How Audi Told the World They’re Afraid of Tesla Motors
Last week, we reported that Tesla Motors sales were outselling other luxury automobiles in its class. Audi says “Not so fast!” According to Green Car Reports and CNN Money, the Tesla Model S sold more in the first quarter of 2013 than other luxury sedans in its class, including the Audi A8, BMW 7-Series, Lexus [...]

Either Google or Tesla Motors should hire this guy – he made a system that can autonomously drive a car and that costs just a fraction of Google’s current LIDAR-based self-driving mechanism. Ionut Budisteanu, the Romanian inventor, is to some just a high school student – to others, he may be the key to revolutionary [...] Read more... | Scientists claim that the Global Positioning System (GPS) could save millions of lives by providing detailed information about upcoming natural hazards before they have occurred. As the effects of climate change are continuously accelerating, ice sheets are melting, sea level is rising and atmospheric currents are changing, we keep hearing about more and more cases [...] Read more... |
The British government is expected to announce an increase in the one-off payments to help households switch to renewable energy sources. The measure will be taken as the implementation of governmental renewable heat incentive scheme (RHI) has been postponed until 2014. Initially scheduled to be launched this summer, RHI was supposed to stimulate people to [...] Read more... | Climatologists are breathing a collective sigh of relief. New data suggests that over the coming decade, the Earth will warm more slowly than previously thought. However, scientists stress that this is not a long-term reprieve – and temperatures are currently rising faster than they have been for the past 11, 000 years. The Earth warmed [...] Read more... |
Not long ago, Google started teasing the world with the idea of a self-driving vehicle. Now, a company called ZMP Inc released a development platform called ”RoboCar MV2 Autonomous Driving Package,” which is a single seat electric vehicle meant to help car companies (like Tesla) get going with autonomous driving. Actually, the ZMP platform is based [...] Read more... | The European Commission (EC) announced last week that they will impose import duties and hefty penalties on half of the solar panels from China in June. In response, Chinese officials stated that these could have serious implications on China-Europe trade relations. Following up on the recently reported issue regarding low cost imports of solar panels [...] Read more... |
Lower rates of global warming over the past few years do not indicate slower increase in temperatures in a long-term, according to a recent study in Nature Geoscience. An international team of scientists conducted a detailed study, which indicates that the lower rates are associated with the absorption of heat by the Earth’s oceans. Using [...] Read more... | You might associate the Kinetic Energy Recovery System [KERS] with high-end Formula 1 race cars, but Volvo isn’t leaving it just for the track. In fact, many track-tested technologies find their way into production vehicles, such as dual-overhead camshafts and tire technology. Volvo’s S60 KERS engineering prototype is one way that Volvo is approaching performance [...] Read more... |
The idea is a couple of hundred years old, but liquified air technology was just too inefficient to store energy. Of course, just like batteries of the 1880′s couldn’t hold a candle to today’s batteries, the technology needed to liquify air today is much more efficient. By compressing and cooling a gas, it can be [...] Read more... | Electric bikes are a great way to get around, especially on city streets. They take up almost no room and you can park them practically anywhere. In New York City, you can also get fined up to $1,000 for riding an electric bike. Electric bikes have actually been outlawed in New York State since 2004, [...] Read more... |
Researchers from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst have recently engineered Geobacter metallireducens, a bacterium that can feed with hydrogen and carbon dioxide to produce electricity. “This represents the first result of current production solely on hydrogen,” says Amit Kumar, who worked with Derek Lovely, the scientist who first isolated Geobacter metallireducens 26 years ago, in the Potomac River. [...] Read more... | A recent study conducted by the US Public Interest Research Group (PIRG) shows that young people these days don’t enjoy driving as much as their parents did. The “driving boom,” as they call it, affected Baby Boomers (now 50 to 60 years old). The total number of miles driven has been the same, but the [...] Read more... |
