotubes.

#Business models For Cars Need To Evolve Beyond Ownership Annie Hsu is the strategy director at global design and strategy firm frog.
A host of new car sharing and ride-hailing services have chipped away at the landscape of car ownership over the past several years.
Alixpartners, a global advisory firm, estimates that car sharing services have cannibalized sales of 500,000 vehicles over the past decade,
U s. car sales in 2014 totaled 16.5 million units. These estimates do not even account for the impact from ride-hailing services such as Uber or Lyft.
Many car manufacturers are responding by concentrating efforts on improving the product itself, incorporating new features from semi-autonomous driving modes to interior scent release.
however, is the fact that consumers are hungry for new ways to access the car, perhaps more than changes to the car itself.
the vehicle itself is just one part of what it means to own a car. A few companies have partnered with startup services to create e toohourly models,
but they are late to the game. Manufacturers can reframe their current definition of innovation by taking inspiration from other markets and pushing automotive boundaries in the following ways:
they require significant shifts in the business model to expand the total offering that cars provide to drivers.
where consumers see cars as purely utilitarian tools, manufacturers need to push beyond the current model cross product, business model and culture d

#Porsche, Audi unveil all-electric models to challenge Tesla Tesla will soon face competition in the luxury all-electric car segment after Porsche
and Audi unveiled new all-electric models at the Frankfurt Auto Show. Audi unveiled the concept car for its"e-tron quattro"vehicle, a sporty SUV, with a range of more than 500 km.
Porsche showed the prototype of its first battery-powered sports car, titled"Mission E."Similar in appearance to its iconic 911,
it has an 800-volt electric powertrain with 600 horsepower that can accelerate to 100 km per hour in 3. 5 seconds."
"When we designed this car, we knew it had to be a real Porsche, "chief executive Matthias Müller said in an interview on the eve of the Frankfurt Motor Show."
"It had to feel like a 911.""Neither Porsche or Audi will have these models to market until 2018.
Tesla's first luxury electric crossover, the Model X, starts delivery on Sept. 29, giving it a head start.
But with such high-profile names, with established reputations as luxury automakers, entering the all-electric market, they could pose competition for Tesla down the road.
Both Porsche and Audi are owned by Volkswagen, the world's biggest automaker, and the move to all-electric could boost the credibility of the concept and thus help Tesla."
"It will certainly sharpen the public focus on electric vehicles and raise overall awareness. Consumers are also set to gain from growing offerings of electric cars, especially in the performance segment,
"Commerzbank analyst Sascha Gommel told Reuters. Tesla's Elon musk put his electric-car patents into the public domain last year in the hope of boosting development of competing electric car technology.
One of the most closely watched design elements will be how far the cars can travel without having to be recharged.
Tesla is at work developing a network of charging stations across North america and Europe. That could help open doors for Volkswagen as many consumers are waiting for suitable infrastructure to be developed.

#Poland's Ideabank Turned Four BMW i3 EVS Into Mobile ATMS ATMS were considered once a revolution in convenience,
That's why Poland's Ideabank turned four BMW i3 electric cars into mobile ATMS, dispensing cash to customers via a mobile app, reports Carscoops.
From the perspective of the power grid, electric vehicles (EVS) can in many respects be considered a variation of behind-the-meter storage they just happen to be mobile.
The Nissan leaf for example, holds 24 kilowatt-hours, while an average house will use 30 kilowatt-hours per day,
so a car battery could provide backup power during an outage. But electric cars create challenges for grid operators.
Because they draw so much current during charging, there is the potential to overload circuits that serve neighborhoods.
Close on the horizon is so-called vehicle to grid (V2g) technology. Standards will finally make it possible to use the EV battery in two-way operation with utilities.

#Are self-driving cars a danger to cyclists? Google patents a way for autonomous vehicles to understand hand signals A Google patent has revealed that the firm self-driving cars will be able to detect
and respond to a cyclistshand signals. The documents reveals that the car array of sensors will notice a cyclist among other objects and vehicles on the road.
It can then watch their arms and hands for gestures indicating that they are about to turn
Google announced its self-driving cars would be capable of doing this last year, but the latest patent reveals new details about how it would work.
It describes how the car would use a combination of a camera Lidar and radar to collect information about objects that surround the car.
It does this by examining the height of objects it may think are compared cyclists with the average height of cyclists it has identified previously.
The car measures the distance between the top of the cyclist head and the pavement at various ranges,
and the size and shape of the cyclist hands, arms and head. he computing device may be configured to determine other subsets relating to other aspects of the cyclist, such as one or more subsets indicative of a type of vehicle of the cyclist,
HOW DOES GOOGLE'S AUTONOMOUS CAR WORK? Google's prototype two-seater'bubble'cars have buttons to begin and end the drive,
but no other controls. An onboard computer uses data from sensors, including radar, a laser and cameras,
and negotiate its way around pedestrians and other vehicles. Under the vision unveiled by Google,
The cars are expected also to be electric, capable of going 100 miles (160 km) before needing to be recharging.
The front of the vehicle has a soft foam-like material where a traditional bumper would be and a more flexible windscreen
and the ability to self-drive will depend on specifically designed Google road maps tested on the company's current fleet of vehicles.
But ultimately the vehicles will be faster and will be able to use Google's extended maps service,
using GPS technology to locate the vehicle's exact position on an electronic map. A combination of radar, lasers and cameras sitting on top of the roof give the car a 360-degree'view,
'with sensors linked to computer software able to'see 'and identify people, cars, road signs and markings and traffic lights. n some embodiments, the type of vehicle of the cyclist may include other means of transportation such as a scooter or moped.
The Washington post notes that the patent remains vague, leaving open different possibilities for exactly how Google self-driving cars could work.
Google says it begun discussions with most of the world's top automakers in a bid to get self-driving cars on the road by 2020.
In March, a separate patent revealed that Google's self driving car could have airbags both inside and out.
It shows an external airbag system in action that inflates if the car hits a pedestrian or other object.
The airbags would be made a new'memory foam'material that doesn't simply cause the pedestrian or cyclists to bounce off.
The head of self-driving cars for Google expects real people to be using them on public roads in two to five years.
Chris Urmson says the cars would still be test vehicles, and Google would collect data on how they interact with other vehicles and pedestrians.
Google is working on sensors to detect road signs and other vehicles, and software that analyzes all the data.
The small, bulbous cars without steering wheels or pedals are being tested at a Google facility in California.
Urmson wouldn't give a date for putting driverless cars on roads en masse saying that the system has to be safe enough to work properly.
He told reporters at the Automotive News World Congress in Detroit that Google doesn't know yet how it will make money on the cars.
Urmson wants to reach the point where his test team no longer has to pilot the cars.'
'What we really need is to get to the point where we're learning about how people interact with it,
how they are using it, and how can we best bring that to market as a product that people care for,
Google may face state regulatory hurdles depending on where it chooses to test the cars in public.
self-driving cars must have a steering wheel and pedals. Several other states have passed laws formally allowing autonomous cars on public roads without that restriction.
The company in December announced that it had a fully functioning prototype that's been driving on its test track
