Is End-to-End the Endgame for Level 4 Autonomy?

As software becomes an increasingly important differentiator and component of autonomous driving, the term 'end-to-end' has been used to describe a new approach to autonomous driving software. End-to-end autonomous driving systems are defined by the input of raw sensor data into a deep learning model, and outputting vehicle control commands such as steering, acceleration, and braking. This represents a paradigm shift from the traditional modular software approach used in autonomous vehicles.

Post-PFAS Refrigerants for EVs to Exceed 14 million kg by 2036

The automotive market is more than familiar with regulatory changes impacting its business. Automotive refrigerants have been targeted previously, but PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are becoming a greater concern and look to be the next target for regulatory change. There are different approaches to replacing the incumbent R1234yf with PFAS-free alternatives, but each has its own trade-offs. This article covers the most promising alternatives.
