Auto lobby groups file lawsuit over mandatory autonomous emergency
The Alliance for Automotive Innovation believes it is "practically impossible" to implement these regulations with existing technology go through Brad Anderson 6 hours ago Brands represented by the group include BMW, Ferrari, Toyota, Volkswagen, Honda, Hyundai and Kia. Its chief executive described the rule as a "catastrophic decision" by the safety regulator. NHTSA believes its strict new AEB requirements will save 362 lives and reduce injuries each year. The Alliance for Automotive Innovation has sued the U.S. Department of Transportation (DoT) to repeal regulations requiring nearly all new cars and trucks to be equipped with automatic emergency braking (AEB) systems by 2029. Despite the lawsuit, the organization insists it does not intend to do so. Opposition to AEB is not due to lack of confidence in this technology. In April 2024, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) finalized a rule requiring "all vehicles to stop and avoid contact with the vehicle in front of them at speeds up to…
Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Grand Cherokee 4xe file lawsuit
FCA Canada has been accused of manufacturing and selling defective plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). December 26, 2024 — A Canadian class action lawsuit for the 2020-2024 Jeep Wrangler 4xe and 2022-2024 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe alleges a battery defect caused the battery to catch fire. FCA Canada has been accused of selling Jeeps without warning consumers of the dangers, and the plaintiffs in the lawsuit claim the recall didn't help. The Jeep Wrangler 4xe and Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe are plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) that rely on high-voltage hybrid battery systems. But flaws in those systems caused the batteries to catch fire regardless of whether the Jeep was parked or driving, the lawsuit said. Charging Jeeps near combustible items is not allowed, and owners say they have yet to receive what they paid. Jeep 4xe vehicles are equipped with a high-voltage lithium-ion battery pack composed of nickel manganese cobalt. The battery packs are made by Samsung, which the…
How to create a vector file for your logo
How to Create a Logo Vector File - Instent Vector version of logo Can be zoomed infinitely without losing sharpness or becoming blurry. The file format for vector images specifies the mathematical equations that define points, lines, and curves. In contrast, raster images effectively list colored points and are compressed to save space. A raster image may fit into the single resolution for which it was designed, but scaling it to a larger or smaller size introduces "artifacts," visual glitches caused by inaccuracies in the algorithm's guesses about how to display the image at the new size. Advances in AI upgrading technology can correct some of these issues, but ultimately, it's better to use vectors from the start to address the root cause and give yourself more flexibility. Scaling your logo allows you to use it on unlimited surfaces and materials without being limited by the size of the file you originally created. You can use your logo on small…
