Self-driving Technology:
- The integration of autonomous driving technology is revolutionizing the global electric vehicle (EV) landscape. This advancement, aimed at enhancing travel safety and comfort, holds the potential to reduce accidents due to distractions, ease traffic congestion, and improve overall accessibility.
- Despite its myriad benefits, such as lowered medical, repair, and insurance costs, along with the convenience of autonomous drop-offs and parking, widespread adoption faces challenges like regulatory barriers, technological constraints, and public acceptance.
New-age Battery:
- Exciting developments in alternative battery technologies, such as aluminum-graphite and graphene-polymer, offer promising advancements over traditional lithium-ion batteries. Overcoming challenges like ensuring battery longevity, optimizing energy density, and addressing safety concerns are crucial for widespread adoption.
- Common chemicals used for battery protection include lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) and conductive carbon additives. Additionally, coatings and separators utilizing materials like polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) provide enhanced protection for prolonged battery life.
Innovations:
- Recent patent portfolio analysis by Signicent and scouting research revealed remarkable innovations in autonomous driving technology. Tusimple Inc Technologies has developed an Autonomous Electric Vehicle (AEV) that relies on accurate perception and prediction of the surrounding driving environment and traffic participants, enabling correct and safe decision-making for vehicle control.
- Accurate prediction of changes in response to control commands such as steering, acceleration, and braking is crucial for effective autonomous vehicle control.
- State Grid Shanghai Electric Power Co Ltd. employs Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, enabling bidirectional electricity exchange between EVs and the grid. This innovative approach allows EVs not only to draw power from the grid for charging but also to supply excess electricity back to the grid when needed.
Each year Signicent provides consultancy to hundreds of organizations to help transform their innovations to value.
