autonomous vehicles create fuel-economy challenges - battery power storage

NEW YORK—
From GM's point of view
Musk's prediction is that the world is moving towards the future of driverless and driverless --electric.
In reality, autonomy and battery power may end up being inconsistent.
That's because of self.
Driving technology is a huge power consumption.
Today's prototypes of some fully autonomous systems consume two to 4 KW of electricity.
According to BorgWarner Inc. , there are between 50 and 100 laptops running in the trunk continuously.

Too much energy-
Hungry and powered by battery alone.
In an industry where the number of LEDs in a brake light has been reviewed for their impact on gas mileage, processing data from laser, radar and camera sensors will be a huge challenge --
Not only for programmers engaged in machine learning, but also for engineers trying to efficiently power their vehicles.

The survey shows that major markets from California to China have increased pressure to curb pollution, automakers and their suppliers will have to find creative new ways to offset emissions from the increasingly intelligent brains of cars.

"It's just magnified this challenge.
"Autonomous functions on a level 4 or 5 vehicle that can operate without human intervention, according to Chris Thomas, chief technology officer at bogwarner, devouring so much power, making it more difficult to achieve fuel economy and carbon emissions targets.
To be sure, these calculations are based on the prototype car with sensors on the roof, and with the advancement of technology, the power demand for electronic devices in the car will inevitably decline.
But even if chip makers honor their promise to reduce power consumption by up to 90, automakers still need to improve fuel efficiency elsewhere in the car to compensate for all the calculations, Thomas said.
"They're worried about one watt, and now you're adding a few more kilowatts," Thomas said . ".
"This is not a trivial matter.

"They will love the plug.
In hybrid electric vehicles, they will need additional gasoline engines, both of which are designed to expand the scope in order to be able to carry out the work cycle of the taxi type, but it also helps to reduce the proportion of the self-main system on the battery pack, "said Jaffe, whose research and consulting firm specializes in energy storage.

The other automaker that envisioned an autonomous hybrid is Ford Motor.
Last week, the company said it had set up a new department to speed up the development of electric vehicles.

Jim Farley, president of Ford's global marketplace, told investors on October that electric vehicles are "very limited to your business ". 3.
Ford, he says, sees hybrid cars as "the right technology to start.
